Do I have to pay overstay if the company delayed the cancelation of my visa?

My visa expires on 31/08/2023 and my labor card expires on 31/07/2023.

Should I go to the relevant institution and cancel it?

If my labor card is not canceled, will I have to pay a fine for it?

I intend to go to my mother country after my visa expires. But my company was ready to charge me money for canceling my labor card.

Please give me an answer.

Thank you

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you with this matter.

You should cancel your labor card before it expires to avoid fines. Approach the relevant institution (MOHRE) for the cancellation.

Clarify any fees charged by your company, as canceling the labor card is usually the employer's responsibility.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you for answering my problem.

Today is the last day to expire my labor card. I can't do anything about it today.

Dear Questioner,

The process of employment cancellation requires the labor to be canceled first before the employment visa.

The visa can't be canceled before the labor.

Thank you
