Do I need to get my EOSB if I change visa to another company for the same owner?

Hi

I have been working in a company under a local sponsor with 2 partners for the last 6 years and my visa will expire next month.

However, my company has informed me that they shall transfer my visa to their other company with the same OWNER with a new partner (without a local sponsor).

In this situation, what do I need to do?

Will my previous gratuity be added to my new visa or do I need to take my end-of-service benefits and work as a new employee?

Kindly suggest.

Dear Client,

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

When transferring your employment visa to another company under the same owner in the UAE, your previous gratuity should continue to accumulate based on your total years of service.

You typically won't need to take your end-of-service benefit, and your rights should be protected during the transfer process.

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

Hence it's another visa, you can take your end-of-service benefit from the current company.

If the company has given you a choice to add the gratuity to the new visa, you can choose this option as well.
