New exit permit law for Qatar expatriates implemented yesterday
New exit permit law for Qatar’s expatriates has been implemented from yesterday, 28th Oct 2018. With this law in place, no exit permit required for most of Qatar’s expatriates to leave the country temporarily for a short period or permanently for good. Except for the list of employees (who require prior consent to exit the country) submitted by an employer through the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs (MADLSA) Website (http://www.adlsa.gov.qa)
Qatar has recently brought a major policy change in which it has put an end to exit permits expect 5% of a company’s workforce to obtain a prior consent to exit the country because of the nature of their work. Before this new law, it was mandatory for the expat worker to obtain an exit permit through his sponsor / company to exit Qatar temporarily for a short period or permanently for good.
