All expatriate workers require an exit permit to leave Qatar. The sponsor has a right to deny an exit permit if there are any issues with the employee that need to be resolved prior to departure. In such cases, the issue can be sorted amicably with your sponsor.

If the sponsor accuses the employee of theft or fraud etc, the issue can be referred to local authorities for legal proceedings. In such cases, the employee is barred from departing the country by the court. However, the court also reserves the right to waive the travel ban and can allow such an employee to travel. This would depend upon the judge and the seriousness of the charges against the employee.
