Stayed out of the country more than 6 months

Good Day Colleagues,

I stayed out of the country more than 6 months, my visa is valid until next year 2015 but my resident permit (Qatar ID) is expired last September. Can I return to work in Qatar with same sponsor? I read an article in Qatarday.com regarding  "Visa is granted for an expatriate on the sponsorship of an establishment, who has stayed out of the country more than 6 months and his residence permit is still valid." but in my case my residence permit is expired.

Please advise.

Usa citysans can inter without visa

Thanks. Is there any other idea?
