This 6 month ban gossip has been all around since I came here last 2001. I had 3 employers with 1 NOC from them and the other I had served the 2 year ban. I doubt it if the 6 months ban will be pushed through by the Qatar government. Lately, I've heard that the 2 year ban was increased to 5 years. It's just a hearsay though but I might believe they would increase the ban from 2 years to 5 years rather than reducing it to 6 months. I'll take the increase from experience where the driving fines were enormously increased lately and is now in implementation.

Well, I just respect the Qatar government. It's better than none.
