If you have finished your 2 year contract, or served 5 years in an open ended contract, you can only change to a new sponsor after getting Ministry Approval.

Even with NOC the Ministry will need to approval sponsor changes.

The law still not mention the prevailing 2 year ban on a worker who leaves the country after resigning his job. Well I guess still the same. This is not good for those worker who have unlimited contract/open ended contract with duration of 5 years.

you can transfer within no time if the contract term is completed, because after that you DON'T need any sponsors approval except the immigration department.

You can refuse the "offer" of five years and offer one year from your side. If they need you they will agree.

Brity, I thought it would be 5 years, but then I still need the Recruiter's approval and Ministry of Interior and MOLSA. Before anything happens, what if one of them rejects! Monkey has to go back to the city jungle!
