Your dependents’ visas must be canceled before your employer cancels yours. A dependent’s UAE family visa does not have to be canceled if you are only changing jobs and will not leave the UAE permanently. If you have been working in United Arab Emirates under an Employment visa, a work permit (Labour Card) and residence visa must also be canceled by your employer. If you stay outside of the UAE for more than six months, your Residence Visa will automatically be revoked. In the event that your UAE visa is cancelled while you are abroad, you must reapply for an Entry Permit in order to be allowed to return. It usually does not take long for a UAE visa to be cancelled. In most cases, the process is completed within two working days. Note: You have 30 days to leave the country after your UAE visa is cancelled. For accurate date check the date mentioned on your cancellation papers.
