Notice period during probation

You have not given many details.  While you are saying that you have not signed any contract, you mention that they have given you a work visa?

A work visa from LMRA cannot be issued without your employer uploading a copy of a signed contract in the right format.

Are you sure that it is a work visa or a simple business visit visa?

I have signed an offer letter with the consultancy. I am working on a 1 year work visa.

In the offer letter it says that I will be on probation for 6 months after which I will be confirmed. It also says  notice period of 30 days to be given by either parties.

But it does not say anything about notice period during probationary period.

The Article 21 in the Labour Law document (in LMRA) says that unless specified explicitly , the notice period during probation is 1 day.

Is this correct ??

To put it bluntly; an offer letter is absolutely meaningless.  Until the work visa is done, you can leave anytime.  However, if you have signed a contract on LMRA template, they have uploaded it and you get a visa after you physically leave; you are still bound by the clauses.  However, there is no notice during probation from either side.  You can resign by submitting resignation in writing and if you think the employer will create problems, send it via registered mail.
