accha: isn't the company required by law now to issue the noc if the employee has completed a year and is on an open contract? i don't know, i'm asking you...i feel if he went to the right labour dept, they'd help him get the noc from the current employer...and if he's leaving the job officially, leaving their sponsorship and exiting qatar, then they would surely have to cancel his rp right? let me know pls...
