Hello, Is there any restriction on a diplomat buying property in the UAE, where he works as a diplomat at his country's consulate?

Hi. One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task." He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know." After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station. They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go. After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems? If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? Please advise!

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national.

If so, which license do I need to sell my products online, including UAE and worldwide? How much would it cost me? Can I keep my residence visa (sponsored by my father) and not change it?

Hello, I am a manager of an LLC company with 25% share. In February 2003, a partner joined the company with a 25% share. After two months, he didn’t like the company and left. After two years, we did not know where he was. We just heard that he left to Tunisia before his visa expired. What to do with his 25% share, please?

Hello, Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent? Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile. I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.

مرحبًا، لقد وقّعت على شرط عدم المنافسة (بموجب عقد غير محدد المدة) مع الشركة التي كنت أعمل بها سابقًا. ولكنهم قاموا بإنهاء خدمتي بعد العمل معهم لمدة ثمان سنوات. لقد انضممت في الوقت الحالي للعمل لدى أحد المنافسين نظرًا لعدم وجود وظيفة أخرى متاحة في السوق. ولكن بعد مرور سبعة أشهر، رفعت الشركة السابقة قضية ضدي للمطالبة بتعويض حيث أنني أشغل منصبًا مماثلًا وفي نفس المنطقة. ما هي سبل الانتصاف القانوني المتاحة؟

لديّ شركة صغيرة يعمل بها أربعة أشخاص. سيترك العمل أحد أقدم الموظفين الذين عملوا معي على مدار 11 عامًا. إنه يتعامل مع 80٪ من عملاء الشركة ويتولى معظم الأعمال. أعلّم أنه سيفتح شركته، لكن ليس لديّ دليل على ذلك. لا أريد أن أؤذيه، لكنني أريد حماية عملائي. هل يجوز لي قانونًا إجباره على توقيع عقد يمنعه من التواصل مع عملائي في المستقبل القريب؟ إذا كانت الإجابة بنعم، فما هي الإجراءات الواجب اتخاذها؟ هل يجب عليّ اللجوء إلى كاتب العدل حتى يكون هذا العقد ساري المفعول؟
