I got an offer from a new company and I have an ongoing labor case, how to change visa?

Good day,

I got an offer letter from a new company and I have an ongoing labor case in Dubai court.

The new employer is asking for the cancellation of the visa in order to apply for the new one.

If I take NOC from the court, how can I convince the new employer to allow me to work without a valid visa?

The worker whose complaint is referred to the judiciary has the right to request a temporary work permit with a new employer during the consideration of the case, with the exception of the worker against whom a work interruption complaint was registered.

Actually, my query is not resolved yet.

Can you please tell me, if I obtain a NOC from the court, will the new employer agree to work with the NOC?

If he insists to cancel the old visa in order to apply for the new visa, can you pls help me out with that?
