Please, someone who truly knows the answer: Do I really need a no objection letter?
I am buying a used car from a private individual for which I am paying cash. I have done a search and am not quite finding the information I am looking for. Do I need a letter of no objection to do the transfer? I need an answer from someone who really knows for sure, not someone who is just guessing.
I agree with leatherface...
The rules are like that... If u r sponsor is a company other than govt, you need NOC for buying car. (I submitted noc for my car )
For Buying any car you need NOC from your sponcer.
Leatherface, No i am not. Because i dont care where you working what you have done in your case. But if you are saying like this, i also have proove with me. One of my friend's sister who is working in one of private company and off course under its sponsorship. she got the car and changed the ownership of the car with out No objection letter. And this all process done by my self and her brother. First day we went and asked for the requirement and they said no need. And we have done this process in two days.
Yes its quite possible may be at the time ownership, they are looking to company's name. May be from some companys they need this.
Well Short & Simple ..
You need to have no objection letter from your sponsor if u want to buy a car. (New or Used one.)
100 % Valid information.
Leatherface, et al: I did ask my employer, and I still couldn't get a straight answer. I was happy to see the 1st response to my question then the waters got all muddied, again, with the 2nd response. C'mon, who knows for sure what the answer is?
LadyJane...you better check with your company's HR dept. who deal with Visa sponsorships. They'd give you accurate ideas about where they stand on this issue. Check with employees of your company...your colleagues!
If you are an expatriate in Qatar, wishing to own a LMV (car/SUV upto size of a small van) you would need a no-objection (aka arabic letter)letter addressed to the traffic department from your sponsor.
This is one of the documents that should be presented for transferring the ownership of the vehicle.
Nadarojan....you're wrong about what you saying. I had to present company letter both the times when i bought my first car in May 2008 and second car in December 2008. My visa is sponsored by Al Mana! My colleague who works for ASHGHAL (Public Works Authority) which is a semi-govt. firm didn't have to submit NOC.
You'd need an NOC (No objection certificate) if your company is not a government firm. Secondly, you would not need an NOC if you're here in Qatar on your husband's sponsorship. You'd need an NOC if your company sponsored your visa even if you're married and you stay with your husband in Qatar. Hope this helps!
No objection letter require only in that case, if you wish to buy the car on your's company name i-e if the company is going to give you cash to go and buy the car on your own choice but under company's name. But if you are buying car for your personal use, only for your home and for other transporations purpose, no need any kind of letters. Just go to traffic department with the owner of car, fill the form, submit your copy of I.D and Insurance.
