i have to submit my passport to UK embassy for applying a buisiness visa. i heard that it will take minimum of 2 weeks for getting the visa and till that the passport will be with UK embassy. As i have to go an emergency vacation to india (indian) for 4 or 5 days, is there any way to go without getting the passport from UK embassy? Thanks in advance for your kind advise.

BLEU, Where the airport immigration staff of Qatar and India will put EXIT and ENTRY Stamp if no passport. And how you will know in future of your previous journey details as there in no any website in Qatar which shows your complete passport details. So Passport is must.

Even if you managed to exit Qatar, definetly you will be in truble at Indian airports. They will never allow with out passport to enter the country like any other places.

As mentioned by bleu it might be possible to exit Qatar if you have the New Chip ID and Exit Card but I dont think you will be able to get in to India as they will ask for the Passport. Now a days it is very strict in Indian Airports. One more thing how he is going to come back without a Passport - The new chip ID is not enough for entry.

Of course you can, if you have a new digital chip ID card, and an exit permit. You can get out of Qatar.

I don't know about India, would they allow you to come in without a passport?? can you get in with an Indian ID??

just pick up the passport from the imigration office. all that will happen is that it will suspend your visa application and you will have to go to the back of the queue so to speak.

Qatar is different to most countries, especially Europe, where your passport is not essential to leave a country but it is essential to enter, so i guess you do need it which ever way you look at it.

How you are thinking to travel without your Passport as it is your travel document? First of all you will not be able to exit from Qatar without the travel document (your Passport). Go and check with the British Embassy how they can help you in this issue.

If it's a real emergency go and retreive your passport form the embassy and return it when you come back, otherwise, you are going nowhere.

And yes, it really is a daft question!
