Questions & Answers
Company license expired, my visa too. Who should pay my ID fines?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My company's license expired, causing my visa to expire as well. After five months, the company renewed its license, but they are not paying my ID fines.
I have my labor card, which is valid for another year. So, what can I do?
Who will need to pay fines even if I cancel my visa?
Dear Questioner,
The company should pay the ID fines since the situation arose due to their negligence in renewing the license on time.
Since your company renewed the license after 5 months, your visa status is unclear. Ideally, they should have re-applied for your visa.
Now you try to negotiate with your employer to settle this issue.
If you need further clarification, kindly contact us.
Dear Inquirer,
We are pleased to serve you and address your inquiries.
Fines related to legal residency in the country fall on the person, and if it is proven that they are due to the company, you can sue it in this regard.
