Cancellation of Employment / Residence Visa

Understanding UAE Visa Cancellation

Before exiting the UAE, residents must officially cancel their visas—a task typically handled by the sponsor with the support of trusted PRO services in Dubai. To ensure a smooth transition, it’s essential to settle all financial obligations, close out employment or rental contracts, and notify the relevant authorities.

Key Documents Required for Visa Cancellation:

Emirates ID (original)
Copy of the dependent’s passport and visa
Sponsor’s passport copy
Entry permit copy
Financial clearance declaration
Death certificate (if applicable)

When and How to Cancel Your Visa

Visa cancellation is generally initiated by the sponsor. However, holders of golden investor visas may apply independently through PRO service providers. All dues—such as end-of-service benefits and final settlements—must be cleared before requesting cancellation. Additionally, providing a confirmed air ticket is often required.

Visa Cancellation Methods in the UAE

There are several convenient ways to cancel a visa:

Through ICP (Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship) platforms
GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) portals
AMER centers across Dubai
Authorized typing centers

Using SSR Global PRO services in Dubai ensures proper documentation, timely submission, and payment of applicable fees.

Processing Time

Visa cancellation is usually processed within 48 hours, provided all documents are in order. Applicants are expected to submit the necessary paperwork within a month to avoid penalties. A confirmation notification is issued once the cancellation is approved.

Checking Your Visa Cancellation Status

To track the status of a visa cancellation:

Visit the ICP website
Enter your passport number and nationality

Using PRO services in Dubai can simplify this process and ensure accurate tracking. Note: failure to cancel a visa properly before leaving may lead to automatic cancellation and possible entry bans.

Grace Periods After Cancellation

Grace periods vary depending on visa type:

Golden visa holders: up to 180 days
Standard employment/residency visas: 30 days or more

Professional services ensure these periods are properly accounted for and that any necessary follow-up actions are taken.
