The grace period will start on Sunday, February 9, 2025, and last for three months, offering an opportunity for individuals to rectify their status. During this time, violators can complete their departure procedures at either Hamad International Airport or the Search and Follow-up Department on Salwa Road. Both locations will be open from 1pm to 9pm on weekdays to assist with the process.

This initiative aims to provide a smooth and efficient way for people to leave the country in compliance with the law.
