Absconding
By mishilmishil •
I'm outside of Qatar for 5 months now, I filed a resignation to my company but they did not allow me. I had to take an emergency leave because of some issues in my homeland. I'm aware that the visa/rp will be cancelled after 6 months of being outside the country but can my employer file an absconding case against me on the ground of non-returning from emergency leave?
Company cant file any bloody case for manipulation or corruption without any certificate from 3rd parties after the exit permit is issued. Only thing they can do is that they can cancel your visa as a non-return to work. These are stupid management claims to try you continue with them.
You might not face any issue for come on Qatar with a Visiting Visa, Family visa or business visa at any time after the current visa is expired.
issue is only, You don’t get any Work Visa from a company as 2 years ban is effective from the date of expiry of your current Visa.
And also the company cannot file an absconding suit against you, as the exit permit was issued by them.
If you have a proof for the resignation submitted, it is also effective. As per Qatar law employee can give a resignation at any time , normal notice period is 30 days. so if you have the proof you contact the company secretary and ask for Full and Final Settlement, with a copy of your resignation (it has contain at least some acceptances or company seal or something, which evidenced that you were submit the resignation) and threaten back him/her.
Only one issue you may face, if company file a criminal suit against you for misappropriating company money or goods. if not don’t worry. come back and give sweets to us. But don’t forget to ask full and final settlement from previous company.
Note:- I do not check spelling and grammar, sorry
MM, you have been on a long emergency leave, normally a leave would be for one month, did you officially request your company that they extend your leave to cover this 5 month period that you have been out of the country or has it been absence without permission. do you have email communications etc supporting your request.
hope you have a copy of the resignation letter that you had sent to them and the rejection.
i am not sure about the rules applicable for a company sponsored individual to come on husband sponsor within the year.
Phsb, Yes I got an exit permit and now in India. I was told by our company secretary that they plan to file an absconding case against me because I did not return from my emergency leave to which I intended to resign earlier because of some personals issues, had they accepted my resignation.
t_coffee, thank you for the responses.
Han19, I was on a company sponsorship during my stay in qatar.
on whom sponsorship are you, husband or company?if you are on husband sponsorship, there is nothing to worry about, he needs to apply for extension for your stay outside qatar post 6 months.but you can return without any hassles.
if you are on company sponsorship, then its not so simple.

Yes you can come on your Husband sponsor after 6 months.
Nothing to worry. The sad part is you cannot come to Qatar for 2 years.
how can he file absconding ??,,,, he issued exit permit for you no ???.. may be they are lying
can I return under my husband's sponsorship after six months then?
No, I do not have any outstanding loans or credit cards in Qatar.
A big NO as you are not in Qatar.
Do you have any outstanding loans?
