- Now the question is, will companies bear this huge fee for an expat? Big companies may manage to pay, but what about the small companies? Therefore, we suggest that you think wisely and prioritize your safety. Be prepared to go to your home country any time instead of being suddenly shocked. Insha'Allah, we hope and pray that the day when companies pressure us to leave will not come in our lives. Hot: Convert Arabic date to English date
