Hi everyone. Here's my situation, I came here in UAE,Abu dhabi as a working visa (working on one of the construction project in abu dhabi). I work for almost 10 months until such time I received a job offer on one of the companies here in abu dhabi but the project will be in qatar. I resigned on my previous company and they cancelled my visa.Now, I joined with my new company and still waiting for my visa going to qatar, my grace period in uae will last on dec. 20, 2014.....Now, do I have to go for an exit? or I'll stay in Uae because my new company told me, that they will handle the fine for overstaying. How about if my previous company knew that I am still here, what will happen? Thanks.

Normally, the previous employer pushes you to leave before the end of the grace period, and you have to show them the exit stamp. That confirms that you have left the country and you are no longer their responsibility. Depending on your nationality, you should think about doing a visa run, or a flight to Bahrain or elsewhere.
