Hi everyone. I have a Qatari Residence Permit which is valid till November of 2011. But I had left the country in July of last year. I know that I have to be back at least 1 day before I had left the country. I am here in the United States for some important work but I'll be back by December of this year. I have been told that if I don't come back by July of this year, I'll lose my residence Permit (which I don't want to). What do I do? Thanks for your help.

Yeah....the Exit Permit is valid upto 6 months but it can be extended upto a maximum of 1 year under special circumstances and after paying a further fee of QR 500. You can apply for an extended exit permit alongwith a medical certificate or something like that (pretending...off course). BUT in any case... you cant come back on the same visa after july this year.

As far as I know, if you leave Qatar for longer then 6 month (without returning) your RP will expire! check at the Qatar Embassy in US to double check!
