Hello, 

I had a query. I am a RP holder and my residency is valid till August 2021. My passport also expires in the same month. Is it possible to travel to my home country in April 2021 and return to Qatar after 2 weeks with less than 6 months validity left on my PASSPORT?

@basil911 but then i would have to amend my QID too and that will also take time.

I think just before you travel you can fast track the renewal of your passport.You still can travel but be sure to renew it as soon as you come back.

Suggest you talk to your company's PRO for better information. You can also check this out with some travel agents or people who are in the typing business.

@goodlittleboy does this 6 months passport validity rule apply to RP holders too? I can only renew my passport 8 months before it's expiry not now. And i have to travel at the start of next year too so i was trying to avoid renwing my passport if the 6 months validity doesn't apply to RP holders.

I believe the passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months. Why don't you renew your passport before you travel?
