Kindly need your advice
Dear QL friends, my family left out of Qatar on 31st of January 2013 and plan to come back to Qatar on 28th of July 2013. (Their RP were renewed till may 2014 in January 2013). Is there any problem in the immigration at the airport because they are out of Qatar almost 6 month. Your advises are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you very much to you all for your reply. I heard that should be entered into the country within 179 days otherwise visa will expire.
Shukran ...
Hurraim3, u r right .
Now the law has been changed.If your family wants to stay Out of Qatar for more than 6 months then you have to go to immigration and pay a fee of QR 500 for each Passport.
After paying the fee they can come before expiry of RP.
Yes. They have to come back within 30th July.

As six months period ending on 30th July 2013 your family can come back before this date.
It is said that the ID becomes invalid if you stay out of the country for 6 months so I don't really know what's gonna be involved
