Q: Hi, I was working in a private clinic and I submitted my resignation through email and even informed the owner on WhatsApp and worked till the end of my notice period. I have asked my company to cancel my visa since the beginning of my last working week and have sent them repeated calls and even emailed them to cancel my visa. I told them that I will be leaving Dubai on 22/10/2020 so they should cancel my visa before that but they did not cancel my visa and they kept on delaying it. Now, I've left UAE and I still want to cancel my visa so the owner asked me to pay for visa cancellation on WhatsApp, my friend did and they have cancelled my labour contract however my visa is still not cancelled at GDRFA. I have repeatedly sent them messages on WhatsApp, phone calls and email asking them to cancel my visa before I leave UAE on 22/10/2020 but they ignored and did not cancel my visa. My question is what should I do as the next step and how can I cancel my visa as I'm outside the UAE? Please guide me!

Q: Hi, Good evening. One of my friends cancelled her visa from the company. Now, she's in her home country for more than a year and planning to come back. But the issue is when her cousin applied for a visit visa, the agency said her previous company didn't cancel her. Can you please suggest? Thank you.

Q: Can the employer cancel an employment visa without the knowledge of the employee?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I left the UAE in June and canceled my expired work permit before I left. I paid the outpass fee, and I was allowed back into the UAE a month later on a tourist visa. However, a company that does work permits has told me that my previous work permit is not canceled. Is this possible? How was I allowed back into the UAE on a tourist visa if my previous work permit is not canceled?
