Can I exit with the rp on the old passport?
Dear all,
I have just renewed my passport. However, due to the work I was not able to transfer the resident permit on the old passport to the new passport.
Will it be a issue if I want to get the exit permit for a short business trip then come back to Qatar to work?
How long it gonna take if I wanna transfer my resident permit to the new passport?
Thank you
Regards,
Lim
Where is this done? Can a person do it on they own or does the company have to do it for them?
Thanks guy. So I can travel without transfer the resident permit to the new passport? Or it is limited to family visa or people that holding multiple exit permit?
If I wanna transfer the resident permit to new passport, where should I go and how long it will take? Shall I pass to my sponsor to transfer the resident permit or I can do it myself?
Thanks again for all of your helps. :)
Working Visa requires an exit permit to travel outside the country whereas family visa does not require any exit permit.
To apply for an exit permit, a person needs a valid passport, not passports.
I supposed Raven and Oryx are holding family visas.
Raven is correct - i have traveled with both passports...as the RP hadn't expired
HABIBMDH you dont HAVE to, its advisable you do...I was travelling with my RP in my old passport for 4 months before my RP was renewed in my new passport, never once had a problem at immigration
I agree with Raven1968, take both when you travel, you will be fine in the way back.
you have transfer to the new passport, which will not take much time.
You can travel with both passports, just because your old passport is cancelled doen't make your RP cancelled. I had the same issue last year and just showed my RP in my old passport to immigration, this wasn't a problem...but arrange to have it transferred as soon as you can
Your old passport must have been cancelled when you renew it. Nobody is allowed to travel with cancelled or expired passport.
You can give an allowance of at least one hour to transfer your RP to your new passport. The payment of that transaction is Qatari Riyals 110.
