Changing sponsors

Someone told me that Qatar was going to ease it's strict law/rule about changing employers/sponsors.

Has this law been amended/changed or eased?
How many years with your present employer/sponsor before you can say ciao and still stay in Qatar?

The catch is the NOC. Most local companies do not give it.

As to what I understand, you need to finish your initial term of contract before you can apply for a change of sponsor.

The HR and PRO people at my company (and they are very good) tell me that it is 1 year before you can change sponsors. Even then, you still need a NOC (no objection certificate). My company has a policy of goving NOCs to people who leave but not all companies will do this.
