All cities, UAE

Exiting the country during the processing of employment visa

Hi,

My question is, can anyone travel/exit the country while only a work permit issued without stamping the visa?

I've entered the UAE on a 90 days visa, signed MOL Offer Letter with a company but now due to circumstances I need to travel back.

Kindly help if it is possible as per the UAE law.

Thank you

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

Please note that work permits are issued for a limited time within which visa stamping and medical ought to be done.

In case the time frame expires, then the company ought to cancel the permit, or else, you may face difficulties in your reentry. You can have a word with your company PRO in this regard.

Would advise that you further get in touch with Ministry of Labour to seek clarification on this.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

Thank you, Sir, for the response. I will definitely check with MOL as well.
