Resignation without exit: Can company report employee as absconding?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

If you have canceled your employment contract with your current company and have signed an MOL (Ministry of Labor) letter with a new company while your new visa is under process, you should not be reported as "absconding."

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

The likelihood of the company filing an absconding case in your situation is minimal, but there are important considerations.

Factors favoring against absconding include the cancellation of the visa, the 30-day grace period after cancellation, and the employee's commitment to new employment, as evidenced by the signed MOL letter and ongoing visa process.

However, contractual clauses in the original employment agreement could provide the company with some leverage, and their motives might still lead them to pressure the employee.

To address potential challenges, consulting a lawyer is crucial.

Dear Questioner,

If you incurred overstay under your former employment visa, then the company has an option to put an abscond on your name.

You may follow up with the procedures for issuing the new visa.

If they put an abscond, then your visa will not be processed. There won't be any issue with staying here under the grace period.

If you need further clarification, we will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge.
