Typical caseVisa Cancellation Without Sponsor

The company closed, but the visa stayed open

Situation
An employee's company shut down and the owner stopped answering calls. The residence visa was still active, so the employee could neither take a new job nor leave with a clean record.
What we did
We opened a no-sponsor cancellation package, prepared the supporting documents and followed the file with the authorities until the visa was cancelled.
Result
Visa cancelled with a clean record, and the client was free to start again.
