How to cancel a partner visa if the company is blocked and banned?

Hello,

To cancel a partner visa when the company is blocked or under a ban, you can visit the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) and request manual cancellation with the required documents.

Hello,

A partner visa is typically issued based on the sponsorship of a business or partner, and the sponsor is legally responsible for managing the visa, including cancellation.

However, if the company that sponsored the partner visa is blocked, banned, or defunct, and they cannot fulfill their obligation to cancel the visa, legal action through court may be required to resolve the issue.

If the company that sponsors the partner visa is unable to act due to being blocked or banned, you have the option to apply to the court for assistance in cancelling the visa.

The court can order the cancellation of the visa and resolve the matter where the sponsor has failed to do so.

Hello,

Cancelling a partner's visa in the event of a company ban requires following certain legal and administrative steps in the UAE. Here are the procedures to follow:

- Closing or Banning a Company:

First, you must ensure that the company has been officially banned or liquidated through the relevant authorities, such as the Department of Economic Development or the free zone, if the company is located there.

- Cancelling a Trade License:

You must submit an application to cancel the company's trade license to the relevant authority (the Department of Economic Development or the free zone) and submit all required documents, such as tax certificates and proof of company closure.

- Cancelling a Visa:

After the company is closed, you can apply to cancel the partner's visa at the police's Residency and Immigration Department or at the relevant government agency (the Human Resources Department or the Residency Department).

- Financial Settlement:

You must ensure that all financial debts have been settled, such as debts owed to partners, employees, or any other party.

- Submitting Required Documents:

You will need to submit the necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, canceled trade license, and any other documents required by the authorities.

- Approval from the local partner:

If there is a local partner, their approval must be obtained to cancel the visa if the company is located in Dubai or in the free zones.

Dear Client,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the cancellation of a partner visa in the UAE under circumstances where the company is currently blocked or banned.

Please note the following recommended steps:

1. Assess the Reason for the Block/Ban:

First, determine the specific reason for the company’s block or ban (e.g., license expiry, regulatory issues, or other violations). In some cases, resolving these issues may be required before proceeding with visa cancellation.

2. Directly Approach Immigration Authorities:

If the company is unable to process the visa cancellation due to its status, you should visit the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) or the relevant immigration office in your emirate.

Bring all necessary documents, including your passport, Emirates ID, trade license, and any official correspondence regarding the company’s status.

3. Request Manual Cancellation:

Explain your situation to the immigration officials and formally request manual cancellation of the partner visa. You may be asked to provide a written explanation, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from other partners or the local sponsor (if available), and any supporting documentation.

4. Settle Outstanding Fines:

Ensure that any outstanding fines or penalties (such as overstay or administrative fees) are settled, as these are typically required for the cancellation process to proceed.

5. Obtain Official Confirmation:

Once the process is complete, request official confirmation or a cancellation receipt from the immigration authority for your records.

6. Additional Guidance:

If you encounter challenges or delays, consider consulting a licensed visa consultant or legal advisor experienced in UAE immigration matters.

After cancellation, you will generally have a 30-day grace period to regularize your status or exit the country.

Should you require further assistance with documentation or representation before the authorities, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,
