it depends on the ticket. if it is a refundable ticket which is issued from a travel agency, you stand a good chance in getting the refund, after deductions as per airline's policy.

on the other hand, suppose the sponsor purchased tickets online using his credit / debit card, then if the ticket is refunded, the refund amount will go to the bank account which is linked with the card.

Hi @acayan_jhona86, I do not think that the exit visa has anything to do with flight tickets - if you have 2 confirmed tickets (from your employer and cousin), I would suggest you inform your employer so that he/she can get a refund for ticket.

No issues at all - 1 ticket (from your employer) will be automatically canceled as a "no show", the other ticket (from your cousin) will still be valid and can be used to go to Dubai.

Have fun in Dubai!
