Dear QL Friends,

Is it possible to renew RP for Family i.e. Parents under my sponsorship - although they are not in Qatar now but have valide RP until Feb 2016.

Will they be required to be in Country for Renewal or I can do it through Metrash without them being in Qatar.

Appreciate your advice in this regards.

Regards,

Ajit

Your parents should have valid RP at least with two months validity in this case, if they overstay more than 6 months outside the country you need to obtain a return visa 2 weeks prior their arrival from the main immigration office. remember to go there with a copy of their arriving ticket.

Renewals require the person to be here, however they can return to the country before February since RP is valid till Feb.

in this case, if they overstay more than 6 months outside the country you need to obtain a return visa 2 weeks prior thier arrival from the main immigration office. remember to go there with a copy of thier arriving ticket.
