You don't need to cancel your final year, if you haven't started the process for it yet. Just apply for an EPO (exit permit only) and leave the country. When and if you come back, you can start with a new retirement Kitas.I have been given the option of paying 9 mill for my visa before leaving or pay 7 mill five hundred to cancel my final year.
