My employer is not willing to cancel my visa. Can I cancel it by waiting six months outside the UAE?

I am in India right now and I wanted to cancel my work visa in the UAE but my employer is not willing to cancel it.

If I stay more than 6 months, will my visa be canceled automatically?

After that, will I face any problems coming back to find a new work or when I get a new visa?

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

If you stay outside the UAE for more than six months, your residence visa may be automatically canceled.

However, this could impact your ability to find new work or obtain a new visa in the future.

It's essential to resolve the visa cancellation issue with your employer to avoid potential complications in the future.

The visa must be canceled correctly to avoid a travel ban being issued against you.

Hi,

You should contact your employer to cancel the visa as you will need to close your file and avoid an absconding case.

Yes, If the cancellation hasn't taken place properly there will be some consequences while issuing a new visa.

Try to contact your employer to cancel it and if he is not willing to do so, you may approach MOHRE to cancel the same.
