Good afternoon sir

Dear Customer,
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!
We would like to inform you that the sponsor or his representative (for example, in case of companies) shall do the procedures for cancelling the residence visa. The sponsor may not proceed without permission and the sponsor signature.
If the company decides to cancel the work visa for the employee, it must first refer to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation request to cancel the work contract and the employee's work card. This application must be signed by the employer and the employee, accompanied by a letter signed by the employee stating that he has received all his salary, entitlements and end of service from the company.
After completion of the cancellation by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the sponsor can only apply for cancellation of the residence visa before the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs.
For family sponsored residence visas, such as a sponsor's spouse, children and dependents, the sponsor must cancel the sponsored visas before canceling his residence visa.
Cancellation is done by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, which issued the residence visa in the Emirate concerned first. The printing office shall print the cancellation application electronically on behalf of the applicant and submit it to the General Directorate for Residency and Foreigners Affairs for approval and stamping the cancellation.
The following documents must be attached upon submitting of the application for cancelling the residence visa at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs:
- Cancellation application form signed by the sponsor
- If the sponsor is a company or establishment, the application must include the signature and stamp of the company, along with a letter of clearance and settling all the procedures by the Ministry of Human Resources.
- Original passport of the sponsored person
- The original ID card of the sponsored person
- In case that the sponsored person is outside the country, the original passport must be attached, if it is not possible, a request for the residence visa from the computer system
