Whats the difference between NOC and RELEASE
By patience2012 •
i just want to ask whats the difference between requesting for an NOC and RELEASE. I was given an offer letter where I'm applying for and they are asking me if my company will give me NOC.whats the difference from RELEASE.please advise.
where can I find ticket bookings to bahrain? cause some agency dont want to give me a ticket unless I buy a visa to them, cause my visa is now expiring so i need to exit so that my employer can give me a working visa.
Yes, you can take a hop to Bahrain or Dubai and return to Qatar.
flexicode is it also possible to exit in dubai or bharain to get my new visa?
thanks flexicode for the very helpfull information.My visa is just renewed meaning if my old cmpny gave me NOC i can still work normal in my new company with my old visa and can transfer it before it expires or once they issue me NOC i should go exit directly or i can wait and used it until im ready to go exit.
Here is the basic difference...
An NOC: The NOC giving employer has no objection on your immediate employment within the country however he will not let go the visa with you. Your new employer has to provide you a valid visa to employ you. You'll have to take an exit from the country and return on the new visa. Finger print, medical etc. will follow as if you are a new entrant to Qatar.
A Release: The releasing employer will let you go out to work along with the visa that he obtained in your name. Your new employer does not have to get a visa issued in your name since the same visa can be transferred to the new employer as your new sponsor. You don't need to take an exit. As a convention you also enjoy the right to ask for your visa when you resign or the company wants to terminate your employment for any reason.
