Exit.............GCC...........!
My friend was in Saudi Arabia for the one year. Now under vacation in Sri Lanka. But he is not interested in going back to Saudi due to some problems with employer. I think as per the rule he will be getting EXIT and cant go back to Saudi for next two years to work under another employer. Can he apply immediately for another GCC country or the Saudi EXIT will effect all GCC countries.
I had a couple of guys in our company who were banned (not only cancelled) in UAE and they got their Qatari work visa with the same passport. Only in some specific cases, the ban is imposed in all the GCC...not in all.
As far as the dual GCC residency is concerned..... I dont know about all the GCC but Qatar allows you to keep both by paying a fee of QR 2000/year. The information is available on the MoI's website.
He is not allowed 'dual GCC residency'. If he doesn't cancel his Saudi visa it will automatically expire 6 months after his departure and then the ban time starts. If his visa is cancelled by his employer it goes straight into ban period (however long that is in Saudi).
Suggestion? Get a new passport to reenter another GCC Country. Have met many people during my stay in Qatar who have done the same.
If he is not blacklisted by saudi , he can apply
I don't see any problem in APPLYING!!!!!
He can apply for other GCC countries.
No ban in GCC, only in KSA. He can still work in any other GCC, irrespective of the ban in KSA!
There might be a 6 month period where he is banned in the GCC overall, but the 2 year is only applicable in the individual GCC Country.
That is why they called it GCC, entire region of gulf countries. He can apply to any GCC country except saudi with his new passport. Otherwise, NOC is a requirement.
He can apply to another country in GCC if his Saudi visa is cancelled.
I doubt.......let him try his LUCK!
