We would like to inform you that regarding the cancellation of the visa, who has the right to cancel it is the previous sponsor or his representative, and the worker can't cancel it himself, but in the case of proven abusive and intransigent employer sponsor to cancel without any legal justification so the Labor Office can usually revoke the visa, which only authorizes the sponsor or his delegate on his behalf (e.g., the representative in the case of companies) to proceed with the cancellation of the residence visas he guarantees.
In case the company decides to cancel the work visa for the employee, it should first refer to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to cancel the work contract and the work card for the employee and this application must be signed by both the employer and the employee, accompanied by a letter signed by the employee confirming that he has received all his salaries, benefits and end of service from the company.
After the cancellation is completed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, only the sponsor can apply for the cancellation of the residence visa before the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in the Emirate concerned.
For family (or personal) residence visas, such as the sponsoring spouse of his wife, children and dependents, the sponsor must first cancel his or her sponsored visa before he / she cancels his or her residence visa.
Cancellations can be made through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs, which issued the residence visa in the Emirate concerned first. Here are the required documents for cancellation.
The following documents must be attached to 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 seal of the company, accompanied by a letter of clearance and the completion of the procedures by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
- Original passport of the sponsored person
- Original ID card of the sponsored person
- If the sponsored person is outside the country, the original passport must be brought, although it is not possible to apply for an extract from the residence visa from the computer.
- Duration and fees
- Under normal circumstances, the cancellation request can be completed in one day or less, depending on the applicant completing all documents and requirements.
