I need to know if it is possible to change sponsors after 12 months with my existing company. I have been told this is possible as long as you get an NOC, can anyone confirm or otherwise??

I now have the official word that indeed you can change sponsors as long as you get an NOC from your current sponsor. In fact, I am reliably informed you don't even have to wait for 12 or 24 months. However, if your current sponsor declines then you will have to leave the country for at least 2 years...

Dudes,

I have a job offer from medical company here in Doha but according to the HR personnel the can't transfer my sponsorship to them unless I rich 1 year from my current sponsor (My current sponsor will provide NOC). As per advice I will cancel my current sponsor and they will process their own visa for me which I believe a high risk to my part that I will ban for 2 years here in Doha. Any comments or suggestions pls....
