New News for NOC
Yesterday a friend of mine was telling me that the new "rule" states that If you are not hired directly by a company (if hired through husband/father sponsorship) You are entitled for NOC if you think of leaving the job ONLY after a year of employment with that company. If the company refuses to give NOC they can be fined up to QR.45,000 plus asked to grant NOC if you file a complaint against them in the labor department.
Also for wives to change from company to husband's sponsorship she must have had worked with the company for a min.of a year. Before it was two years.
Anyone can confirm this new "rule"??
rehmet unfortunately without your Husband's NOC you cant change sponsorship. Unless you exit the country and come back under your company's visa, in such a case there is no 2 year ban for you just leave and come back.
working in an govt organisation under spouses sponsorship . Spouse may leave the country wants to mess up my things. I want sponsorship change to my company , which is willing, but spouse not willing . What to do in these circumstances.Any sensible advice welcome. Thanks in advance.
Yes it's true. But only applicable for ladies who's visas transfered from Husband/father sponsorship to a company sponsored visa. the fine is exagerated. labour dept can only assist them on this.
And for all other NOCs, it can only be granted by immigration if you've worked by the company or from an individual for at least 1 year from date of transfer or visa issuance. and this rule is applicable to all visa transfer. but you still require approval from the sponsor of course.
hope this news is true & gets implemented very soon...
Ya tinker...I think its exactly like that..
Flexi its possible, but i'm not sure on that...just like every other rule, its mere speculation on our part, but my friend said he knows someone who went to labor department and got the NOC under the above mentioned circumstance.
The big question is....where is the rule book everyone is talking about.
Smoke >> I've been lissenin to this from quite sm time,lets say 2-3 yrs...but 45000,not d exact amount...n in such cases better not to trust comments from normal people..Instead,i can suggest Mr.Nisar Kochery, who is a well known "labour law" related law advisor and the one who attends to legal queries in Gulf Times,Doha Edition.
I hope the below link mebbe useful for you.

smokey! Then the same rule should be applied to someone who has been hired by a company locally through an NOC from the candidates previous company? or not?
Exactly Abble! thats what i meant. Shukran Tinker :)
He probably meant, if you were on "family visit visa" under father or husband sponsorship then hired by a certain company and transfered your sponsorship to that company to switch to work visa.
I also never said anything about wanting to charge the company 45000 riyals, it clearly mentions they will be FINED that amount by the labor department.
LP you are right my English writing skills needs improvement. What i meant to say was if you are hired by a company THROUGH husband/father sponsorship meaning if company hired a lady who was here on Visit visa (she is on husband's sponsorship then) and is now on Company Work visa she can leave the company after a year and cannot be denied a NOC.
On the other hand if a company has not hired you directly from your homeland, me for example have shifted from my dad's sponsorship to my company sponsorship, I can also be given an NOC under the new "RULE"
Just want to know how much truth there is in this.
LmaO LP !
It makes no sense what you've said. If you are hired by a company and you are under father's/husband's sponsorship, then your father or husband must give you NOC. Do you want to charge them 45.000 Riyals?
