Dear QL Advisors,

Please help me to give some advise HOW OR WHAT TO DO to get NOC or RELEASE from my current sponsor.
I am sorry if my english grammar or spelling is wrong.

I am a LOCAL hire here in Doha. I was hired here last august 2009, then i recieve a TERMINATION LETTER from HR last week.They grounds me ABSENTISM. Almost 10 months i've working to them even they are not support me specialy transportation because i asign in RAS LAFFAN. Since i was started in this company i did not avail the benifits according to my contract agreement because i was living outside the company accomodation provided by the company.My manager and the management is agreed to live outside with my wife and my relatives. But the problem is they are not suppoort me during i'm working in ras laffan specially transportation from Doha to Ras laffan vise versa. Now i ask NOC to seek other company to fit my expences.But they refuse insted they want me to send in my country and cancel my visa.
What i do and how is possible to grant me NOC?
Last 2004 to 2007 im working here and my old RP number is same to use now.

I am very thank you all for the advise that you made in regards to my problem..I came back last two days ago here in Doha Qatar that i got NOC from my previous company in last minute before i exit. I'll do direct speak my CEO and luck he give me NOC.But they are already cancel my visa so i force to leave qatar and comeback in a new VISA.My coming sponsor is sending my working visa when i send to them the exit stamp in my passport from immigration in Qatar, so they are immediately apply a working visa for me. Please give me advise again if what is the requirements to proceed in RP issuance. Somebody advise me that i need the NBI clearance with Red Ribbon. It is true? I know that this requirements is needed for only transfer sponsor. But in my case my visa is fresh visa. Please advise me once more.

Thank you again and i very appreciate all your help and advise.

Please update things. We are hearing you. All of us are suffering with this type of slaver ism. Our company also refused the NOC. So we are waiting your solution...

I heard from another guy that if you start a business with a qatari, no one can cancel from this country. or purchase a property in qatar ( I mean in pearl qatar), no one can cancell you..

Drpost, its true. once the labor court send a summons to your employer they are required to present at court otherwise, they will be penalized and blocklisted. Go on with your plan, labor people are helpful.

Qatarisun,

How i can stay here to finish my 1 year, they cancel my visa and they want me to send in my country as soon as possible. Either they not grand me NOC even i request a hundred times? I dont want to make a move with the labour Department or Human rights. I want to move like a peace and nice step. Please advice what should i step to get NOC from sponsor?

By qatarisun• 8 Jun 2010 15:09
qatarisun

I don't understand what you are saying, but again:

since you are only 9-10 months under your current sponsorship, the government most likely won't grant you permission to transfer your sponsorship, regardless to having NOC or not. There are 2 requirements for transferring a sponsorship: completion of 1 year with the same sponsor + NOC letter from this sponsor.

Since you haven't completed 1 year, you have to either stay with the same Company and to wait till you complete 1 year, or to start working with the other Company and to ask your sponsor to wait till you complete 1 year of sponsorship with him, and then to transfer your sponsorship under your new company.

spl, your advice is illegal. He cannot be in qatar on visit visa and do some "other things to earn money". It is punishable.

By Apple• 8 Jun 2010 15:07

exactly!

I wonder how SPL will help you if CID unfortunatley catched you. Maybe he will use his brain that time :P

YAAAA....but u can do it nicely....You can take order from frinds and all...means regular vice..I know many of them want transportation for going to work, droping and picking childrens in schools..You can make such 3 or 4 customers. You will get a nice income from that..May b more than ur present salary...

I heard Qatar is going to make ban period is 6 months instead of 2 yr. Is it true?

By qatarisun• 8 Jun 2010 14:12
qatarisun

well, in case your visa is cancelled, it still won't make 1 year with the same sponsor. The best way is a secondment. But your sponsor has to agree with it. First you have to get a NOC from him, second he shouldn't mind to keep you under his sponsorship another 3-4 months upto completion of 1 year, and let you work for another compnay. Then you can transfer your sponsorship under another company.

By drpost• 8 Jun 2010 13:12
drpost

Qatarisun,

i understand what do you mean, if transfer of sposor is not possible i assume that NOC can make works for me even i exit here in Qatar, after a few months i can comeback instead of 2 years ban?

By qatarisun• 8 Jun 2010 08:58
qatarisun

s_isale, i assume, his sponsor is the Company.

NOC has nothing to do with the way the person is hired, whether locally or overseas.

If it was only about caring the expenses, all the sponsor could do is to deduct the expenses from the employee's salary.

Now, drpost, even if you got your NOC, you won't be able to transfer your sponsorship until AT LEAST 1 year with the same sponsor is completed . Sometimes authorities require more than 1 year.

You keep complaining they don't support you with the transport. I am sure within Ras Laffan they would take care about your transfer. But this was your choice to live out of Ras Laffan. I don't think this is a valid reason for quitting a job.

I always advise friends to fight for their rights so long they are within the proportion of the Law. But I do advise them too, to solve any problem in a nice, easy, possible way without involving the court unless it is necessary. The assurance of winning a case in the court against a company espcly on NOC matters is very slim.

If I were him, I will leave and seek NOC to return rather than to file case in the court. The most important thing for his company here is for him to exit so they can bring another visa in replaced of his slot. There maybe chances for him to obtained no objection to comeback without spending the 2yrs banned in his country, especially his wife and family are also here. I repeat, talk and explain nicely to your manager. Wish you goodluck!

If you granted a release and transfered your sponship to another company, They may not" be granted of another visa from the Immigration.I think this is the reason to refuse this type of applications..What to do? ... ............ fate....

By KHATTAK• 7 Jun 2010 15:55

Apple... If the Labor Office advise someone to go to the Labor Court...that means there is some room. Its always better to fight for your rights rather quitting.

in case of a local hire...you can have a release. as my information.

By Apple• 7 Jun 2010 15:48

Local hired or foreign hired, NOC is still on the discreet of your sponsor.

The Labor Office, will help you on benefits and salaries. But for NOC, they will tell you go to Human Rights and/or talk to your sponsor or go the court which probably takes a very loooong procedures without assurance to be granted of NOC.

By drpost• 7 Jun 2010 15:44

thanks for your advice.

I will visit to HUMAN RIGHTS AFTER THEN I WILL TRY ASK IN LABOR DEPARTMENT.

As per my knowledge, in case of a local hire...you can have a release/NOC. Just pay a visit to the Labor Office and get their opinion on this. I am sure, they would be of some help.

Try talking politely with your manager to grant you NOC to come back in few months within the 2 yrs banned period, after you exit and your visa is canceled.

Most company, doesn't give NOC, because even if they granted you a release and transfered your sponship to another company/sponsor, "they may or may not" be granted of another visa from the Immigration, in replaced of your slot. That's the sad parts, for that reason most company dont wants to give NOC to their employees but rather canceled their visa.

there's no big difference of locally hired and foreign hired regarding NOC.

By deepb• 7 Jun 2010 15:24

No Alumnar, sadly even though the company did not bear any expense to bring you over here, they still reserve the right to not give an NOC and send you back home.

No it isn't. Just that some employers 'oblige' you with an NOC if you are locally hired.

this is another form of modern slavery in this country the NOC!

Go to the Ministry of Labour and seek their advise..they may not be able to help but worth trying!

But i have a lot of times i will speak the HR to grant me NOC because i cant going back in my country and also my wife is here, she come here because she know that i can protect her while we live together. My manager he told me, he dont have any objection about my NOC, but the problem is the CEO of the company is refuse my request.

By anonymous• 7 Jun 2010 15:07

Since your current employment is only since last August,your current employer has all the right to deny you an NOC ( as is the case here with most of the employers).

The only chance you have is to argue with the employer on the grounds of you having come with a release. There is a remote chance that they might accomodate your request on humane grounds. Try and speak to your HR about your family prioroties and request for release. I dont see any other way out.

All the best!
