Dear Customer
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that

The Entry, Exit and Residence Law (Law No.21 of 2015) states that an employee can change his job with the approval of the government, either on expiry of their contract, or after five years of service with the employer, if the contract is of indefinite term or unlimited period.

At present, there is no need to obtain a NOC from the previous employer for a former resident to take up a new job in Qatar.

In the event of cancellation of visa or residency permit, the person can return to Qatar and take up employment immediately on being granted a new visa. The said law abolishes the two-year ban on expats who wish to get back to Qatar on a new employment visa. Therefore, an expat who has obtained a new contract to work in Qatar can even get back to Qatar the next day.

In case of termination of the employment contract, the employee is given up to three months’ time as a grace period to find new employment by notifying the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs.

If the worker finds a new job, he or she should return to the Ministry and present the new employment contract.

If the employee wishes to change the employment prior to expiry of their contract or before completion of five years of service, he or she should seek permission from existing employer.
