dear fiends,

one of my friend have worked in qatar and his visa will be expiring on January 2012, at the same time he got a job in oman.

he didn't cancel his qatar visa and he went as a vacation only. now the period of vacation is not even 6 month.

so he wanted to come to qatar from oman and he wants to re-new his qatar visa. is it possible to do like that?

so pleas advice me on this regards...

YES, AS HIS VISA IS STILL ACTIVE TILL JANUARY, HE CAN COME BACK EVEN IF HE HAS ANY OTHER GCC COUNTRY VISA. BUT ONCE HE WILL BE HERE DEFINITELY THE COMPANY WILL ASK AS HOW HE MANAGED TO GET THE VISA BUT THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM. SO YOUR FRIEND CAN COME ANY TIME BEFORE EXPIRY OF THE RP.

THANKS

if your friend was here on work visa (RP), his RP should have been cancelled when he moved to Oman. Having dual residency is possible (nationality / profession restrictions apply) but there is a pretty big fee to pay. Why doesn't your friend just come over on a visit visa if he's only coming over for a visit? Keep it simple - is the best advice :o)

first of all, what kind of visa does your friend has? If it is a company-sponsored visa, then it is the company who will re-new it (actually, whatever kind of visa, it should be the sponsor to re-new it).
