Conditions, time and validity
- Requested by the establishment that issued the offer (authorised signatory or PRO).
- Usually possible only while no work permit approval has been issued on the offer; after that, the permit approval itself is cancelled instead.
- Processing time
- No official time published (staff confirm; the price list allows 3 days).
- Validity of the result
- Final: the offer is cancelled and cannot be used for a work permit.
- Where it is applied for
- MOHRE website and smart app, business service centres (Tasheel) and Tawseel; the centre submits it for you through Tasheel.
Steps at the authority
- Tell us which offer to cancel and why.
- We submit the job offer cancellation through Tasheel.
- MOHRE cancels the offer; a new, corrected offer can then be issued if needed.
Tips that save you a trip
- The offer must match the future employment contract exactly; if a detail is wrong, cancel and reissue rather than continue.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- A work permit approval was already issued on the offer.
