Q3. What is the procedure for obtaining visa in sales transfer cases?

Customers who purchase a property from previous owners against which a residence visa has been issued will not be eligible until the visa of the previous owner is canceled. To illustrate:

• Customer A purchases a unit.
• Customer A applies for a Visa and Developer sponsors his/her visa.
• Customer A sells the unit to Customer B.
• Customer B now wants to apply for a Visa.
• Customer A must cancel his/her (and family's) visa first.
• To cancel the visa, Customer A must submit his/her passport and sign on related forms.
• NO REFUND is made to Customer A. Security Deposit (if applicable) can be refunded through Immigration Department.
• Customer B may apply after Customer A has his/her visa duly cancelled. All normal fees apply.
