Re-entry Ban

• Dear Sir,
  
  I left Qatar on 24th April 2007. In new sponsorship law 2009 it is mentioned that a person left from qatar on his own can return after 2 years from the date of departure. While leaving from Qatar I did not cancel my visa. I heared that the visa will be cancelled automatically after six months from the date of exit. Kindly clarify if the 2 years ban is from the date of departure or from the date of visa cancellation.
  
  Someone said that a person left Qatar will not be able to come back until his previous visa is being canceled by his previous sponsor. My visa was expired on 30th January 2008.
  
  Still I have problem in coming back to Qatar?
  
  Please help.
  
  
  Thanks,
  Alain
