Before 1 year Sponsorship change
By riyazkannur •
Hi all,
I have worked in qatar for 5 years untill oct 2008 and i cancelled the resident visa ,again i come back in qatar 2009 march for a new company working till date.My question is can i able to change to another company without completing 1 year period ? Present company have no problem to issue an NOC.
Yes, you have to complete another 2 years to be able to transfer to another sponsorship.
If you really need to transfer again, have your current visa cancelled, go back to your origin country, have your new company apply new RP for you with the NOC and u can come under the sponsorship of the new company. RP applications are very fast now provided you have all the necessary documents. Sometimes when applied in the morning, in the afternoon it's ok already. So you can come back even the following day.
Even though your current employer provides NOC, Immigration authorities are rejecting the application. It has come to my notice few cases recently. Immigration is insisting at least 2 years completion of services with the first sponsor before changing to second.
