Can anyone tell me, if there's any changes for applying visa? Is it hard or harder? Thanks :)

And is it true that if cancelled by the previous sponsor, can still come back after a month?

Article 57 of Labor Law of Qatar.

Upon termination of the service of the worker the employer shall at his cost return him to the

place from where he has recruited him at the commencement of the engagement or to any place

agreed upon between the parties.

The employer shall complete the proceedings of returning the non-Qatari worker within a period

not exceeding two weeks from the expiry date of the contract. If the worker joins another

employer before his departure from the State the obligation to return him to his country or other

place shifts to the latter employer.

"this is a good basis for argument specially if you are locally hired"

there is a committee on immigration issues n they might be reconsidering those NOC rules but this will take around a year I guess to set the new rules

for now U need NOC n it is ur sponsor's right to give u one or decline ur request

if u dont have NOC u will have to stay for a minimal of 2 yrs outside Qatar

Sorry man, You cannot demand but can request as it is upto your Sponsor to give or not to give.

Sorry to say that there is nowhere in the law anything stating that the employee can demand a NOC after a certain period of time.

It is still the sole decision of the employer whether to issue or not to issue a NOC (either local hire or expat, at any time of the employment)

Regards!!

Then I really have no chance of escaping this curse :(

But I hope this is true that after the 2 years completion of signed contract for local hire, can demand a NOC from the company? Or its still depends on the sponsor?

Who told you all these stories? There are no changes and it will be in the front pages of all Newspapers if some changes takes place.

It is true that the Ministry can override the sponsorship rule!
