Since I arrived at Qatar, there has been rumors that there will be change of the sponsorship system. On and off people will talk about it on local forum and it always end up being rumors as nothing has changed.
Pass 1 year, Qatar has been under the spotlight on their treatment of laborers and many international human rights group has been pressuring the government to change the Kafala system.
Recent local newspaper headline has been indicating that the Qatari government are taking measure to change to Kafala system in order to meet the international labor law. This time it isn't a rumor anymore as there are many indication that this will happen but still the residents have no details about what are the changes.
Some indication or suspecting changes of law are there no longer will be exit permit and NOC where residents (non-Qatari) are allow to leave the country or change job as they please. But I am sure there will be some new law will be introduce to protect the employers.
All this is a good sign, and I only hope the resident do not abuse the new system and with this new system they will be much happier and committed to help Qatar to achieve their goal.
That's all for now. 'yallah...
