Joining a new employer while cancellation papers are not issued after resignation
I am employed on an unlimited contract with my current employer. It is 1 month for the notice period (as per the labor contract).
I got an offer from a new employer and, therefore, resigned a month ago. Now, one month has passed since my resignation but the employer is not canceling my visa and wants to extend more.
Kindly advise on what I should do now since my new employer sends a labor offer and is asking for my canceling papers.
Dear questioner,
Thank you for contacting me!
Since you are on an unlimited contract, you are entitled to terminate the contract by giving 30 days notice period. I believe your employment contract is also clear on this point.
If your employer is not canceling your employment visa even after repeated requests, please approach the ministry of labor to help you in this regard. You may also approach Tawafouq centers regarding the cancellation of your visa.
