I have a labor absconding case from my company. How can I cancel my visa from India?

Wa alaikum assalam,

Since you are in India and have an absconding report from your UAE employer, you cannot cancel your own visa directly; only your employer (sponsor) can formally cancel your work permit and residence visa through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

However, because you are outside the UAE, your employer can proceed with cancellation by submitting your residence visa details and confirming you are no longer in the country.

To resolve the absconding status and visa cancellation:

Contact your previous employer and request them to cancel your visa and withdraw the absconding report. If they agree, they can process this through MOHRE.

If your employer refuses, you can file a request to cancel the absconding report through MOHRE’s online portal or by contacting their call center, providing your passport and visa details.

If you remain outside the UAE for more than six months, your residence visa will be automatically cancelled, but the absconding record may still remain in the system, affecting future entry.

Summary:

You need your employer’s cooperation for visa cancellation, or you can request MOHRE to remove the absconding report if you have proof you left the country.

If you need further help, contact MOHRE at [-----------] for guidance.
