Procedure to be followed while changing visa to another employer

My husband is under my visa (wife's visa). He found a job and the company is going to give him an employment visa.

Does he need to cancel his current visa in order to proceed for the company’s visa or just do the labour permit and give the No Objection letter?

And if he really needs to cancel his current visa, does it affect also his medical insurance or he can still continue using it even if his visa is will be under the company’s visa?

Thank you so much.

In this case, a no-objection letter is sufficient.

But in the case of cancelling the visa, this will affect the insurance, of course, because the new sponsor will be obligated to do insurance for the employee.

Is the no objection letter also applicable to the “wife’s visa”, even if it was written in the visa there NOT EMPLOYED instead of Housewife?

And the typing centre said that it’s ok to continue using the current medical insurance.

And the company is willing to reimburse the money that we paid for his insurance. The visa and insurance is in Abu Dhabi.
