Qatar could follow Bahrain in scrapping sponsorship system
Manama: Qatar could be the second country in the Arabian Gulf after Bahrain to move towards scrapping the sponsorship system, its prime minister has said.
"The option to scrap the sponsorship system in Qatar has been a subject of study for a long time, and there are reports now being prepared by the ministries of interior and labour and social development," Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Shaikh Hamad Bin Jasem Bin Jabr Al Thani said.
"An ad-hoc committee has been set up to look into this issue so that it agrees on a decision that does not harm foreign workers and our citizens in assuming their responsibilities towards the sponsorship system," Shaikh Hamad was quoted by a local Arabic newspaper as saying.
Shaikh Hamad said that there was a need for an in-depth study.

THat means after 7 years you will have to leave the country. Nothing can be done about it

Never understood why the government cannot sponsor.
Would be better if there was a simple formet of sponsorship/payment that would go to the government instead of a private party. Sponsorhship fees are just another way saying tax. fee should be small though.
