Document background
The Exit Letter From Employer is a mandatory document under UAE labor regulations, required when an employment relationship ends and the employee wishes to transition to new employment within the UAE. This document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the amicable termination of employment, verifies settlement of all dues, and provides explicit permission for the employee to seek new employment opportunities. The Exit Letter is particularly crucial in the UAE context due to visa sponsorship requirements and labor mobility regulations. It must comply with UAE Federal Labor Law requirements and is often required by immigration authorities, new employers, and free zone authorities. The document's format and content should align with MOHRE guidelines while addressing specific circumstances such as visa status, non-compete provisions, and transfer approvals where applicable.
