Hi peeps, just need clarification on this issue; I was made to know and believe that if one is not working within 3 months of entry and without RP, one will be paying Qatar govt QR10 per day. What if one has done medical tests and fingerprint stuff withing the 3 months but without RP, is the person still owing? Please i need to clarify this ASAP.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but that is highly incorrect.

You will only owe the government money as you said if you are here on a visit visa and you continue to stay in the country even after the expiration of your visit visa. That means you will get a fine for every day that you stay illegally in the country.

If you have a working visa and despite the fact that your RP has still not been processed up to now, you have nothing to worry about.
