Thank you UbonJoe, the last employer says they cancelled it and have the paperwork although it was not processed in his passport as cancelled. He has also done his 90 day reports religiously with no issue, even the lawyer we have working on it thinks once we go to immigration we will have an issue

Good day, I have no idea how to solve this one but here goes! I had an employee that worked at my last company, he left last year in July, he was on BOI visa and work permit. After leaving his employer he mistakenly thought that the visa stamp in his passport was good for him to stay until it expires in August this year, he hasn’t been working since. He is highly skilled and I want to employ him again in my new company. We thought his last employer hadn’t cancelled his visa with work as he never submitted his passport to cancel the visa and he has been able to do 90 day reports with no issue. We have just contacted his old employer today to ask them to cancel the visa and they did it last August. We were all set up today to cancel the old work permit and visa and change to our company today. I am aware he will be on a large overstay. He had no idea he had done something wrong, one of the most genuine and nicest people you could meet, if he flies out now will he get fined and will he be able to come back and do the non immigrant visa again? What are his options? I really need to employ him as he is mega specialized and great at what he does… any advice greatly received
