Is the 2-year ban still implemented?

I worked for a private firm from march 2006 - march 2010. I am currently in the UAE. My present employer is asking asking me to visit one of our client based in Doha. Will I be able to secure a business visa?

The designation on my UAE visa is an Assistant Engineer. Will that be a problem with the immigration? Yes, i resigned from my employer on a nice and professional manner.

First, the 2-year ban is still in effect. One cannot be employed by another company if the person can not get NOC from his/her employer. One would have to wait two years to be "employable" again. That person can still enter on visit visas or perhaps even business visas, unless he absconded from his previous employer.

You don't have to worry if you left or resigned from your previous employer in Qatar properly.

Ban is for employment visa and not for business/visit visa. If you have a proper designation in UAE visa, you can get visa on arrival.

Don't think a business visa should be a problem.
