NOC Letter to Work in Another Company: A Sponsor Sample to Copy

This no objection letter from sponsor to work sample is for an employee in the UAE whose current sponsor agrees to them working for another company, full time after leaving or part time alongside the current job. Copy the wording into your own document. The sponsor signs it on letterhead with the company stamp.

We draft the letter, check it and, if the receiving office wants a notary, have it signed before our in-house notary public. We have in-house, in person notary public services, online notary public services and home visit private notary services. For a family sponsor, such as a husband sponsoring his wife, use the NOC letter from husband to wife.

Three ways to get it notarised

In person with our in-house notary public

Come to our office. The notary public checks the signatory's original ID, reads the letter, watches them sign and applies the seal. Many sponsor NOCs need no notary, so ask the receiving office first.

Home or office visit

Our home visit private notary service comes to your workplace, home or hospital. The same checks happen there. Home visits are quoted on request. See mobile notary services.

Online notary public

For some documents the notary can work remotely through the official UAE channels. We tell you whether your letter suits an online session. See the e-notary guide.

Sample wording

No objection letter from sponsor to work sample word format

Copy the wording below into Word or any editor. Remove the part in square brackets that does not apply. If you need a NOC letter for a work permit in the UAE, check first whether the authority's system asks for its own form. If it does, use that form instead of this letter.

When the letter needs a notary

Most sponsor NOCs are accepted on letterhead with the stamp. A notary is involved when:

  • the new employer or a foreign embassy asks for the signature to be notarised,
  • the sponsor is an individual, not a company, and has no stamp,
  • the letter is going abroad and will need attestation after notarisation.

For a signature only, see witnessing of signatures. The notary checks the signatory's ID and confirms they are signing willingly (Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2022, Article 7). For a company signatory, the notary may also want to see that the person has authority to sign for the company.

Mistakes to avoid

Mistakes that get the letter sent back

  • The new company's name is abbreviated Use the full legal name from its trade licence.
  • No start date or role A letter that only says "no objection to working elsewhere" is often sent back.
  • Signed by a colleague without authority The signatory should be someone who can sign for the company.
  • Old letterhead Use the current company name and licence details.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Will every UAE employer accept this sample?

The core wording of a no objection letter to work in another company is much the same everywhere. Some employers and authorities add their own lines. Check whether the receiving office has its own form first.

Can I write the NOC myself and ask my employer to sign?

Yes. That is often the quickest route. Send HR the wording filled in, and ask them to print it on letterhead, sign and stamp it.

Does the NOC letter to work in another company have to be in Arabic?

Usually English is accepted by employers. An authority or a notary may need Arabic. We take care of the legal translation if one is needed.

What if my employer refuses to give an NOC?

We cannot sign for an employer. The rules on changing jobs without an NOC depend on your contract and the labour regulations that apply to you.
