INFO - VISA - BAN
Dear all QL friends,
Potential job seekers need to be aware that as per the Qatari Labour Law, the employer’s permission (an Exit Permit) is required to leave Qatar. As per the Qatar sponsorship laws, an employee intending to change from one sponsor to another should obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC). The employees should note that the sponsor is not obliged to give an NOC. But, without an NOC, the employee will have to face a two-year ban and will not be able to return to Qatar during the two-year ban.
However, there are talks currently, about the two-year ban period being changed to six months this year. Further, it is likely that the Qatar sponsorship situation owing to 2022 World Cup is likely to bring in some major changes to the ban period.
Qatar Living has been here for years now and you are not the first who posted this information :D
You should have known this before you signed on the dotted line.
Wow! I never knew that!
Blueagle - you could have used the search box first as this subject comes up every second day.
BTW, here's an idea - try to find a decent job in the first place instead of just accepting the first shyte offer that comes along, then b1tching about how crap it is.
Now we all know about these rules. Nothing new at all
What's new? It's been going on since ages.
