Does the employer send the employee back to country after resignation?

Good morning,

I just want to ask if I resign after 1 year and my contract is unlimited, will my employer send me back to my country?

Thanks

Dear questioner,

After visa cancellation, it's the employer's responsibility to send back the employees to their home country or the employee should change his visa status to another employer.

Still, you have a grace period of 29 days after visa cancellation to search for a new job and transfer the visa.

Kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.

Even I'm on a visit visa here, I'm not a direct-hire from my country.

Generally, yes, your last employer is required to provide you with a ticket home.
