Urgent Response required about Residence Permit
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.
if your outside of qatar for more than 6 months the r p becomes invalid
try to check the immg. dept. website, or better off call thier number, they will fighure out something for you.
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!
