Can I cancel my visa and join a new company while the appeal is ongoing?

Dear Questioner,

Good morning!

You can proceed with canceling your current visa and joining a new company, even while the appeal process is ongoing. Here’s what you should consider:

1. Visa Cancellation and Employment Transfer:

You are legally allowed to cancel your visa and transfer to a new employer while the court appeal is in process. However, you will need to secure a new job and ensure that your new employer is willing to sponsor your visa transfer.

2. Impact on Labour Case:

Canceling your visa or changing your employer will not affect your labour complaint or the appeal process. You can still pursue your claim for settlement with your previous employer.

3. Work Permit Transfer:

Once you cancel your current visa, the new employer can initiate the process of transferring your work permit. Ensure that all required documents are in place for a smooth transfer.

It is advisable to finalize the visa cancellation process properly to avoid complications.

Dear Client,

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

While you can legally cancel your visa and join a new company, it's advisable to wait until your labor case appeal is resolved to avoid complications.

Canceling your visa mid-case could affect your legal status and the case outcome. If you decide to proceed, your current employer must initiate the cancellation process, and you'll need to apply for a new entry permit to join another company.

Consult with us before making a decision.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

You can cancel your visa and join a new company even while the appeal is ongoing, as long as there is no court order preventing it.

Feel free to contact us via WhatsApp for precise legal advice regarding your case.

Our office specializes in labor and immigration cases, providing reliable legal solutions.

Dear questioner,

It will be better to cancel the visa by this time rather than at the end of the appeal.

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

As mentioned, you may inform the court about your intention to cancel your visa, especially if the cancellation is related to your new employment.

The court will ask your employer to issue an NOC for the cancellation of your visa so that your new company can proceed with your visa application.

If you need further clarification, feel free to ask us.

If you’ve filed a labor complaint and received a favorable decision, but your employer appeals, it complicates your employment and visa status.

First, understand your current visa status, as many visas are tied to specific employers, and canceling your visa might affect your legal right to remain in the country.

Canceling your visa while an appeal is pending can impact your case and any potential compensation, and starting new employment during this period could complicate your rights.

If possible, wait for the appeal to conclude to determine if you retain any benefits and to avoid jeopardizing your case.

Finally, consider the implications of a court ruling if you've changed jobs or canceled your visa before the decision is made.

In summary, seek legal counsel before making decisions regarding your visa or employment during an ongoing appeal to avoid jeopardizing your status and potential remedies.
