Backing out of an offer while they are processing my visa
Advertisements
Hi all, I recently accepted an job offer through email. I told them I would accept the role through email but have not signed the actual contract yet. I believe they are processing my visa at the moment.
I got another opportunity for a different company that offers significantly higher pay then the current offer.
I just want to see if anyone else here had a similar experience and how did it go?
Also if I were to send an email to the first company asking them to cancel my visa and withdraw me from their job application, would there any problems or repercussions?

- Not sure if the company has actually started processing your visa yet because there is paperwork that you must fill out and return, which they will submit to MOM. Typically, the process begins once you sign a formal contract. In any case, it is best to withdraw your application if you have no plans on taking the job.
- Please also sign the contract with the new company before rescinding on the earlier offer.
- I don’t think any company in general would start applying for Visa before signing the contract. If it is an employment pass you can check it online the status of the visa. Not sure about the repercussions. If the first company is professional they will understand.
