Employment visa cancellation
I was working at Dubai airport. I was given 2-year visa to work in the company, my visa will expire on 3rd of August 2017. Along the line, I applied in another company, was given appointment letter and was asked to submit my cancellation letter which I did after collecting it from my former company.
When they went to an immigration center, they said in their system it was recorded that I have left Dubai since a year plus while I am still in the country. So they asked me to exit on the 7th of April while my visa will expire on the 3rd of August 2017... since have submitted my cancellation letter my visa is not out yet... someone told me that within 2 weeks visa processing will be done, so I don't know why it is taking too long to be ready.
Please ma/sir I need your help. What shall I do? Thank you.
Dear Sir,
Once you resign and your visa is canceled you do not have any visa so it doesn't matter what is the date of the validity of the old visa.
Yes, visa cancellation is faster than processing a visa and visa processing does take time as verification process is time-consuming. But you don't have to worry, you have to exit within a period of maximum 30 days after your old visa is canceled.
I'm sure before the expiry of the 30 days you will get your new visa. But keep checking, go to the Residency Department and check, sometimes they require certain documents which you will come to know when you go there.
With best regards
Mrs. Khan
