Documents required

  • Court ruling (at any level of litigation), if a judgment was issued

    in some casescopyOnly if: A judgment has been issued

  • Certificate of the case status from the court (plus any ruling)

    in some casescopyOnly if: The case is still being heard

Conditions, time and validity

  • The worker is registered in MOHRE's system and has an active work permit.
  • There is a labour complaint that was referred to the court.
  • There is no 'absence from work' (absconding) complaint against the worker.
Processing time
MOHRE: 14 working days.
Validity of the result
Final: the work permit is cancelled. If the worker still holds a residence visa, it is cancelled separately with immigration (GDRFA/ICP), which also sets the grace period.
Where it is applied for
MOHRE website and smart app (the card lists no service centre channel).

Steps at the authority

  1. Get the court ruling or a case-status certificate.
  2. Enter the worker's details, verify identity by code, choose the case stage (struck out, first instance, appeal, cassation, pending) and attach the documents.
  3. MOHRE staff study the request and send the decision by SMS.

Tips that save you a trip

  • MOHRE lists only its website and app as channels for this service; we can help you prepare and submit it online.
  • A worker with a pending court case may get a temporary work permit with another employer without the current employer's approval; the current and temporary permits are cancelled after 6 months.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • An absconding (absence from work) complaint is registered against the worker.
  • The complaint was not yet referred to court, so the normal cancellation path applies.

Questions and answers

Can the worker apply, or only the employer?
