How long shoud we work for the current employer to change sponsorship.
Guys,
A friend of mine is working in Qatar for 1.5 yrs. His current company has no more job for him and willing to change his sponsorship. A new sponsor is ready to take him in. Is there any particular rule that he must have completed 2 years with his current employer before he jumps into new?
Please help.
After 6 months in the same company he can transfer.
All he need the NOC letter then hes free to go..
Good Luck
I was told (by company) the requirement is 24 months, unless we submitted a secondee visa request (to his current company) on the individual for 6 months, which would then bring him up to the required 24 months to fully transfer over to us.
Of course! it is for my friend. I have been working here for five years so my case is differnt. We both are getting Sponsor change together but his service in Qatar is less than two years. That is why I asked u guys, if anyone gone through this......
Did you really asked this query for your friend or for yourself ? lol.zz
Thanks all of you for prompt response. Appreciate all the answers. It really makes his life easier.
Doesn't matter how long he works here as long as he has NOC from his Company he can move to other company
The rule stipulates 1 year with a sponsor before sponsorship can be changed. So your friend is fine.
As far as I know, there is no such rule. You need to get NOC from your current employer for changing sponsorship. However, sometimes due to some govt restrictions, immigration does not entertain change of sponsorship but this is random and cannot be predicted.
