Wa Alaikum Assalam.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Please note that under UAE law, the cancellation of an investor visa generally requires the sponsor (the person or entity who issued the visa) to complete the cancellation process.

Without the sponsor’s involvement, you cannot directly cancel the visa through standard channels.

However, if the sponsor is refusing or neglecting to cancel your visa, you do have options:

Immigration Authorities:

You can file a request with the relevant Immigration Department (GDRFA in Dubai, or ICA in other Emirates) explaining that the sponsor is not cooperating. Authorities may intervene to cancel the visa if you provide evidence.

Labour/Free Zone Authority (if applicable):

If your investor visa was issued under a free zone or through a company license, you can approach the respective free zone authority to lodge a complaint.

Court Complaint:

If the sponsor continues to refuse, you may initiate a legal complaint to compel the cancellation, especially if it is affecting your ability to obtain a new visa or maintain legal residency.

Next Step: We recommend you provide us with copies of your visa, company license, and any communication with the sponsor.

Once reviewed, we can assist you in approaching the correct authority or filing the necessary complaint.

Best regards,

Mohammed Salah
