Default Way Out

Hello
I have signed a letter of intent with a Qatari company, however I have just realized that I do not want to move there due to the labour law disadvantages. I am still in Europe and still did not get a visa, how can I cancel the contract? What could they do? Thank you

Tell them you have changed your mind and that you are not coming. There is nothing they can do in reality although threats may be made depending on how they take the news. Since there is no visa they can't even ban you (not that a ban would be a problem for you regardless).

As Norsk says. In addition most Letters of Intent aren't binding, but the main thing is provided you don't have any assets or bodily parts there, there's bugger-all they can do.

No I have no assets or anything there, so they cannot report me to the interpol or so? or send a lawyer letter to here or my current employer? I even did not send my passport photo, certificates, medical test .. etc

Interpol will fly you to Qatar and you will be judged under the Sharia law.

Never ever travel over Gulf airspace again. It's just not worth the risk.

I think that is a bit over the top for what we are discussing. I appreciate we are talking about Qatar but still..

In my opinion they cant do anything. Its not uncommon for people to change their minds. The worst thing is that you have probably blown your chances for any future opportunities with the same company.
