Even after the deadline, not yet any confirmation or >>any affirmative explanation on this issue received from the Ministry of >>labour. On the contrary, on June 2011, Deputy Minister of Developmental >>Affaires (Ministry of Labour) explained that, Ministry would allow transfer >>of ownership from red categories to Green categories only after protection of >>the existing sponsor’s rights. This created sadness and clouds on the hopes >>of many expatriates. >>Earlier, as per the normal procedure, an expatriate had to complete 2 years >>with a sponsor to make him eligible to transfer his sponsorship to another. >>Apart from that he had to submit No Objection certificate (NOC) from the >>existing sponsor. As per the Nitaqat program, the employees in the Red >>category can transfer their sponsorship to ‘Green’ and ‘Excellent‘categories >>without NOC from the previous sponsor. >>But the implementation of this rule is still uncertain.
