Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) is currently exploring the feasibility of enabling expatriate workers residency transfer from one employer to another without requiring the original employer’s approval in certain cases, reports Al-Jarida daily.

According to Al-Jarida report, in case the original sponsors has violated the terms and conditions specified in the employment contract or any provisions of Law No. (6/2010) concerning work in the private sector, PAM may allow the employee to transfer his residency to another sponsor without the original sponsor approval.

Dr. Fahd Murad, the Acting Deputy Director for the Protection Sector Affairs at PAM said that the authority is meticulously studying a set of procedures aimed at facilitating this.
