Can I switch jobs in Dubai without canceling my work permit due to salary dissatisfaction?

Dear Questioner,

Yes, you can apply for another job in Dubai without having to cancel your work permit. However, you may need to inform your current employer about your intent to leave and find a new job.

It is important to follow the proper procedures and regulations set by the UAE government when changing jobs to ensure that you are legally allowed to work in the country.

Additionally, you should consult the relevant authorities to understand the implications of changing jobs without canceling your work permit.

Greetings,

After getting a job offer from another company, you can request a cancellation of your business card from the previous company.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, in the UAE, once you have a work permit and are employed, changing jobs involves specific legal procedures.

Here are some key points to consider if you wish to apply for another job without canceling your current work permit:

- Review Employment Contract: Check for notice period and resignation terms.

- Comply with Labor Law: Adhere to UAE labor law requirements, including completing the notice period.

- No Objection Certificate (NOC): Obtain an NOC from your current employer if required.

- New Job Offer: Secure a new job offer before starting the transfer process.

- Work Permit Transfer: The new employer will handle the transfer of your work permit and visa.

- Follow Legal Requirements: Ensure both employers follow MOHRE regulations or relevant free zone authority rules.

Greetings,

Normally, to work for a new company, they will need to sponsor a new work permit and visa for you.

This requires canceling your existing ones.
