Can I exit the UAE without canceling my company entry permit?

Hello,

If you entered the UAE on a company entry permit and have not yet started the medical process or obtained a residency visa, you are still in the entry permit stage.

Technically, you can leave the UAE without completing cancellation, but it is not advised. If the entry permit is left active, your company may still report you as absconding, which could cause problems if you want to return to the UAE in the future or apply for another visa.

It is best to inform your employer of your decision not to continue and request them to cancel the entry permit officially. This will help you avoid any legal or immigration complications later.

Let me know if you need assistance in drafting communication to your employer or understanding your safe exit procedures.

You cannot leave the UAE easily. The entry permit you entered with is tied to a company, and this permit must be cancelled before you leave.

Since you have not completed the medical procedures or commenced work, the fastest way to address this situation is to contact your employer to request the permit cancellation, or contact the Labor Counseling and Claims Center if this is not possible.

If you have only entered the UAE on an entry permit and no medical test, Emirates ID application, or visa stamping on your passport has been done, then technically, your residency visa has not been completed.

In such a case, you are not bound to that company under a full visa sponsorship yet.

You may leave the UAE without going through a formal visa cancellation process, since your visa was never fully stamped. However, the company can still report to Immigration that you did not complete your joining formalities, and this may affect future applications if not handled correctly.

To avoid any complications for future employment or visa processing, it is advisable to formally notify the company and check if they can cancel the unused entry permit from their side.

I can assist you with reviewing your entry status and advising on the proper legal steps so that you leave the UAE without any issue and safeguard your future opportunities here.

Feel free to contact me on WhatsApp or by phone at [-----------] to discuss your case in detail, and I can guide you on the best approach.

Dear questioner,

You need to cancel the entry permit before leaving. It can only be cancelled with the help of the sponsor, and only after that can you leave the UAE.
