I submitted my resignation to take another job. How to cancel my visa if my company refuses?

If the company refuses to cancel the visa or obstructs the process, file a formal complaint with MOHRE.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

To expedite your visa cancellation, complete your notice period and remind your employer of their obligation to cancel your visa after your last working day.

If they refuse, consider filing a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

Ensure all end-of-service entitlements are settled before cancellation. Stay proactive to ensure a smooth transition to your new opportunity.

For any further discussion, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

The visa renewal process can be time-consuming and costly. Explain your situation calmly and professionally.

Acknowledge their concerns but reiterate your need for a timely visa cancellation due to your new employment opportunity.

According to the law, you are required to comply with the notice period.

And in terms of visa-related expenses, upon early termination, your employment contract should specify those clauses upon termination.

If nothing is mentioned, you are required to comply with the notice period only.

You can speak with your PRO and explain the situation clearly, emphasizing that the renewal happened before the new opportunity arose.

To expedite the cancellation, it's best to cooperate with the company and request them to speed up the process.

If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us via WhatsApp. We specialize in these matters and are happy to provide the necessary legal consultations.

Communicate openly with your PRO about the reasons behind your resignation after renewing your visa.

Follow company protocols for requesting cancellation and ensure all necessary steps are taken promptly.

This proactive approach will help expedite the process while maintaining professional relationships.

Dear questioner

If the company is not providing you with the cancelation of the visa, then you may be required to file a complaint in MOHRE for the visa cancellation.

If you need further assistance, kindly share your Whatsapp number.

Dear R.,

Thank you for your inquiry. Here's a summary of the next steps you should take regarding the cancellation of your employment visa:

Resignation and Notice Period: You are following the correct legal procedure by resigning and serving your notice period, even though your visa was recently renewed. Your employer's frustration is understandable, but it should not prevent your visa cancellation.

Visa Cancellation Process: Once your notice period is complete, your employer (through the PRO) is responsible for processing your visa cancellation. This may take a few days, but you can follow up to ensure timely completion.

Actions to Take:

Follow Up with PRO: Politely remind your PRO of the visa cancellation and request a timeline for the process.

Document Everything: Keep records of all communications regarding your resignation and visa cancellation.

Verify Cancellation: After your notice period ends, confirm with your employer that the cancellation is being processed.

If necessary, you may discuss paying renewal fees or transferring sponsorship if there are any complications.

Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

Best regards,
