Dubai, UAE

I want to leave my job and join another job. Can I do it immediately without paying compensation?

I am G. T.

Good evening,

I am working in the UAE Dubai, but I would like you to help me.

I am consulting about the visa cancellation. Is it possible to cancel my visa with my company and join another company within a period of six months?

And is there any money that is supposed to be paid?

Thank you.

Hello dear

You must notify the employer of the termination of the employment contract and adhere to the notice period according to your employment contract and regarding the payment of money.

If you decide to leave work before the end of the employment contract, you must pay any recruitment costs paid by the employer.

Hello,

In the UAE, the employer is responsible for canceling your visa. If your employer cancels your visa it is not possible to directly join another company within six months.

However, you can obtain NOC from your current employer which will allow you to join another company during this period.

If you need more clarification kindly share your WhatsApp number for further discussion.

If you leave the company before six months, then you have to pay. Otherwise not.
