No he doesn't have to leave. I recently went with my UK friend to Hatta ( 3 weeks ago) to renew her visa as she was starting a new job in 3 months time and her previous company had cancelled her visa
Just tell him to tell Hatta immigration that he is starting a new role and wont have time to renew before his 30 day grace period runs out
When our visas were cancelled a couple of years' ago we had to leave the country by air - leaving the country by road at Hatta and then coming back in on a tourist visa wasn't an option. However we didn't have to go back to the UK, we simply got a really cheap return air flight to Muscat and returned to Dubai on the same aircraft, and as we stayed airside in Muscat there was no need to get a visa there. I'm sorry but I can't remember how many days we were able to stay in Dubai before having to leave once our visas had been cancelled. The rules keep changing thouh so hopefully someone else will be along soon to give you more uptodate information.
I would have thought that your son's ex-employers should have told him what the form is.
I know this sort of thing has been asked loads. Not sure if the policy has changed recently or. It.
My son who is 26 with a British passport has just lost his job in Dubai.
As employee has cancelled his Visa and has just received his passport back.
Does he know need to leave the country in order to finalise the Visa cancellation? If so how long before you have to leave? Can you go to hatta? Or does he need to return to his home country?
And can you then come back on a visit Visa whilst he is looking for work?
Any help would be great.
