Worker should leave the country
worker should leave the country for six months before re-applying for a visa
Earlier, the employers used to recruit workers on a fixed period of contract, generally for two years, and thereafter, the contract could be renewed as per mutual consent. But, the employers felt that this didn’t work to their advantage, as the employee would later move on when a competitor offers new contract.
Therefore, today contracts are open-ended, and have few clauses to protect employer, such as the six-month ban period prior to granting new work visa for a particular worker. This implies that the worker should leave the country for six months before re-applying for a visa.
But, there are ways to get around with this too. An employee can transfer to a new employer, if his original sponsor provides him with a no-objection certificate. But, the change may not be very simple. The employee should be prepared to face several checks. Further, to gain full support of new employer, it is best to leave the country and return as per the new agreement.
Before signing the contract, read the document carefully and check if details pertaining to salary, accommodation, education, medical benefits, length of vacation and air-tickets are as discussed. Else, once you sign the contract, it is difficult to negotiate on something new. But, once it is mentioned in the contract, the Qatar law ensures that the employer fulfils his obligations in the contract.

Question asked by Agnieszka need to adress by some one or auther.
PER ARTICLE MENTIONED ABOVE, THERE ARE A FEW POINTS NOT CLEAR TO MY VIEW AS A VIEWER.
1. "worker should leave the country for six months before re-applying for a visa" apply in which case? with or without sponsorship?
2. As rule right now, if you got cancel visa from sponsor, you can not come back and work in this country for a length of 2 years, without NOC.
3. If you quit a job and Obtain the NOC from sponsor, then immediately you can change sponsor to new company. As long as the company has visa approval for you.
THEN IN WHICH CASE THIS ARTICLE APPLY ON? CAN YOU CLEAR MORE THIS POINT FOR ME?
