Hi Febin varghese88,

'Absconding' as you are planning to do, is never a good idea. If your employer so wishes, they can create trouble for you, to the extent of stopping you from entering any GCC country for a considerable amount of time.

No, you cannot cancel your visa from anywhere outside of Oman.

Suggest you read the many other posts on the same subject, which are freely available in the forum.
