Guidelines of the General Directorate of Generate Security for the transferring of “sponsorships” for migrant workers

The General Directorate of general Security issued a statement last week indicating that citizens can apply for a “transfer of sponsorship of a migrant worker” through either one of the two following procedures.  The first procedure entails submitting a notarized waiver of sponsorship by the initial sponsor including a commitment from the new sponsor and bearing the signature of the migrant work approving his/her transfer to the new “sponsor”.  This should come into effect within 15 days otherwise the application becomes null and void.  The second procedure entails the completion of the “transfer of sponsorship” application at the offices of general security with the presence of the former and new “sponsor” as well as the migrant worker.  The initial sponsor will remain responsible for the migrant worker until the request is formally approved by General Security.  General Security has provided a deadline until 25/9/2013 for executing requests for sponsorship waiver for sponsorships that have been contracted before 25/7/2013.
