Dubai: Domestic helpers who wish to change their jobs will face no ban if they obtain a no objection certificate (NOC) from the original sponsor, officials have said.
Officials from naturalisation and residency departments said yesterday this decision came into effect about three months ago.
According to the new regulation, domestic helpers, including housemaids, can transfer sponsorship if they obtain an NOC from the original sponsor even if they have come on an employment visa and the residence visa has not been stamped on their passports.
An official said: "The maid may have had a contract for two years, but worked only one day with the original sponsor. If she wants to change her job, she can with the NOC."
