An ex-employer asks for the new visa copy of an employee. What to do?

Hello Sir,

I was fired on JAN 20 2020 on the second day of arrival from vacation. They gave me 2 months of grace time to use the same visa to look for a job and also to settle my dues.

By April, they canceled my Freezone visa. I didn't get any job till Dec 2020 because the pandemic started, so I stayed and was looking for a job. Almost after a year, I got a job; the whole year I was jobless.

Almost a year and half later, my old Pro is threatening me if I didn't submit my new visa copy, they are going to file an absconding case on me.

I'm totally confused! How it even possible after a year and half they want my visa for some refund or to file a case against me?

Please advise on this!

I'm totally frustrated!

Hi Questioner,

Regarding your inquiry, yes your previous company needs to refund the money of your visa which was submitted to immigration when your visa was applied.

So for that refund, they need your new visa page copy. There is no harm if you provide them with your new visa page copy.

Kind Regards,
