Dear QLers;

I would like to seek some idea from you guys, as my friend really needs your inputs. My friend is working in one company here in Qatar. He's status in his company is "Bachelor" but indeed, the company allowed him to get his wife and kids under his sponsorship.

Now, my friend's company is in a not-well status, therefore it reducing its manpower and employees. My friend got terminated, Iqama cancelled!, but his company is willing to give him NOC. The thing is, my friend should exit Qatar. So the question is what will happen to his dependents (wife and kids?) they have to exit first before the exit of my friend? And what if, my friend got another offer from other company, what are the steps he will do before exiting Qatar?

Your inputs are very much appreciated.

if his iqama is cancelled, automatically his sponsorship to his dependent is also cancelled. if he will exit qatar, his dependent will also exit. if he can find another job without exiting qatar, he can continue his sponsorship to his dependents. the best thing he can do is to find first a new company before his iqama is cancelled since the company is willing to give noc.
