better ask the authorities. a friend of mine was issued a residence permit about 3 weeks back, he has the ID, and he got exit permit from his company. all was set for a planned trip to dubai, but, was he aghast when the airline would not let him board. apparently your visa needs to be at least 6 months old before you are granted exit. well, at least to GCC, though im not very sure, perhaps to home country is fine. but otherwise, i think you're in detention.

should be worth it to check with the right people just to save you the hassle.
