I am working with my current employer for the past 3 years, and now my contract with them will finish on next month.i got a better job in another company with great salary,But they don't have any present visa for the post i suggested for.I think my current employer will not allow me to transfer my iquama to there or they will ask for a huge amount of money for transfer.How i can legally transfer my iquama with out the permission from current employer?Am i eligible to get a exit after my agreement? I paid a large amount of money previously to transfer to the current company.Please help me in this situation.


In this case you can ask for a release but its up to them to release and might ask for money. If you pay and get release you can transfer if not will have to go on exit. this is the only legal way. you are eligible to get final exit after the agreement duration.
