Resignation in qatar.

but i already exited the company and my visa now is working visa under the company's name. is it okay to resign?

okay. thank you for the comments. :)

@Bern, If you've not gone for Finger print,no issues you can resign and join another company before the New Law come into effect,but in this case you MUST exit the country by your own expense, and come back with a new Visa.All the Best...easy come easy go...i would.say..

Thanks britexpat. actually this company just started 2 years ago. maybe that's why the time is like this. maybe i'll just talk to our boss regarding on the time. because time must be up to 5 pm and we go home by 7. by that time i could have washed my clothes, clean the house, jogging or do something instead of just being here in the office. thanks for the advice. i'll try talking to a person in human rights maybe. thanks again

bern: I am sorry. I was being sarcastic in response to MM's comment.

I believe that your contract is against the labour law. I would suggest contacting the Human Rights Commission and asking for their help.

Good luck!

Yes, bern. You are caught up in what the UN calls "Modern Slavery."

so it means if i resign earlier than 5 years i would still be needing his noc am i right?

You can change the sponsor without NOC after five years being with him according to the "New Law". That's correct.

Britexpat. It states at the contract that if i get terminated or if i resign, i agree to pay all the expenses that company payed for me. the one thing that company paid for me is my visa. i'm the one who paid for the ticket for my exit in sharjah. they haven't payed the medical cause it's not yet done. im sorry for the trouble im causing you guys. it's just that the time of work in my job is really unfair and it makes me irritated.

Wild turkey. Does that mean if i resign to this job without working for 5 years i still need an noc to transfer job?

Molten metal. I'm sorry if i offended you. my sponsor and I talked about it before i got into this job. first is in the contract. it said there that i need to work 8 hours a day. but here at the office i'm spending almost 11 hours a day. we dont have lunch break, we just eat our lunch here at the office table. then our daily time is 8 am to 5 pm. but most of the time we finish our work by 7 pm. is that even fair? NOTE: this OT's are not counted in the salary. In the interview he asked me if its fine to stay at the office until past 5. but i did not thought that past 5 would be 7 pm or 6:30 or 6 pm. it's unfair. and i find this job really not in my line of job. im planning to find another job. i still haven't done the medical though. i'm just having a hard time adjusting with him time schedule. it's too unfair. That's the main reason why i am planning to resign. i hope you understand me too.

But WT.. What about the poor employer who incurred costs bringing him over here and gave him a reason for existing...

According to the new "law" you can change a sponsor without his NOC after having completed five (!) years.

Better you continue for atleast one year so that your employment expenses are recovered by the poor sponsor .............

Bern, That's bad, you took up a job & now wants to run away so quickly, it is a huge loss for the sponsor, you spoiled a vacancy of an other candidate so conveniently ........... too bad ......... too bad ........

i read my contract again and it said that if the company terminates me or i resign, i need to pay the company expenses used to me such as visa, plane ticket, medical etc. then they will give me noc. will i have a problem with my visa with that then? i'm really not comfortable in this kind of job. i prefer working on restaurants or being a barista at coffee shop. :(

I don't think the new law applies here, because you would still be breaking a contract. Also, whilst the NOC is no longer required, I believe that permission must be sought from a committee.

Perhaps an expert on the matter can answer your query to the full

Hi britexpat,

What if i wait for the new law on december 13 then i resign would that be possible? cause in that law it states that there would be no need of NOC if i transfer to another job. will i have a problem with my visa if that happens?

Thanks a lot for the answer. Much appreciated.

rajibindia: There is not set time. It all depends on the number of candidates and the availability of managers HR to make decisions. I would suggest that you drop a line to HR and ask for feedback. Do not resign your current role until you have the visa. Good luck

Hi britexpat....

I belive you are the guy who can help me.

My site interview done on end of Sept'16, following by Medical and HR. But after that no news.

Can you tell me whats the next step and how can i know that i am selected.

Please help me.

You can resign within your probation period .. But you cannot come back for two years unless your company issues an NOC
