- If the employment contract is limited and is still valid, it is necessary to obtain a non-objection certificate in order to transfer the sponsorship.

- If the contract of employment is unlimited and the worker has not completed five years, he must obtain a non-objection certificate from the employer to transfer the sponsorship.

If the contract of employment is unlimited and the worker has completed 5 years of working, the employee shall be entitled to transfer the sponsorship without the consent of the employer.

If the employment relationship is terminated and the employer has not cancelled the visa, the worker can file a complaint at the Ministry of Labor, the General Administration of Passports and the Human Rights Department at the Ministry of Interior.
