Resident permit renewal
By Ben Tenison •
my maid is on her vacation in her home country...she wants to stay for another month [3months vacation] she was supposed to come end of Jan 2016...however her R.P will expire on the 15th Feb....
can i renew her R.P while she is out of the country???
pls no silly comments...as i want to help her....
Thank you all in advance
"I took her passport and RP". She is abroad.
If she is out of the country, he won't have her passport, so he can't renew the visa.
Passport and rp...that says it all
Yes Yes, smarty and all mighty Nanoflim...doggy...not so law abiding citizen. Lets all get along! Dun argue, if you want the correct process, just go to immigration at Mesameer and clear it out. Sometimes, rules do change without notice. Just to share, I have renewed my maid's visa just in Dec 2015. Process was simple, I took her passport and RP, told them I want to renew, they said pay QAR 500 through the card and that was it, quick 15 minutes and I was done. They put the new sticker on her passport and issued the RP Card. Having said this, you may need to get your maid to send your passport via DHL or FEDEX to get it renewed.
they dont drag because they are at home and for renewing a sponsor goes with her "passport". And you either talk about ur maid or a qatari maid or be sure.
Ok Nanofilm, you can be the smarty of the QL...Be blessed that you don't know the traffic rules and abiding by the law!
But as I informed the poster on my previous comment, better to check with immigration at Mesameer. And my comment still stand, where I have renewed by maid's visa without her presence being needed. Do you see Qatari or other expats dragging their maid to immigration to renew their visa? If you see them, please point me out! Enough said!
btw...rp has 3 months grace period so you are on safe side
if you use ur brain...for renewing visa passport is required and to the op http://nricafe.com/2015/06/qatars-new-residence-card-top-questions-and-answers/
MM and Nanoflim...Do you have housemaid? Have you ever renewed their visa directly. If not, pls don't comment silly things as per the request of the poster
No, I renewed my maid's visa without her being present. So there! And this is a genuine comment!
Her presence is required why because as per new rule the sticker will be in the passport and if not passport how will you process it. so basically her presence is must.
No way ............. She needs to be present here ......................
Yes you can, you need to go to the Immigration Dept at Mesameer Abu Hamour, but you need her passport or RP, I am not sure if they take copies, better ask them there if you can make a quick visit. Renewal for 1 year will cost you QAR 500, before, but I heard they increased fees. Please go and check with immigration at Mesameer and find out more.
