My PP expires on 25th May (Final) and I wish to go for a short vacation in 9th April and return on 25th April, do I need to get my pass renewed before I travel?
if you have valid rp and you have embassy here in qatar.
you can go and come back in situation you wrote.I am sorry Mandi. here I dont agree with you.
first time entry, must need minimum 6 months validity.
you can travel to your country(without break down journy)with expired passport but can not enter with expired passport.(even some countries dont allow transit paxes with limited valid pp or expired one.)
I dont think it is necessary to have 6 months validity while you hold a valid Residence Permit. 6 months validity of a PP is required if you are travelling to a country without having a valid visa for that country and you will not get a visa if you does not have 6 months valid Passport as well.
In this case I would suggest you to renew your Passport before you go on leave as you do not have too many days left. You are planning to come back at the end of April and in case if you are not able to travel your Passport will get expired and you will be in trouble. So play safe.
Most countries require you to have at least 6 months remaining on your passport before they will allow you to enter.
I had the same problem as you whilst living in Panama. I am a resident there but with a UK passport. I was going on a 2 day business trip to Mexico and had to renew my passport before I left Panama.
Therefore, if you live here but do not have a Qatari passport, you will require to renew your passport before you leave for your trip.
