1. As per departmental relies firstly the NOC is mandatary in such cases secondly the visa office depending upon country to country may ask for the NOC from the government as different countries have separate visa rules.

As per the dopt guidelines the noc is mandatory for the govt employees and it should be given in 21 days of its application or denied. If not communicated it will be considered as given. The same is done due to security reasons and other important factors
- Yes, As per rule, when a government servant applies for leave for going abroad on a private visit/or for education , prior permission of the competent authority for such visit is required.
- This permission /NOC should be issued from the head of the Department .
Dear Sir,
If you are working in government organization, you are required to take NOC before applying for visa. But, if you are in private organization, then you are not required to have NOC. You may apply straight in later case and then inform the department and file resignation.
1. Yes NOC will be mandatory as you are going for higher studies which can only be possible with NOC from department during permanent job.
2. If you don't want to continue with job then you should resign from job and provide relieving letter if visa office ask for NOC from your department.
See it is better to put resignation and apply for higher studies visa norms for every country are different also the procedure is different so it better to consult a visa consultant on this and follow your service rules.
If you have shown that you are a government employee in the visa application then it would become pertinent to obtain NOC from the department concerned
The process of visa will be stopped without you complying with the requisite formalities.
You can choose between your employment and higher education.
If you do not want to continue with this employment then you can better tender resignation and get relieved before planning to visit abroad for higher studies.
This will not create any legal hassle for you.
Visa office does not ask for noc for going abroad

as per existing instructions, when a government servant applies for leave for going abroad on a private visit, separately prior permission of the competent authority for such visit is also required.
"While granting such permission, many factors are required to be kept in view. For example, permission may be denied in the interest of security. Individuals facing investigation or inquiry on serious charges, who may try to evade apprehension
by police authorities, or facing the inquiry, may also not be permitted to leave the country. On the other hand, it is also desirable that requests of government servants for such permission are dealt with expeditiously," it said.
3) Permission to central government employees going abroad need to be given within 21 days of receive of a request by concerned authorities, failing which it will be assumed that the nod has been given.
Besides, any denial of such permission should not be taken "below the level of head of department", as per the fresh instructions issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
you need permission from govt for going abroad for further studies during course of your employment
you may not need noc for visa purposes
It would be difficult to hide job in visa process.
Advisable thing is that you should resign and apply for visa.
No. And not informing foreign visit calls disciplinary action and nothing else.
Maximum dept. Can terminate so not Informing has no much repercussion.
Yes as no government servant go for foreign travel without the written consent of the government.
Since you are government servant you can not conceal this while applying fr Visa as if you do later visa can be cancelled.
So do apply for NOC from your employer which is likely to be allowed.
If you want to go abroad you have to share this information with the department and your HOD.
You can't bypass them as visa authorities ask all the details before granting the visa.
You have to inform the visa authorities about your employment etc.
There may be disciplinary action against you.
Hello,
If you quit from the job then no NOC is required.
Regards
It is advised that you quit the job and then apply for VISA because the VISA authorities might ask your for employment status and in case you show it as EMPLOYED then they might ask for NOC.
It depends on the VISA office and the rules of the particular country.
Regards
Hello,
No the visa office cannot legally ask the NOC.
Regards
Yes.
It is a mandatory document. It proves a couple of things.
One that you are employed with the company and your paycheck that is credited in your account originates from that company/department
Another is that you have informed your company about your travel plans and your leave is sanctioned by them.
This process vessels that you have ties to your country which you will return to, after your holiday/work is completed
Thus you do not pose a threat of an illegal immigrant. And it makes your case easier to get the visa.
you have to submit a resignation letter stating due and valid reasons to the competent authority i.e your appointing authority through proper channel
1. You have not mentioned which department are you working in.
2. Most departments have made rules which require a public servant working in that department to inform his superior before undertaking a foreign trip. In some departments you have to not only inform the department, but also seek NOC from it.
3. Visa officers do ask the applicant if he has informed/taken NOC from his department.
