Hi all,
my question is, if a person on house driving / labour visa and working as in IT, can he surrender his iqama as voluntary to get the final exit.

thanks

Yes, i am afraid if your sponsor doesn't want you to leave the country then employer could ask you for all the expenses they've paid for your employment visa.

You can also go directly to the MOI and request for final exit might take a week or two if they've clearance from your employer.
