HI!guys I'am confused regarding the length of stays needed in order to get NOC to the current sponsor. Some says we need to stay 2 yrs, some says 1 yr and i read recently here in qatar living forum that no. of days is not an issue as long as the current sponsor is willing to provide the NOC.What is the correct answer. Pls. advice...This coming April I will be 1 yr here in qatar and since my contract is indefinite I plan to seek a new opportunities.Thanking you guys in advance and your answers/comments is highly appreciated.

Your company can give you NOC anytime (if they want to) but you can only transfer your sponsorship after one year stay with your current sponsor.

azilana is right...you need a minimum of 1 year stay before you can be given NOC, and there is a big "IF", that is, IF your sponsor will give you one.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

that you need to stay with your employer/sponsor so you could get an NOC. However, it really depends if your company will allow you to transfer or they really issue an NOC. Bcoz some companies will not issue an NOC and instead cancell the visa.
