Dear Client,

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

As a UK citizen in Dubai, once your residence employment visa is canceled, you are typically granted a 30-day grace period to remain in the country.

During this time, you can search for other job opportunities or make necessary arrangements.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you for your response Abdul.

Is there a certificate I need to obtain from my employer from MOHRE stating the grace period amount they have granted me?

I was under the impression the grace period had been extended to 90 days. Is this correct?
