Can I work without NOC
Hi.
Please Clarify my doubts. I have been working here for last Four Years. Now I resigned and I'm in notice period. My current company not providing NOC to join new companies. And already my QID renewed for next one year. Now I got one job offer in supply company. They don't need NOC. Can I start work there. Without informing to my current company?
Is it Legal to work?
kindly plz clarify my doubts..
Or how can I get NOC? Can I request through CID or Labor
if anyone know these details plz drop your contact number in comment section. I will call you..
This is what the law says:" As per the entry, exit and residence law (Law No. 21 of 2015), an employee can change the job with the approval of the government, either after the expiry of their contract or after five years of service with the employer if the contract is of indefinite term. Now there is no requirement of a no-objection certificate from the previous employer for a former resident to take up a new job in Qatar. In case of cancellation of residency permit, the person will be able to return to Qatar to take up employment immediately after being granted a new visa. The said law abolished the two-year ban on expatriates who want to come back to the country on a new employment visa. An expatriate who has got a new contract to work in Qatar can come back even the next day.
In case of termination of the employment contract, the employee can have up to three months’ time as a grace period to find new employment by notifying the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs. When the worker has found a new job, he or she will be required to return to the Ministry and present the new employment contract. If the employee wishes to change the employment either before the expiry of their contract or before completion of five years of service, he or she shall be required to seek permission from their existing employer."
basil911: I believe you are wrong here. If a contract is an open one and his employer is not giving NOC, he cannot work at any other company without the employer's permission. If the contract is a fixed one which I doubt it is, the NOC is still required since he has not completed 5 years with the same employer.
I think it depends on the contract of your previous company if you have completed the required years on the contact it should be fine or if it is an open-end contract a minimum of 5 years is needed for you to be able to move jobs.
Unfortunately you need an NOC to work legally to be able to transfer your sponsorship. You cannot be sponsored by another company, then work for another company. Needs to be the same.
We need to be loyal with our sponsors as long as we are breathing ...... ...... You made 3 mistakes ....... ... ......
No, you cannot. It would be illegal if you do so. If your company finds out which they eventually will, they may file a case of "haroob" or absconder with the authorities against you. You will then get arrested and deported. As per your second query, no government agency will help you in getting NOC. It is the right of the employer to give you NOC or not. Possibly, you made a mistake in resigning. You should have completed another year before resigning. In that case you would not be needing NOC to make change of job.
