When should the company cancel me if my contract and labor card have expired, but my ID is still valid?

Hello,

When your employment contract and labor card have expired, the employer is responsible for canceling your work permit (labor card) and residence visa within a specific timeframe.

The employer is required to initiate the cancellation process with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) immediately after your employment contract and labor card expire.

There is typically no grace period for expired labor cards, so timely cancellation is essential to avoid penalties for both the company and the employee.

The company should also cancel your residence visa linked to employment once they process the labor card cancellation.

The visa cancellation should ideally happen shortly after the labor card is canceled, as it also legally terminates your employment.

Dear questioner,

When the labor card and contract expire, this will automatically affect the visa and EID.

You will either need to renew the contract and labor card or cancel everything, including the visa, and convert to a new visa.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Immediately at the end of the contract. If they don’t, you will have to call MOHRE for cancellation.

You must submit a complaint to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

Dear Questioner,

The date of expiry of the employment contract is the basis.

Hi,

Good afternoon!

If your contract and labor card have expired, your company is legally obligated to cancel your visa and residency permit.

The company cannot continue to employ you without a valid work permit, and doing so would be a violation of UAE labor law.

Once your contract and labor card expire, you should start the process of canceling your visa and residency permit. This can be done through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or through your company.

For further assistance, kindly share your contact details.

Dear Questioner,

The company should cancel your employment contract and labor card as soon as they expire. Your visa is tied to your employment contract and labor card.

If these documents are not valid, your visa status becomes irregular, potentially leading to legal issues.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the cancellation of your employment status!

In the UAE, when your contract and labor card have expired, your employer is generally required to cancel your employment visa within 30 days. However, if your ID is still valid, you may have some time before you need to address this.

It’s important to ensure that the cancellation process is initiated promptly to avoid any penalties for both you and your employer.

I recommend contacting your HR department or a legal professional to ensure that your rights are protected during this process.
