Dear Inquirer,

- Canceling Medical Insurance:

When an employment visa is canceled, it is generally required to cancel the employee's medical insurance. It's important to do this to avoid any legal or financial liabilities.

- Consequences of Not Canceling:

If the medical insurance is not canceled, the employer may continue to incur premium costs, leading to unnecessary expenses.

Additionally, the employee might face issues accessing medical services if the same insurance is used after the employment visa has expired.

- Contacting the Insurance Company:

The employer should contact the insurance company to formally cancel the policy and prevent any future complications.

It is best to have a lawyer present to prevent any risks that may occur.

If you need further clarification, you can contact us.
