Can the employer help me to come back if I stayed more than 6 months outside UAE?

Can the employer provide something if I am more than 6 months outside UAE and I want to come back?

I have been through with a medical issue that's why I stayed longer here in the Philippines.

Dear Questioner,

You may check your file status on the ICA website, to see if a grace period is given above 6 months.

But as per the rules, the residency will be canceled automatically if the holder stays outside the UAE for more than 6 months.

Hello,

It is up to your employer If she/he will apply new entry permit for you to enter the UAE again if you want to come back.

This is because your residence visa has already been nullified due to staying more than 6 months outside the country.

Thank you

Regards,

Rishiel
