We would like to inform you that according to what was mentioned in your inquiry, if you intend to change the work and the visa, then yes, it is possible, but according to specific regulations. First, the work shall be completed according to the legal principles, so that you will not be subject to a ban because of the escape report by the sponsor, in addition to that changing the work and the visa requires obtaining a non objection from the sponsor and canceling the visa . The visa of your dependents may not be held if you wish to cancel the previous visa, given that they follow the sponsor (the resident sponsors his family), regard to canceling the visa, whoever has the right to cancel it is the previous sponsor or whoever he delegates and the worker cannot cancel it himself, but in the event that it is proven that the employer and sponsor of the cancellation are intransigent without any legal justification, then the labor office has the right to cancel the visa usually, only the sponsor or whoever he delegates on his behalf (such as a delegate in the case of companies) is authorized to proceed with the procedures for canceling residence visas that he sponsors, and the sponsor himself cannot proceed to medicine without the permission and signature of the sponsor
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.
