there was a very good guy working here a few years ago (Capt) he wanted to leave to his former airline after just over a year. He came type rated so bond was not an issue. But when handing in his passport for clearance and removal of the Resident Permit (mandatory procedure) they the CID kept his passport on the grounds that his vehicle registration was involved in a hit and run accident. He was a straight up good citizen and his vehicle did not have a scratch. it seems that someone got the numbers on the number plate incorrect and he was force to stay in the country with no passport until the court date (3 months down the road). He used his head and got reinstated to the line as he was well liked, of course he required a passport to be a line pilot, when he received it he promptly jumped. So you see, anything can happen here mate, not just the airline problems you must face.
on that note. there is presently one of ours in jail for speaking against the company while on board. has been there for a while now with no real end in sight. Sh*t happens here. you just have to respect the fact your not in a normal country with the normal human rights. There is a zero tolerance with regards to company slander. it has serious implications and not taken lightly.

EPR SET
is that multiple exit visa a must to do when you join?
and can that be 'revoked' by the airline?
you get an Multi exit permit if you want one, Just apply and pay the fee. if not, you must apply every time you want to leave the country. Multi exit permits are only given to flight deck.

and YES the company can have the exit permit (Multi or otherwise) revoked. it only takes one phone call.
