Hi Rafeeq,

I sent the resignation by email. I have an offer letter from the company which states the notice period. I have never faced any complaints during my tenure. I have worked for less than a year. No I was hired from outside Qatar. I don't get any stay or transport benefits. Salary is bank transfer. There is no reason for denying yet, but I'm sure the company can come up with something if they want to. I don't know why they would want to though. Wouldn't it be easier and a lot less expensive for them to just cancel my visa and give me an exit permit? Or do they have any benefit in withholding exit permit?

And how long will cid take in this instance? It's a small company with no such name and fame. I can give you more details if you could provide me your contact.

Hi Memon

I was told labour dept doesn't deal with exit permits and for that I need to goto CID only. Have you had any luck with labour dept?

Also do I need to have a lawyer to deal with this matter? Can you suggest some ?

Thanks a lot guys
