Changing the local sponsor of a sole establishment
Hello Mrs Nikhat,
I have a Sole Establishment Licence for real estate brokerage company which is in name of a local sponsor. But I have the full POA with me.
I wanted to change my sponsor. My current visa is employment visa, General Manager, but I can add my name to the license also.
Can I change my local sponsor without the signature of my current local sponsor?
Kind regards

Real estate license can never be owned by expats. So you cannot add your name.
Further, the sponsor is not a sponsor but the real owner as per the records of the department. He can remove you and cancel the PoA but you cannot remove him without his consent.
