Will an employee visa still be valid when the company trade license is not renewed?

Dear sir/madam,

My employer’s trade license is getting expired very soon and he just made me a visa, so will my visa still be valid when the company trade license is not renewed?

Dear questioner,

Yes, the residency remains valid whether or not the commercial license is renewed.

So I should not be worried about being in overstay?

I am in Abu Dhabi. I have been working for a fitness company and my visa is 3 months old but unfortunately, my employer is not willing to renew the company trade license.

Will my visa still be valid right?

Dear questioner,

It is your employer's business to get his license renewed and if he does not, you can file a case against him if your rights are violated in terms of non-payment of salary, etc.

Kindly contact us via phone or email.
