Entry Permit Cancellation: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This process allows employers to cancel entry permits for candidates who did not proceed with their employment.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for employers who have issued entry permits to potential employees but found that the hiring process could not be completed. It is intended for situations where a candidate does not proceed with the hiring process after the initial permit has been processed.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this process is the clearing of a candidate's status from your company's official quota. When a candidate is issued an entry permit, it occupies a slot in your company's available headcount. Using this cancellation process ensures that these unused slots are released, allowing your company's quota to accurately reflect your actual staffing needs and available capacity.

💰What it costs you

There is a processing fee associated with this cancellation. You should check the official channels for the specific amount required to complete the administrative task.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that failure to cancel these unused permits can have long-term consequences for your business. If permits remain active in the system even though the candidate is not joining, it can block your company from receiving future quota allocations. This may prevent you from hiring new staff or expanding your team because the system still shows those slots as being "in use" by candidates who never arrived.

📝How to apply

Applications and cancellations are handled by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security. You should visit the official portal to sign in and follow the on-screen process to manage your company's permits and quota status.
