A reader in Abu Dhabi asks: I have worked for a security company since August 1997 in Abu Dhabi and have now got an offer in Dubai. I have submitted my resignation with a month's notice and requested a no objection certificate (NOC), which they rejected. In this case, can I get a new employment visa by paying fees without an NOC? I read in Gulf News that lifting of ban is not implemented in Abu Dhabi. Does this make a difference if my new employer applied for my new visa from Dubai and tried to lift the ban by paying the fees?
I would like to assure the questioner that he may initiate procedures to transfer sponsorship with his new employer, and there is no need for an NOC from the previous sponsor, after paying the required fees to the Ministry of Labour.
Such a procedure is applicable in Abu Dhabi also, especially since the questioner has been working more than three years for the employer.
