UAE Visa: Can You Leave Without Cancelling It?

Yes, you can leave the UAE and travel to another country without canceling your visa if your visa is still valid. However, there are important considerations:

1. Residence Visa: If you leave the UAE for more than six months continuously without returning, your residence visa may automatically become invalid.

2. Employment Visa: If you plan to leave the UAE permanently or for an extended period, ensure your employer is informed, as they might cancel your visa. Not doing so could lead to fines or a ban.

3. Visit or Tourist Visa: You can leave the UAE and travel to another country without canceling your visa, provided it has not expired or exceeded the permitted stay.

4. Re-Entry: Check if there are specific re-entry requirements tied to your visa type to avoid complications upon returning.

Always confirm the rules with UAE immigration authorities or your sponsor to ensure compliance.
