HELP FORGOT ID CARD

Good to hear that. Just don't repeat the same mistake again!

Hi guys, thanks for all the answers, I thankfully had a photocopy of my ID with me and i presented to the immigration there, they let me go and when i arrived here, they only scanned my passport and allowed me to enter Qatar.

"britexpat - I find it strange that you need to show your QID at the airport"

The country I come from, security at the airport gate first checks my flight ticket, and visa (Which now is the QID) then again at check-in, my ticket and QID, then immigration checks the ticket, PP and QID.

Second point - "your passport is your main travel document and is linked to your visa and residency " that information is with the Qatar immigration, not at country of origin.

Peace guys,

@ Accha and Brit, I still do not get Rayyan 5 gallon water bottles,

There is just one thing clear from the above post... there is a considerable degree of jealousy that has bred up against me. Just who the hell is pioneerpec to ask me to quit Qatar Living? Pioneerpec hardly posts anything at QL and when he does, he is so pent up with pride of his knowledge that he finds it difficult to keep himself on the ground.

Stay on the ground man. Have the heart to accept the truth and learn to live with people. You comment makes no difference to me at all.

It does need a lot of courage to appreciate others! .

You are 10,000% right, brit.

From Doha News: In the event that the card is lost, the MOI said a person will be allowed to return to Qatar if he hasn’t been gone for more than six months. His card would be marked lost at immigration.

1000% ??

Don't forget to advise us what you did to come here

Solution 2 : Return Visa processed by employer / sponsor

In case of losing the Residence Card, the safest option will be to get a Return Visa processed by your employer / sponsor. Even though it is a costly affair, this will guarantee that you will not face any hassle during travel.

Return Visa or Re-entry Permit is a temporary document that has 14/30 days validity. The sponsored person has to return to Qatar within the validity period. Return visa can be issued even in cases where the person has stayed out for more than 6 months (provided that his Residence Visa is still valid).

Here is how your employer / sponsor can get the Return Visa :

1. For those on sponsorship of companies and establishments

This visa is granted for an expatriate on the sponsorship of an establishment, whose residence permit is still valid. The sponsor can apply through MoI Service Center.

Requirements:

• Submission of the application from the sponsor (Form can be downloaded here or obtained from any typing center)

• Copy of the establishment card of the company

• Passport copy of the sponsored person

• In case of passport loss, a copy of a Lost Passport Certificate, along with copies of the old and new passport, are required.

• Fee: QR 500 (Pay by credit / debit card)

2. For those on personal sponsorship of an expatriate resident (family members)

This visa is granted for family members of a resident whose residence permit is still valid.

The sponsor can apply online (Metrash 2) or through MoI Service Center. Here is the how to apply through MoI Service Center :

Requirements:

• Submission of the application from the sponsor (Form can be downloaded here or obtained from any typing center)

• Passport copy or the ID card copy of the sponsor

• Passport copy of the sponsored person

• In case of passport loss, a copy of a Lost Passport Certificate, along with copies of the old and new passport, are required.

• Fee: QR 500 (Pay by credit / debit card)

3. For those on personal sponsorship of a Qatari national

This visa is granted for house maids and others who are on the personal sponsorship of a Qatari national.

Here is the how to apply through MoI Service Center :

Requirements:

• Submission of an application from the sponsor (Form can be downloaded here or obtained from any typing center)

• Copy of the ID Card of the sponsor

• Passport copy of the sponsored person

• In case of passport loss, a copy of a Lost Passport Certificate, along with copies of the old and new passport, are required.

• Fee: QR 200 (Pay by credit / debit card)

NOTE : If you lose your passport and get a return visa / permit, your lost passport becomes invalid / blacklisted. You cannot use that passport in case you get it back.

In June 2015, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior had introduced new Residence Permit cards for expatriates, thereby abolishing the system of RP stickers in passports. In effect, the new Residence Permit cards are now acting as identity proof as well as travel document for the expatriates.

With the new system, one problem many people face is losing the Residence Permit card while abroad.

There are two solutions if you face such a situation :

I am probably wrong ???

You are 1000% wrong.

You old people like britexpat and acchabaccha need to quit qatarliving.

This britexpat should get out from here...he simply comments nonsense on each and everything.....no knowledge ...

I am probably wrong , but I find it strange that you need to show your QID at the airport - your passport is your main travel document and is linked to your visa and residency

if u have a friend who has access to your QID in Qatar...tell him to send u a color scan copy and also a color pic on whatsapp...if it helps you good for you..give a try...all the best

You could also check the newspapers about the QID months ago. where they have mentioned about carrying the QID while travelling or you will not be allowed to return.

Visa is not being stamped in the passport anymore, QID is very important, visit the MOI site, there are options, I do not remember much, but you need the QID to board your flight, If you remember the QID number visit the Qatar Embassy in your home country to sort it out.

Siddqui, No body will ever ask you when you enter your own home my pal ......... Qatar has it's arms open always ........ for the gentlemen like you .................. you are welcome back ........ Eid greetings ...... !

You don't need your Qatar Id when travelling -

Your query is somewhat not clear. Your passport should have the RP stamped on it and the flight check-in desk can confirm from this about your visa and its validity. As for your Qatar ID ask your colleague to send you a scanned copy by email should you feel the need for it.

I just hope I have understood your query correctly.
