Hi,
My employer has left the country due to financial difficulties. My question is: What happens in case I wish to leave the country for some family reasons? Can I go and cancel my residence visa (valid till Nov 2017) on my own, even if the employer is not there in the country? Or do I need his presence to cancel my visa? Can I be restricted from moving out simply because he has left the country? Finally, do I even need to cancel the visa personally, or I simply have to exit the country (as I have valid visa and passport) and it shall stand cancelled automatically in case I don't come back within 6 months?
Thanks in anticipation
