Flyfor,
Exit permit is for everybody..regardless of your passeport.
We ,pilots, have the ""privilege""
of being allowed to apply for a multi exit permit(valid one year, 500qr
,unlimited number of exit), but can be blocked anytime if you mess around here in Doha.
The funny thing is that if you resign, you will have to pay to cancel your multi exit permit as well!
Another option is to apply for a single exit permit( free),every time you want to leave.( valid for one exit only).
Note: only you, do need an exit permit (single or multi),your family doesn't.
And if you resign( are terminated), yes make sure you clear all your debts,loans,credits..otherwise you won't be able to leave,and you will be stuck here without job/revenue...till you clear all your mess.
