Staying more than six months outside Qatar
By neoaspilet •
My wife, due to unavoidable circumstances needs to stay outside Qatar for more than six months. She is under my sponsorship (husband visa). I've heard that you can pay a penalty of 200-500 QAR so they will permit her to enter the country again without the visa being canceled. Does anyone have ever tried this? Thanks in advance.
Gracias Soniya and prince, I can't thank you enough. Really a big help. Godspeed and more power.
neo, Just go to the airport immigration with the passport copy of your wife and yours and with the date of exit to extend it for another 6 months...
You will get the FORM to be filled in there itself..Present the form, QR 500 and the passport copies mentioned above to the immigration authorities..
you can bring your wife back within one year of her exit anytime. if over 6 months you can take her passport copy to immigration dept and pay 500 QR to increase the duration of her stay till 12 months (overall). it's not penalty it's facility from government for family and kids who are under father or husband sponsorship and studying abroad.

Thank u guys! much helpful. I still have one question though, other than paying QR 500, what else do i need to present (e.g. docs, visa, letter)? Does the immigration have any requirements?
samerelaian, you mentioned about a cover letter, can u pls tell me what this letter contain? is it like an explanation or something?
Dear
Before ur wife come back to qatar one week u have to go to the airport immegration and make for her cover letter 500 Qr .
You need to pay QR 500 at the airport immigration..
I am not sure about the procedure if your wife exceeds her stay even after the extension of 6 months..
Make sure that her RP should not expire or else you have to start everything from ground zero..
