As per the latest rule, employment visa transfer has been stopped. If the employee resigns before the completion of two years, a six-month ban shall be compulsory. But the same may

 be lifted without any charges or NOC from the employer if the employee managed to get a new job opportunity, taking into account that the salary of such worker with the new company

  shall be in accordance with the skill level specified by the Ministry of Labour:

1- First skill level: which means that if the employee is having university degree and above, his salary with the new company shall not be less than Dh 12,000.

3- Third skill level: if the employee is having high school degree, his salary with the new company shall not be less than Dh5,000.

If these three skills have not been met by the employee, he may not lift the ban and he shall wait until the completion of the ban period and then he may work with a new sponsor, moreover,

the NOC from the earlier sponsor has no effect based on the Ministry of Labour’s new decisions.

 

Above mentioned salary can be in total. It is not necessary to put as basic salary. New profession must be compatible with educational certificate. For secondary certificate holder, the new profession

 code shall end with 0000003.
