In 2015, Qatar issued law No.21 that regulates the entry, exit, and residency regulations for Qatari and expatriate employees.
This law came into effect on 13 December 2016, according to the explanation of this law it provides workers with the below:
1- Ability to switch between jobs at any time.
2- End of a two-year ban on working in Qatar.
Besides, an amendment was made to this law in September 2020 that the employee no longer needs NOC from the current employer/sponsor to switch jobs even if their labor contract is still valid.
These changes attracted hundreds of thousands of expatriates requesting Changing Sponsorship in Qatar.
As a result, the number of complaints regarding labor rights increased related to:
- Employer is not paying or delaying the salary.
- Employee termination for no reason.
- the current employer is not releasing you to join a new employer.
- Employee not receiving leave pay.
