    Yes, you can do it but there are couple points to bear in mind.

    Numerous citizens living in the UAE are forced to leave the territory of the country having canceled their visas whereas their relatives or rent agreements are still valid. Answers to a common enquiry include whether you have to cancel your Ejari (rental contract) so that you can get out. The quick answer is this? No (providing that your visa is cancelled and that you can meet some rather simple conditions).

    You Can Leave the UAE if:

    • Your visa is cancelled officially
    • You are going through the grace period (normally 30 days after cancellation)
    • There are no fines, debts, police cases against of you
    • Your DEWA and electricity bills are paid and current

    You need not cancel your Ejari when leaving the UAE as long as the conditions listed above are satisfied.

    Do You Need to Cancel Ejari Before Leaving?

    Not necessarily. Ejari is just a lease contract- it does not affect your residence status. Even in the following situations, you are able to depart the United Arab Emirates:

    • The Ejari still exists
    • You have not yet left the house (e.g. your spouse and children are back)
    • You are still under your grace period visa

    When Should You Cancel Ejari?

    The Ejari should be cancelled only in case:

    • You are moving out of the premise permanently
    • No rent and utility fees exist
    • No litigious claims are present
    • Telecom accounts including any loans that are on you name are closed or paid off

    What Is the Grace Period After Visa Cancellation?

    When you are cancelled on your UAE visa, you are given a grace period of 30 days (other times 28 days according to the authority). BONK: At this time:

    • You will be allowed to reside in the UAE legally.
    • You are not required to have an exit permit in case your previous employer asks you to do so.
    • To prevent the overstay fines you have to leave prior to expiry of the grace period.

    Note: It is better to check your grace period again through ICP Smart Services or GDRFA.

    What If Your Family Stays in the UAE?


    When your children and spouses are left at home temporarily:

    • Their immigration permits to reside are not expired yet
    • In case their visas have been cancelled too, they also need to leave accordingly within their grace periods
    • There is nothing wrong to leave DEWA, internet and other services connected but every bill should be paid

    Provided that you were the sponsor, your dependents may not only have lost their visa but also yours as well. Confirm their visa status with ICP (im clearing and checkpoint) immigration.
