Hi all, my wife is in India for delivery which is expected towards the end of September and also her Visa and RP will expire Sept. 30th. Is there any grace period for entry in Qatar even if the Visa is expired. I know we can extend the RP by paying QR 500 in the Airport Immigration if the visa is valid. Please send your valuable feedback. Thanx

Hi, I am suggesting you this as I am also facing the same question and tried to get a possible answer to it.

Dear Please be aware that you cannot post / courrier self or anybodies passport to other country. Sending of passport out of the country through courrier / post is Illegal as your passport is a Government Property.

Secondly. If your wife is pregnant and unable to travel to Qatar and if during this time her visa/RP has expired then she is not allowed to board the plane nor allowed to clear her immigration check at her departure location itself.

You need to reapply for a fresh VISA if it is for the first time arrival with all the documents attached with Immigration Dept / Ministry Of Labour

But if its an old Family VISA which is expired then please contact  immigration to understand the renewal of the Family Visa.

Hope this helps

you are in a grave situation here. since  your wife is out of Qatar, you do not have her passport. more over im sure even if she couriers you her passport you will not be able to extend her visa.unfortunately i think you will have to reapply with all the documents.you can give one try by checking with the immigration if your wife can courier her Passport to you and if you can extend it.You may also want to check with the Qatar Embassy in India. Im sure they can help you renew the RPhope that helps.
