I am currently resigned at my 2nd company last month. I tried to follow-up my NOC to my Managing Director (Non-Qatari) who lives outside Qatar.

To let you know, their company actually has some issues. One, the main sponsor was dead and someone might have turned-over. Two, their CR was expired and might havent renewed since one month. So, the Non-Qatari MD asked me to go to Ministry of Labor to ask for compulsory NOC for me to move on. Also The MD ask me to speak to their representative Qatari sponsor (a relative to the dead sponsor) my benefits also because I am now joining my 3rd company.

Hi everyone, if anyone can help about below my situation, I will be thankful.

I came in Qatar 2013 and work for one company 1,5 years. Then I got NOC and chance my job in 2015. Now with my new job I am not satisfied and I would like to look for another opportunity. I am still in probaton period. My question is if I can get NOC again ( I believe I can get it). Can I transfer to any company. What I heard is I should stay at least a year with 1 employer. They told me that I can not transfer NOC 2 times in 1 year. If anyone can help me regarding this issue, I will appreciate it.

Thanks

I believe that even though the Country law supersede the contract, but the employers never honour the contract and that is very bad,

Hello Mr. Hassan ,

Please advice me regarding my NOC because recently I joined a company here in Doha using my NOC that was given to me by my previous employer, now during the probationary period of my new employer I was terminated without taking the medical and finger printing will i need an NOC from this company in order for me to apply for a new visa or will I contact my previous employer to supply me a new NOC?

Dear Mr. Hassan, I just want to ask regarding my situation right now. I came in Qatar last 2008 then I worked one of the company here but unfortunately after 4 years they closed. But were so thankful that they gave us NOC that’s the reason why I’m still here in Qatar and working one of the company here in Industrial area. Now I finished already my 2 years contract here in this company and as a local hired and have NOC before from my previous company I wrote a letter asking them a released so that I can apply another job but they refused even though I’m local hired. Is it true that if you have NOC from your Company before you can transfer up to 3 times? What should I do if I pursued my planned to get NOC from them? To Whom I can ask help? Do I have right to request them my released? Thank you so much and hoping you can help me.

Hi Angelique12, the visa expiry date is mentioned on the visa in your passport if you have Iqama then it's also mentioned on your ID. If you wanna change your job you need to ask your employer about the NOC procedures and availability

Exit permit is not related to NOC. it's currently issued by the employer to allow the employee to travel outside Qatar, but it's some thing separate from NOC.

NOC is only needed when you want to change your job
