ما هي فترة السماح المسموح لي بالبقاء فيها بعد إنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي؟

مرحبًا سيدي،

أعمل في شركتي الحالية منذ أربع سنوات.

مؤخرًا جددوا تأشيرتي لمدة عامين آخرين، ولكن فجأة سمعت أنهم سيفصلونني عن العمل خلال الشهرين المقبلين.

سؤالي هو كم من الوقت يمكنني البقاء بعد إلغاء تأشيرتي؟

هل من الممكن البقاء هنا لمدة تصل إلى 180 يومًا دون مغادرة؟

(هل تطبق عليّ 180 يومًا فترة سماح للعاطلين عن العمل في هذه الحالة؟).

Hi Questioner,

Good day!

Regarding your query, please be informed that the government of the UAE has decided to increase the grace period available for resident visa holders post-cancellation of their visa.

The period available varies from 60 days to 180 days, depending upon the visa category (such as Golden Visa, Investor Visa, Skilled Employees, and other categories).

However, this decision of the government is not yet made effective with an official order or decree.

Therefore, you shall leave the country by the expiry of the period mentioned in your cancellation paper, otherwise, fines and other legal consequences will be applicable.

For further assistance, please contact us by phone or email.

Best regards.

Dear,

According to the new UAE visa reforms, a resident who has been dismissed and had his work visa canceled has an extended grace period of 60 - 90 days to exit the UAE or find a new job.

According to the previous rules, it was 30 days.

Kind regards,

KHA Advocates

28 days after the visa is canceled if you do not file a labor case.
