Sambro_3752

Hi I have completed 1 year 1 month in my current company and I have put my papers , now they have renewed my visa last month , I have another job , I need a transfer but they want to cancel my visa. What can I do further because I am with family here

No issue, if your visa is canceled, your new employer can apply for your work visa.

after the cancellation of your Visa, you have 30 days to get a new employer.

I got job and offer letter. It'll be 30 days of visa expiry on 28 oct , But my visa is not valid yet! My new employer told me that they've sumbit my application. My question is if my visa doesn't get valid before 28 oct , should i extend my stay time ? Can i ? For another 30 days. Or not? Pls help

If the visa is showing in progress on LMRA website then it's not an issue, if your new employer has not started the process yet then you need to visit LMRA explain them the situation

It'll be 30 days tomorrow pf my last vida expiry, My employer told that he applied it today, so there'll be time to get in processing i think, he applied it though what if it doesnt get in processing until tomorrow, can i still get valid visa after the the 30 days of visa expiry 😭

Please read my response, you need to check on LMRA website about the progress. If employer has not yet started the process visit LMRA and seek advise.

Yes i went to lmra today, my new employer told me that my cpr was under violation so i have to visit lmra, they didn't tell me why was it ubder violation, but i think beacuse old employer cr was having a offence or the visa was expired and he didnt renew that could be the cause. Lmra told me to ask my employer to cancel visa and get cancellation certificate and head to imigration with certificate for extension, after that my new emplpyer will be able to apply for my visa.

Good luck.

@logicalindian

I did not find any answer there

logicalindian

if it's a new visa and not transfer them medical has to be done again. Your employer should be able to answer your queries faster

Good luck

Good day, my visa is not valid , i just check it today, my employer taken my passport and said he needs it to fix my visa. My visa was in grace period in September and was expired during october now it was in a "visa not valid" state. My employer told me this upcoming sunday i need to sign something. Should i worry and seek help to LMRA, i dont know what to do.

Don't sign anything without reading it.  Consult a lawyer.  This is not normal.

I want to ask. A question my visa is expired can my employer renew the visa or it’s just 90 days grace period I will love to go for vacation next year

logicalindian

They can. There is a 30-day grace period, which can be extended at LMRA for up to 90 days. However, rules are subject to change, so is to keep following up with LMRA and not make assumptions.
