NOC has different type, and there is NOC in almost anything. If you have NOC TO TRANSFER SPONSORSHIP, you need not worry coz all you have to do is find a suitable company, get a release paper from your old company (typed in Arabic), have them stamp it, then have the new company put their stamp, plus the NOC TO TRANSFER SPONSORSHIP, which will be used by immigration to verify the release. If you have NOC to WORK IN ANOTHER COMPANY, the VISA is still under your current sponsor. If they cancelled it, just like what happened to you, then the NOC is useless. you can come by VISIT VISA but you cannot work because the immigration will have to ask you to present a NOC TO TRANSFER SPONSOR for you to have an new Working Visa. There is NOC to apply for Driving License, NOC to apply for Bank loan. Be specific with the NOC coz there's a lot.
