Canceling visa and labor card for new job during ongoing labor case
Dear Sir/Ma’am,
I hope all is well with you, and I trust you can assist me in this situation.
I was employed by a private company before I resigned, and my last working day was on September 30. The issue is that they do not want to cancel my employment and provide my gratuity and settlement.
Additionally, my labor card expired on October 6, 2023; will I incur fines for this?
I filed a court case last November, and its second hearing is scheduled for December 26. I have already obtained an NOC from Al Adheed Center.
Recently, I received an offer letter from a free zone, and they are prepared to issue me an employment visa. My current visa is set to expire on December 26, 2023.
Can I personally process the cancellation of my visa and labor card so that the Free Zone company can legally proceed on my behalf while my case is ongoing?
Thank you!
Dear Questioner,
You cannot cancel the visa by yourself; it can only be done by your previous employer.
You can submit a request to the court mentioning your circumstances, and along with your request, show the new offer letter from the new employer.
The court can provide you the directions on this matter. Meanwhile, without the approval of the court, do not approach the previous employer to cancel the visa; it can be interpreted as settling the case.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.
Yes, you can process your visa cancellation and the cancellation of your labor card by yourself.
Once your labor card is canceled, the Free Zone company can proceed with your new employment visa.
Just ensure that all the necessary procedures are followed correctly to avoid any complications.
