RP renewal if person is not in qatar

By sunny side up

hi all
i am faced with a peculiar problem
we are having a baby (delivery is not happening in qatar)
and her RP will expire while she is out of the country.

Is it possible that when i go to leave her i bring her RP & passport back with me, have it renewed here on its due date (in her absence) and then take it with me when im going to pick her and the baby up?

alternatively, is it possible to get an RP renewed before its expiry date? (ie. before we leave)

time line:
10 oct going to home country
3 jan baby expected due date
14 feb wifes RP expiry date
end of march date of return

please help me out with a possible solution to this problematic timeline

you can renew your passport 6 months before RP expiry and you an pay 500 Qr fee to extend your stay outside the country up to one year,for clarification you can check with any Typing Centers around immigration Office in Graffa the better one is Al Rafa Typing Center on the same side of petrol station near to immigration round about towards Qatar Foundation........cheers

1. You cannot renew the RP of your wife if she is not in Doha.

2. Better go to the Immigration Department and check how many months in advance you can renew the RP. As per my knowledge, it is only 3 months but I might be wrong.

Yes, you can renew her RP before it expire. I did renew mine as well 3 months before expiration.

I think you can renew the RP before it's expiry date. Check with your PRO for the procedures.

Why don't you renew RP before your wife leaves? Go to immigration and try to renew for another year. Other wise better to check wIth PRO.

No, sorry. She must be in Doha for the RP renewal.
