My RP will expire on July 2009 and I'm planning to go to Dubai this coming June for 15 days vacation. Can I still allowed to exit Doha? or do I need to renew it first before I exit Doha? Please advise..Thanks..

I think there shouldnt be any problem traveling, especially if your company will issue an exit permit. We've had staffs that go on vacation a month before their working visa expired, they came back and then we renewed it. I think it depends on which country you will go to. My boss who was suppose to go to Kuwait, postponed his trip the day itself, because he was informed that his visa is not valid for 6months.

Short answer is no. I travelled to Abu Dhabi on business and only had two weeks left on my RP. I got stopped at the airport check in and said they could not let me travel as I needed I think it was either 2 or 3 months left on my RP. I got them to call UAE immigration and eventually they agreed I could travel as I was a British passport holder. So the general rule is no but if you have a western passport you can probably get away with it but at your own risk.
