Can I resign during probation to take another job offer?
Hi,
I would like to inquire if it is possible to leave my current job and join a new company, yet my visa is limited and I only work for 3 months now.
Do I need to pay a certain amount to my current employer and cancel my residence visa? What are the pros and cons of this matter?
Thanks

Nobody can be forced to work; therefore, please rest assured that you have the right to resign.
Generally, the validity of the visa in the UAE is 3 years, especially the employment visa.
You may have to pay an early termination compensation to your employer if you are under a limited-term contract and you are willing to terminate the contract before the term agreed thereon.
If you require any further assistance, you may send me an email.
