Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, the grace period for an employee whose visa has been canceled in the UAE is 30 days.

During this time, the employee must either find a new job and obtain a new visa or leave the country.

If the employee fails to do so, they may face penalties and potential deportation. It is important to note that the grace period may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the employer's policies.

It is always best to consult with us at [------] for accurate information.

Dear Questioner,

If the employee visa is cancelled, the person has a 30-day grace period in which he/she must leave the country or apply for a new visa.

The 30-day period starts from the day of visa cancellation.

This depends on what type of visa you hold.

You could have either 180 days (6 months for level 1 and 2), 90 days (3 months for level 3), or 30 days (1 month for all other levels), depending on the classification level of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

As per the new rules, once an employee's visa is canceled, they are granted a 30-day grace period to either find a new job or make arrangements to leave the country.

After the 30-day grace period, the individual must either have a new visa in place or exit the country to avoid any penalties or fines.
