Can an absconding case still be filed after my visa was already cancelled?

Your logic is sound: an absconding report is tied to an active sponsorship — it exists to flag a sponsored employee who has disappeared from work — and once your visa cancellation was completed, that employment relationship formally ended. A report filed weeks after cancellation, over a handover disagreement, sits on very shaky ground; handover disputes are civil or labour matters to be raised through proper channels, not grounds for an absconding entry against someone the company no longer sponsors. That said, do not rely on logic alone — verify what is actually on your file. Check your status through the ICP smart services or, for a Dubai visa, the GDRFA, or have a registered typing centre pull the record. Secondhand reports from former colleagues are often wrong about what was really filed. If an entry does exist, challenge it: present your visa cancellation document showing the date the relationship ended, and ask MOHRE and the immigration authority to remove a report that post-dates the cancellation. Keep your cancellation paper and final settlement records safe, as they are your core evidence. If the company genuinely believes you owe a handover obligation, the burden is on them to pursue it lawfully. A labour lawyer can confirm your file status and have any improperly logged report struck off.
