Hi ravikcenaa,

When you exit Oman without cancelling your employment visa and do not report back to work in due course, it is technically classified as a case of employee 'absconding'.

Your employer can register you as an 'absconder' with the Ministry of Manpower and the Royal Oman Police. A notice advertisement to that effect is also published mandatorily in a couple of local newspapers - both English and Arabic - displaying the absconder's photograph. If these standard procedures have been done in your case by your former employer then you would face issues when your new employer applies for your employment visa. Else there may not be any issues.

Always when you do things which are against the rules, expect to face the consequences.

Hi ravikcenaa,

Your previous employer's actions are indeed strange. Wonder why they did not cancel your visa on your exit. In any case the 2-year waiting period rule will not be applicable in your case since you have exited much earlier.

But non-cancellation of your employment visa while exiting might be an issue. Sometimes unscrupulous employers use unethical practices and back-hand tactics like this to block their former employees from coming back and joining their competitors.

Good luck.
