They have been talking about this so mnay times and for so long... what is the hold up ? Just release the provisions of new law !!! My hopes are not that high either ... but very obvious reasons if Qatar wants to be a competitive market .. and a modern country respecting human rights then it needs to abolish NOC and exit permit system... NOC abolishment would mean that the best guys will be working for the best companies... which in turn will make companies want to tbe the best in their field... exit permit system has no purpose... it is a huge admin overhead .. also commonly used to play on employees nerves... that is about it... so hopefully new changes do address those issues and open up labour market for competition.. and let the best employers fight for best employees.. and best employees fight for best employers... let us all raise the bar in search of excellence
