Possibly Changing Jobs - the confusion!
I've been in the UAE for just over 4 years, and until now have been with the same employer who brought me over. I have a final interview for a position with an employer in Abu Dhabi (current visa is Dubai), and am trying to work out what has to happen if I do decide to switch.
My current employers terms state they wont transfer my sponsorship if the new employer is a direct competitor (they are), so they expect to cancel my visa and have me exit the UAE on a company-provided flight within 7 days. (it states this in their contract.....but as you have 30 days grace on cancellation I'm not sure how rigid this is)
I would like to use the flight, and they can report me as absconding if I don't appear for it, but I have a bank loan which wont be cleared......so will the bank allow me to exit the country when my visa is cancelled? (I'm not sure exactly when EOSB is paid....presumably after employment ceases, so after visa cancellation has happened?)
When would the new company apply for my employment permit....while I'm still employed? Or do they have to wait until my visa is cancelled......so I either have to remain inside UAE for the duration of the employment visa process, or remain outside (if I'm able to travel)? I will obviously have accommodation and pets here, so wouldnt want to remain out for longer than planned.
Is it just me or is this (very common) situation incredibly complex???
