Cancellation of visa after leaving the UAE on emergency
Hi,
Greetings,
Ma'am, I am working for a free zone company as a sales executive. Due to my medical condition, I informed my company and had to come on an emergency to my country.
After leaving the country, I met the doctor and he said it will take more than 4 months to recover after physiotherapy sessions.
In the meantime, I called up my company and informed them about my medical condition and told them to cancel the visa, as I don't want to work anymore and instead I want to start a business in the UAE after my recovery.
The main concern now is the company does not want to cancel my visa and also harassing me. They will put on me some kind of legal case.
Please advise, how can I move forward. I want to cancel my visa and start my own business in the UAE.
Thanks and regards
Dear Questioner,
Thank you for contacting online.
First of all, you didn't mention how long you've been working with this company.
And if you want to cancel your visa upon medical conditions, you can send a request mail putting forth all your requirements along with the medical certificate.
If you do this and still the company is not ready to cancel, it will get cancelled automatically after six months if you didn't enter the UAE.
If you have all the relevant documents of your treatment with you, the company cannot file a case against you. And even if they file a case, it can be defended based on your documents.
So after six months you can come back and start your own business.
Please feel free to contact me on 0556635526 or on ar@alnassaradvocates.com if you need any further assistance.
Regards,
