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!

Hello, What legal action can I take in case the employer refuses to pay my salary and I don't have a contract with them?

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national. I want to open an online shop (Etsy or Shopify) to sell handmade items, such as crocheted goods, bookmarks, greeting cards, etc. Do I need a license to open an Etsy shop? 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 seeking your legal advice regarding a friend who was previously imprisoned in Abu Dhabi. His case there is now closed, but he has another ongoing case in Dubai. Currently, we have lost contact with him and are unsure of his whereabouts. How can we check where he is or access any other legal facility? Are there legal procedures to locate a person with an ongoing case? What steps should we take to get more information about his status and legal position?

أنا الآن في فترة السماح بعد إلغاء تأشيرة الإقامة الخاصة بي. هل تجاوز مدة الإقامة المحددة بعد فترة السماح غير قانوني؟ إذا دفعت الغرامة حتى الحصول على تأشيرتي الجديدة، كيف سيؤثر ذلك عليّ؟ هل سيتم فرض حرمان علي؟ يرجى تقديم المشورة. شكرًا لك.

لدينا عقد إيجار ساري في إمارة الشارقة، ولكن بسبب الظروف المؤسفة الناتجة عن هذا الوباء، فقدنا أنا وزوجتي وظائفنا. لقد دفعنا بالفعل حتى شهر ديسمبر. هل هناك قانون حالي يمكننا من خلاله تجنب دفع غرامة شهرين في حالة الإنهاء المبكر لعقد الإيجار؟

مرحبًا، هل يمكنني الحصول على رقم الواتسآب الخاص بك؟ لدي سؤال عاجل من فضلك.

مرحبًا جميعًا، هناك قضية جنائية قائمة "شيك مرتجع" مرفوعة ضدي بسبب عدم سداد مدفوعات قرض مصرفي. علاوة على ذلك، إنني ضحية حيث أن صاحب العمل السابق لم يدفع لي الراتب ومكافأة نهاية الخدمة. على كل حال، لقد وصلت إلى طريق مسدود في التفاوض مع البنك حيث إنهم لا يرغبون في قبول الأموال التي يمكنني دفعها خلال هذه الفترة على الرغم من أن لديهم فهم واضح لوضعي الصعب. أخيرًا، لدي عرض عمل من إحدى الشركات بعد كل هذه الأشهر وأتوقع قبول هذا العرض، لكنني لم أتمكن من تسوية القضية الجنائية حتى الآن. نظرًا لأن البنك غير مستعد للتفاوض، إنني أخطط لدفع رسوم تسوية القضية الجنائية أو الغرامة لشرطة دبي. أعلم أن البنك سيشرع على الفور في رفع قضية مدنية في حالة حدوث ذلك. سؤالي هو؛ كم من الوقت سيستغرق رفع القضية المدنية؟ هل يمكنهم إصدار قرار ضدي بالمنع من السفر دون استئناف عند رفع القضية المدنية في المحكمة؟ هل سيؤثر ذلك على إمكانية حصولي على تأشيرة عمل جديدة مختومة والعمل في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة في ظل وجود قضية مدنية قائمة؟

إنني أعمل حاليًا في إمارة دبي، لكنني بحاجة إلى دخل إضافي من العمل في وظيفة أخرى بدوام جزئي. هل يمكنني الحصول على وظيفة بدوام جزئي والاستمرار في العمل بوظيفتي الحالية بطريقة قانونية؟ هل يجب على الحصول على تصريح للقيام بذلك؟

Hello, My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go. I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me. I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment. The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training. Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale? Who is responsible for managing this process? At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit. He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

Dear Sir/Madam, My husband's family constantly provokes me and then records my every exaggerated reaction. Now I'm worried that they might use those things against me.

Hi, I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price. On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel. Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU. The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response. I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled. Please, I need advice.

Hello Sir/Madam, I have already finished my first year with my company and resigned. My employer is asking me to reimburse the cost of my visa because I did not finish my two-year contract. Do I need to pay? The cost is 7,000 AED.
