is it true that as a foreigner (of any nationality) residing in qatar you re required an exit permit by your sponsor every time you need to get out of the country even for a week-end get away! I find it strange and life complicating? could any one confirm it ? thank you dear readers

YES!!!! If you are under-sponsorship of your company. For husband sponsor - no need for exit permit.

for everything you need sponsor letter/approval ... ups you can go to the WC without asking..

or to make sure you dont run away from your job or bank loans.

Sponsor has to put up the fees for visa ticket and they want guarantee you stay for the contract period.

Yest is true.

We normally have to apply a week in advance for an exit visa. BTW they are not allowed to refuse you an exit visa (supposedly!)
