I have a valid employment visa until  November 2018 for Oman. I came back to India because of my vacation in May of 2018. I don't want to go back to my company in Oman, because I dislike my sponsor company. I want to know how I can cancel my existing visa from India.

At present, I have received an offer from a new employer in Oman. Will my existing visa affect my chances to get a job in the same country? I have heard there is a two year ban for working without a visa, is this true?

Thanks

Hi! 

I'm in the process of setting up my graphic design business in the Philippines. I'm unsure if I should go to Manila or Cebu?

Seems like Cebu is a great laid back place, less stressful than Manila. However Manila will have more work-force potential employees? 

I'm really looking to build my graphic design team. I'll love this to happen in Cebu, but I'm unsure if Manila will be more convenient to find better Graphic Designers? 

Thanks
