How long can the employee stay in the country after resignation to find another job?
Hi,
An employee resigns during the probation period in the private sector of education, and the two weeks notice period has been served.
1. How long can the employee remain in the country to find another job? Does the employee need to leave the country for three months and then return?
2. Can the employee change the visa status to tourist with a border run and stay in the UAE to find a job?
Thank you
It is possible to stay for a period of 180 days, unless another period is specified in the cancellation paper, with a no-objection letter from the school from which you resigned.
According to your cancelation date, the date to leave the country or change the status is determined.
So if you had a resident visa, you can stay inside the country till the date determined by the ministry of human resources (you are supposed to receive an email determining how many days you can stay after cancelation).
If you were working on a tourist visa, you need to leave the country on the last day of your visa maximum or extend 1 month through the company that issued your visa.
