The liability of canceling or renewing a residency visa of an employee

Good evening,

My residency/work visa expired on 13/11/2019, but the employer is not willing to renew nor cancel my visa.

Is the company liable or is it my liability?

There will be no fines for 3 months for all expired visas. Also, the UAE made a major announcement about extending the validity of all residency visas, entry permits, and Emirates IDs until the end of 2020.

A top official has now said that the process will be automatic. This means that you won't have to renew your documents if they expired after March 1, 2020. The validity is automatically extended until December 31, 2020.
