Greetings,

Your employer in DIFC cannot legally delay visa cancellation or force you to sign cancellation documents without settling your final dues.

Under DIFC Employment Law, you have the right to receive your full end-of-service entitlements before signing any clearance.

Your Legal Options:

Request Immediate Settlement – Formally demand your dues before signing any documents.

File a Complaint – You can escalate the issue to the DIFC Courts – Small Claims Tribunal (SCT) for swift resolution.

Legal Representation – If your employer continues to delay, legal action may be necessary to secure your rights.
