So the answer is i have to have my RP passing 1 year with my employer in order to be able to transfer to a new sponsor.

But I left out something, there is a way to transfer your sponsorship. As a matter of fact, they are in the process of doing it as we speak.

This is the expected answer. However, this is really annoying. I thought there might be another way to do it.

If your RP with your current employer is less than a year, the competent ministry will not be able to transfer your sponsorship to your new employer. Similar thing happened to a colleague of mine, government did not transfer the sponsorship even the previous employer provided the NOC. They would have to wait until the employee completes at least a year of sponsorship before it can be transfered to another.

The question is: Can I change my sponsorship to a new employer if I have a NOC and release form signed from previous employer.NOTE: i am only 9 months with previous employer and i am still in Qatar

Leaving Jobs: As before, workers leaving their jobs without an NOC will have to wait for two years. A period of five years had been under discussion, but was not excecuted. Those with an NOC (No Objection Certifcate) from their employer will be able to continue working in Qatar.
