Need Help On Free Zone Visa Rules

Hi All,

I am having an unlimited free zone visa from Jebel Ali. And I am going to join a company on 1st feb in Abu Dhabi. My wife is also staying with me who is on husband’s visa. My query is :

1) What will be consequences regarding the cancellation of visa for me as well as my wife if my present company grants NOC or doesn’t grant NOC.
2) Do I need to send my wife back to India till my Visa gets transferred from dubai to Abu dhabi.
3) After cancellation of my wife’s visa how long can she stay in Dubai.

Would be grateful if you help us the above issues, as it is very urgent and our Company PRO/ HR is not providing us the proper information.

Thanks in Advance.

The rule are very complicated, after hiring an person we have to wait for more then month to get the candidate on board.
Can any help me to have the full information on visa process and time required

Hi,
Please note Ministry of Labour doesn't control Free Zone visa, so when u move from free zone visa to MOL controlled companies there will not be a ban on you. As far as a unlimited contract, you can given 1month notice(or as agreed in ur contract/appointment letter) complete your notice period, cancel your visa and move on to ur new company.
From the day of your cancelation You will get 30days to change your visa to your new company's visa until that period you can stay in the country (so as your wife).
Hope the above clarifies your queries.
