Visa Cancellation Services in the UAE
Legal Support for Work and Family Visa Termination
Visa cancellation in the UAE is a mandatory procedure for officially terminating a residence visa issued for employment, family sponsorship, or investment purposes. It applies to individuals who are leaving the country permanently, changing sponsors, or transferring to a new visa category.
The cancellation process includes two main steps: work permit cancellation (via MOHRE, if employed) and residence visa cancellation (via GDRFA). It must be completed before the visa holder can exit the UAE or apply for a new visa.
EGSH, an authorised AMER Centre, manages the whole process through official systems — including document verification, submission to MOHRE and GDRFA, and issuance of cancellation proof — ensuring full legal compliance and timely execution within two working days.

How do I cancel my UAE visa if I’m still inside the country?
To cancel a UAE visa while remaining inside the country, the process must comply with GDRFA regulations. For employment visas, the work permit must first be cancelled through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), followed by the cancellation of the residence visa via GDRFA. Both steps can be completed through EGSH, an authorised AMER Centre. EGSH specialists coordinate the cancellation of work permits with MOHRE and handle the submission of visa cancellations through official government systems.
How much is the visa cancellation fee in Dubai?
The visa cancellation fee in Dubai ranges from AED 100 to AED 200, depending on the type of visa. Additional charges may apply if the cancellation involves a labour card or if services are requested urgently. For an accurate breakdown of visa cancellation fees in Dubai, EGSH provides precise estimates based on your specific case and visa category.
How do you cancel a family visa in the UAE without the sponsor being present?
If the sponsor is unable to attend in person, the family visa cancellation in the UAE can still be processed by authorising a legal representative through a power of attorney (POA). The POA must be notarised and, if issued outside the UAE, duly attested by the UAE Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. EGSH assists in carrying out the complete cancellation procedure, ensuring full compliance with GDRFA regulations.
How long does the UAE visa cancellation process take?
The UAE visa cancellation process takes 1 to 2 working days after submitting the complete application and obtaining necessary approvals from MOHRE (for employment visas) and GDRFA. EGSH ensures all submissions are accurate and compliant, helping clients complete the process without delays.
Who can apply for visa cancellation on my behalf?
Visa cancellation in the UAE can be initiated by: — The employer or company’s PRO for employment visas — The sponsor for family visas — An authorised representative holding a notarised Power of Attorney
What is the grace period after visa cancellation in the UAE?
After the cancellation of a UAE residence visa, a grace period of 30 to 180 days is granted, depending on your visa category and personal profile. Most standard employment visas have a 30-day grace period. During this time, you may exit the UAE, apply for a new visa, or change your visa status. Overstaying beyond the grace period without regularisation may result in daily fines. EGSH provides legal assistance to help you manage your next steps within the allowed timeframe and avoid penalties.
