Sponsorship Change
By poor_accountant •
I completed 2 years with my 1st sponsor and changed to 2nd sponsor recently. I am not happy with 2nd sponsor (company) and I want to change to another sponsor.
01. Can my present sponsor stop me? Can he cancel my visa if I don't want him to cancel it?
02. Is there any job categories (professionals) whose visas cannot be cancelled by sponsors. Qalified Accountants are also included in that? I have heard sponsors cannot cancel Visas of Doctors, Engineers if they want to change sponsors.
Please reply.

Yes and Yes

No.
All working visas has sponsors.
The only way to transfer to another sponsor is when your present one has NO OBJECTION in doing so. Otherwise, you have to resign and go home and wait for another 2 yrs.
Sponsors has the write to cancel working visas under his name OR company if their is valid reason, regardless of your profession.
Hope this will help.
First of all you should have studied well before changing to the second sponsor. I dont think you will be able to change the sponsor immediately. There are no such laws in Qatar that a Sponsor will not be able to cancel the visa of an Accountant. There are some time frame for changing sponsorship and you should get an NOC from the present sponsor.
