Are they phasing out ID cards or E-gate cards?

Yes, Speakenglish. You are right.

When we renewed R.P. for our company workers 4 months back, Garafa Immigration issued E-gates and after that we never got E-gates, only usual ID Cards.

One of my friend was sharing his views. According to him some lengthier procedure is needed to get E-gate passes. For that one should go through CEID clearance etc. Anyway, I will discuss with him and update my answers.

I heard 2 stories - they were stopping E-gates and only renewing ID cards and then I heard it was the opposite way round! Typical Qatar, no one knows what's happening. Thanks anyway.

Sort of. There's a new combined card now.
