Hi iancris28,

Yes, for employment visas to be renewed a one-month grace period is granted, by law.

The daily fine becomes applicable only post the expiry of this grace period. And also, the penalty goes to the government's coffers and not to any private individual or organisation.

Paying the penalty to the employer is unheard of. Am not sure what kind of an arrangement you have with your last employer. Whatever it is, it is obviously not something official, formal, or legal. So tread with caution.

Finally, I trust you have your last employer's NOC in hand. And, some confirmation from your new employer that your new employment visa would indeed be ready soon.
