Leaving the country on probation

Emerald2000, if you give the name of the employer you're more likely to find out how easily they give multi-exit visas. Not because everyone knows, but there may be a poster here who already works for them. It isn't correct that the geographical location is relevant to whether you get it, it's more up to the individual employer and the HR people there.

Your probation is a separate issue to when you get your all-too-important iqama (and can then apply for an exit visa). i.e. you can get an iqama before finishing your probation, or vice versa.

If you have a look at a few threads about visas you'll see the practice isn't uniform or consistent! Just go with the flow.
