How can I change the sponsor of my choice?

Hi All,

I have been working with a company for five years. Recently we (150 emp) got letters of entrenchment stating that our current company does not have any more job in our discipline.

Two days back we heard that another company is in the process of changing all of our sponsorship to them. For that they have paid certain amount of money to our current sponsor.

Now our current sponsor wants us to change our sponsorship to the one who paid money or else go back home.

Do we have any choice to find our own choice of sponsor?

If you sponsor told you that then you dont have any choice you must join this company cause he will not give the NOC so you can join another company..

Good Luck

If the other company has already taken over your visas then I would say you are entitled to report to them.

If you want to change sponsorship remember that there is a rule that states that you must complete 1-2 years with current employer befora changing (in this case you have a new employer)

If you want to go on your own to find a new sponsor remember you will need a NOC from current employer (the new company) and there is nothing in the law "addressing" the employer to release a NOC.

By the way do a search by the topic "Changing sponsor" and you will find lot's of dicsussion on this.

Regards!!
