Qatar ID is an identification card that expires after a certain period of time. There are several ways to renew your Qatar ID (QID), depending on its classification.
The employer, sponsor, or ID holder has three months to renew their QID after it expires. It is also possible to renew Qatar IDs up to three months before their expiration. As soon as the grace period has expired, the Ministry will start charging QR 10 per day as a penalty.
It is possible to renew residence permits online and offline at the Ministry of Interior, according to Hukoomi. It is only possible to renew your license online for a period of one to three years. You can check the status of your Qatar Visa from this URL: https://www.qatarvisa-check.com/
