I am currently working in the UAE and my wife is under my sponsorship (dependent visa). I want to cancel my visa and change jobs. Will this affect her visa status? How can I change my job without canceling her visa?

Yes, since your wife is under your sponsorship, you cannot cancel your visa directly without first canceling hers. But there is a legal solution to avoid canceling her visa during your transition:

✅ Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Hold your wife’s visa by paying a refundable deposit of AED 5,400.

  2. Once her visa is on hold, you will get 60 days to:

    • Cancel your current visa,

    • Complete your new visa process, and

    • Add your wife again under your new visa sponsorship.

  3. After you add her under your new sponsorship, AED 5,026 will be refunded from the deposit.

🔄 This method ensures that your wife’s visa remains valid while you change jobs, without requiring her visa to be canceled.
