If you are currently on a work visa or you are thinking about applying for one, you need to be aware that there are certain conditions you need to maintain in order not to lose your pass to work in the country. In line with this, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, highlights possible ways your visa can be cancelled.
Don’t engage in work other than what is allowed by your visa
In most cases, work visas are obtained for a specific job. Your employer will complete the application with you, and your visa will allow you to work for this person or company. If you take another job during your stay, your work visa will be terminated.
Be careful of other intentions
Work visas are considered as temporary visas and are granted to individuals who have no intentions of settling or absconding. If there are any reasons to believe that you obtained a work visa for the purpose of settling or absconding, you could lose your visa.
Don’t lie about your qualifications to obtain the visa
Some work visas are only granted to workers who have a particular degree or experience in a recognised field. If you lied about your education background or qualifications to get a work visa and you are caught, your visa will probably be cancelled.
Be sure to keep your job
Most work visas are valid as long as you keep your job. You might be able to maintain a valid visa if you can find another job in the same field and get your new employer to sponsor you but your current work visa will not remain valid if you quit your job or get fired.
Don’t commit a crime
If you commit a crime and are charged for it, your work visa could be suspended. This usually depends on how serious the crime is. If you are convicted of a felony, you should just forget about your work visa.
