Company not renewing visa of an employee: What are the proper procedures?

Dear Sir/Madam,

A colleague of mine still has an unlimited contract with a private entity. The company has expressed its desire not to renew his visa.

They are asking him to resign because of this.

What is the proper procedure for both the company and the staff member?

Dear Client,

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

In the UAE, if a company decides not to renew an employee's visa, they should provide written notice in advance, settle outstanding dues, assist with visa cancellation, and issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

On the employee's side, they should consider options and cooperate with the visa cancellation.

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,

ABDUL WAHIED

If either party wishes to not renew the contract, then the contract can be terminated and the employee must serve the notice period according to the contract.

If you need further clarification we will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge of 28$. Share your WhatsApp number if you want to go with the services.
