What to do with dependents' visas upon joining another employer?
Dear sir/madam,
I have a residence visa and my both daughters are under my sponsorship. I want to know if I got a new job and had to cancel my old residence visa, then what about my daughters' visas?
Would cancel them prior to my visa cancellation? Or are there any options for holding their visas and transferring to a new visa?

Hi,
Pursuant to your query, you have the option to put your daughters' visas on hold for 60 days before you cancel your visa.
You will have to visit an Amer service center in Dubai and tell the authorities that you do not want to cancel the family’s visa, but would prefer to put it on hold instead, while you change sponsors for work, using the service.
