The employer must not have previously notified the LMRA regarding the employee absence from work in violation of the permit’s conditions.
If the work permit ended, the employer or authorised person must first check with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) to complete the procedure for cancellation of work permit.
The employee must leave the country within 30 days from the cancellation.
