How to cancel the visa while the company delays cancelation and the employee is abroad

Hi,

I was working in a private clinic and I submitted my resignation through email and even informed the owner on WhatsApp and worked till the end of my notice period.

I have asked my company to cancel my visa since the beginning of my last working week and have sent them repeated calls and even emailed them to cancel my visa.

I told them that I will be leaving Dubai on 22/10/2020 so they should cancel my visa before that but they did not cancel my visa and they kept on delaying it.

Now, I've left UAE and I still want to cancel my visa so the owner asked me to pay for visa cancellation on WhatsApp, my friend did and they have cancelled my labour contract however my visa is still not cancelled at GDRFA.

I have repeatedly sent them messages on WhatsApp, phone calls and email asking them to cancel my visa before I leave UAE on 22/10/2020 but they ignored and did not cancel my visa.

My question is what should I do as the next step and how can I cancel my visa as I'm outside the UAE?

Please guide me!

Your company only can cancel your visa, you need to wait to cancel it after 6 months of your exit (without your passport).

If they have your passport, then they can cancel the visa before that.

Until your visa is not canceled, you can't get any other visa.

You may contact me directly via phone or email for further consultation.
