Draft of New Sponsorship System
from The Peninsula
DOHA • The exit permit system is all set to be removed under a new sponsorship regime, suggests the draft of the proposed legislation which was published by a local Arabic daily here yesterday. And working resident women may be allowed to sponsor their husbands and children provided they fulfill the eligibility criteria.
The draft makes it illegal for sponsors to retain the passports of their foreign workers after completing the visa formalities (renewal or fresh issuance) unless it is mutually agreed between the two parties that their passports or travel documents are to be deposited with their employers.
