Hi,
I'm having a housemaid visa & it will expire at the end of May 2020. I want to cancel this visa and go back to my country asap. But I cannot go back because flights are not operating currently due to COVID -19 situation. Hence, I need to know the present grace period for my visa after it would be canceled.

30 days. Potentially extendable due to the Covid-19 situation - on filing an application with LMRA/NPRA.

Hi,
I'm having a housemaid visa & it will expire at the end of May 2020.
Am I eligible to apply for a Flexi permit?
