Pls help urgently

A company brought me to Qatar under its sponsorship, i worked with him for 1 yr 8 months, i got another job and he gave me NOC to the new company. I signed a 1 yr contract with this new company, after which the contract was again renewed for another 1 yr, now i am in the 9th month of the 2nd yr contract, i just got another job, my contract says i have to give 1 month notification which i am ready to do, my concern is, is this company obliged to give me NOC as per Qatar Law since i did not exit the country before trasnferring to them? If they refuse, is there anything i can do? Since they did not bring me to Qatar, do they have provision under the law to cancel my visa? pls someone should help me. Thanks

@mervinjeo-Thanks for the reply. If giving NOC is the sole discretion of the current employer, is he authorised (or can he)to cancel my visa since he only hired me locally and i had moved from my previous to them with NOC?

Second company is obliged to give u NOC , It's not written in the law but it's a practice of the market and is supervised by the labor bureau as well as the human rights committee ,so I recommend to approach your management and if u failed to obtain the NOC u can turn to the above mentioned authorities.

giving NOC is the discretion of the current employer.
