Switching from a Business VISA

Dear All,

Kindly suggest me on this below situation.

Currently I am working for Qatar Company on Business-work visa. I have received another offer from different company here in Qatar.

In order to process the work permit, they are saying we need NOC from your current company. I clearly told them that,'I am on Business Visa and don't have a residence permit here' but still they are asking for the NOC.

Is really NOC required to switch a company for which I am on Business Visa.

Thanks all for your understanding and kindly clarify me.

Thanks

I am ready to quit this current one, but the new employer is need to apply the work visa right.?

until they apply it, I can't quit this current job (on business visa).

Not sure, how to overcome this.

Thanks

Dear Friend, Greetings.. I also had the same situation. I done the immediate exit on the business visa and after a month I done entry with new work visa. If still they need NOC, u can contact labor welfare cell by ministry , show your previous contract and visa status and get the letter form there. Your old company will not provide the NOC since you are had been here on business work visa.
