Hi @Noel,

1) After your Visa Expiry, You can overstay for 30 days, and pay the fee. You have to leave after that.

2) You have to file a complaint immediately to Labour Ministry- Links are available here in different posts or you can visit the nearest Sanad office for filing a complaint.

3) If your present visa is canceled, you can come on a new visa, as you have completed your contract, no NOC is required. For any other middle eastern country, you can move anytime.

Hope it helps...

Dear sir/madam,

I have been employed in the pharmaceutical industry for the past six years. My residence card expired on 01/10/2024, and my company is willing to sponsor me for a visa renewal for the next two years. But i informed them not to renew as I have some family issues in India and have already booked my air ticket for 27.10.24. Will I be required to pay a fine for overstaying at the airport? If so, how much will the fine be?
