Re ModernSlave's problem and thousands like that, would it not be prudent to ask the Immigration department for clarification of this issue?

baldrick, you say they should issue the NOC for free, but there's nothing that would force them to, they can just send her back home.

They are trying to recover the costs of bringing you here.

Employer 1 could easily not issue an NOC (It's their right according to the law of the land), it doesn't benefit them in any way, cost recovery is a valid business decision.

Maybe you could negotiate with your new employer to contact the old one and pay those costs:

Employer 1 spent x QR to get you here and issue a visa.

Employer 2 wants you.

If employer 2 got you from your country, they would have paid the same x QR.

I also agree with Baldrick - as you are being made redundant due to the recession, you should not have to pay anything for it.

If they are releasing you for the reason they state they should issue the NOC for free. If however you are breaking your contract without completing the first year then you would have to repatriate yourself at your own cost. If they are then doing this as a 'favour' so you can stay here and look for another job I'd try and negotiate!

Did you Google it first?

Just tell them to show you the company rule or policy that says it has a cost.

Regards!!

Best of Luck!!

Bro, NOC is subjective but it is FREE. I think that they want to recover their "overhead cost".

I think someone is trying to get money out of you for their own personal use...I'm with Da...never heard of that one before...

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
