Dear Inquirer

Automatic Cancellation: If the resident has been out of the country for more than six months, the visa may be canceled without the need for formal procedures.

Duration: The time it takes to process a cancellation (if initiated by the employer or individual) can vary but is generally quick, often within a few days to a couple of weeks.

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

If you need further clarification, you can contact us.

Dear questioner,

There is a procedure for automatic visa cancellation, which may take 6 months; however, it is only applied in certain cases.

The authorities always insist on canceling the visa through the sponsor, as there could be legal complications otherwise.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.
