Residen Permit Expires Before I Leave Qatar
I will be working in Qatar until mid-April. However, my Resident Permit (w/ work Visa) expires mid-March. My employer tells me that I can continue to work for up to 90 days after my Resident Permit expires, but I am not totally comfortable with this.
-Is it true I can stay for up to 90 days?
-What other implications (insurance, potential automobile accidents, etc.) are there with an expired Resident Permit?
If it matters, I am a U.S. Citizen.
Thanks in advance.
could be a project visa
maaaaan !!!! where the hell you got those info from
6 months Visa ,means Resident Visa in Qatar ? My future company -where i will work- send me a Visa for 6 months and they told me ,this is a Resident renewable Visa.Thats true ?
is it true that work permit is to be issued before joining in case of first job in doha, or there is some time period given after joining to process the same..
Your employer is true. Because its not worth renewing it for another year, since you are working only one more month after its expiry. The minimum RP renewal is 1 year.
I am not sure about the other concerns like accidents and insurances etc.
the 90 days is the grace period to renew the resident work permit. the fees still applies to the 90 day though.
its like the car renew process. when the car registration & insurance expires. there is 1 month grace period to renew it. During the Grace period if you had an accident then you will be liable for the insruance coverage and still pay for the damages.
Ask you company to renew your work permit for 6 months or 1 year to be on the safe side. or ask them in writing if they will take the responsibility for not renewing the visa.

ur welcome.
hahahhah, u r really funny, thx for ur joke!! did u work as a joker b4?
the name is warm_heart but answers questions offensively and rudely.
I am not sure. Doesn't quite seem right that you work after the visa expires. If something goes wrong then you have no comeback because they could say you knowingly broke the law.
You need to contact the Ministry of Labour i think.
