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?

Hi I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest. My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right? Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat. Please answer me. I want to know my rights. Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know. They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

Hello, I have multiple cheque execution cases filed against me due to financial strains last year. My trade license and visa will expire next month, along with my Emirates ID. Is it possible for me to renew my license and visa along with EID prior to settling the execution cases? The trade license and visa were issued by the free zone authority. I look forward to your response. Thanks.

Hello, I came from Dubai to India on emergency leave, but unfortunately, I did not return. It has now been 12 years. Can I go to Dubai on a new visa?

Hello, Is it allowed for a company to terminate an employee because the employee refused to do work not stated in the contract?

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؟
