Fair challenge.

I did read the article and also this one:

Contracts may replace ‘sponsor’ system

Too many vested interests from local sponsors . It's rhetoric to appease the international masses .

Just start by reducing the 2 year automatic ban down to 6 months and abolish the exit visa rule , that alone will free up movement of labour and allow expertise to be moved around more efficiently .

The sponsorship system and exit visa rules here are outdated and archaic but after living here you realise that it fits nicely with the local mindset !

I don,t get it. Nothing nice about the country or the locals or their religion nor their way of life!!!!! But you're all still HERE!!!!!. Strange.

Looks like they will make some minimum changes under pressure but not so as we can change jobs as per the UK. UAE made some changes a while ago that reduced the ban to six months. For a while I think you could also quit a UAE company and go and work in freezone like the DIFC - not sure if this is still the case.
