What happens if my work permit is not cancelled after I leave?
When an employee leaves, unfinished permit paperwork becomes the next employer's problem.
Close out properly: After the contract ends, the work permit and residence status need their own follow-up steps.
Downstream effect: An unresolved status can mean extra explanations and corrections in the next application.
Employee check: Confirm your own residence document status so it does not run past its validity.
What most people miss: Everyone schedules the approval. Almost nobody schedules the ending.
Local rules vary. Confirm current requirements with the authority before filing; outcomes rest with the authorities. This page summarises public information and hands-on experience.
