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? I have already received a new employment visa from another employer. Can I return to Dubai, or will there be any problems with UAE immigration? Please advise!

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

Hello, I'm from the Philippines. I work here as a maid. My employer didn't process my visa. I overstayed here, and my visa expired on January 23, 2025. Today is May 6, 2025. I want to go home to the Philippines. What should I do?

I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation. As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant. It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication. I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos. Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Good day. For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal. The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice. Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties. The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful. What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?

Hello, How can I claim my gratuity for almost 7 and a half years in the government sector? They said they will only give me 2 months' salary and a one-way ticket.

Hello, I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol. I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days. However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that? Please answer me. It is urgent.

Hello, We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months. The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams. Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

Hello, Is there a way out or a possibility that the authorities don't deport me and instead give me a time period to leave the UAE on my own after I have completed my imprisonment and paid the fine?

Hello, I'm currently on a probation period. However, since the environment is toxic, I have decided to resign. I also agreed to pay for the visa costs incurred. I was hired here in the UAE and not from the Philippines. However, my employer told me that he will send me back to the Philippines. Does he have the right to do that?

أريد الحصول على المشورة القانونية بشأن إنهاء العقد بسبب التأخير في تسليم المشروع لمدة 16 شهرًا فقط. فيما يلي تفاصيل المشروع وفقًا لاتفاقية البيع والشراء وبعض المعطيات: - تم دفع 30% من قيمة العقار على أقساط (في الوقت المحدد، لا يوجد تأخير في السداد). - سيتم دفع 70% عند التسليم. - تاريخ التسليم المتوقع: 1 أبريل 2019. - تاريخ التسليم النهائي: 1 أبريل 2020. - التاريخ الفعلي للتسليم المُعلن من جانب المطور العقاري: 10 أغسطس 2020. - أرسلت بنفسي إشعار إلى المطور العقاري لإنهاء اتفاقية البيع والشراء واسترداد المبلغ المدفوع بنسبة 30٪. - رد المطور العقاري بأنه تم رفض الإشعار لأن التأخير يرجع إلى قوة قاهرة (فيروس كورونا). سؤالي هو: هل سأربح القضية إذا تم إحالة الأمر إلى المحكمة لاسترداد المبلغ المدفوع؟

ستنتهي فترة سماح تأشيرة إقامتنا قريبًا. ونظرًا لأن أحد أفراد الأسرة مصابًا بفيروس كورونا وهو في الحجر الصحي في المنزل، لن نتمكن من السفر خلال فترة السماح. ماذا يجب علينا أن نفعل؟ هل سيتم فرض غرامة علينا؟ يرجى تقديم المشورة.

مرحبًا، أراسلك من لندن. لقد اشتريت عقارًا في إمارة دبي ضمن مشروع عام 2005. لقد اشترينا شقتين ولكننا لم نستلم أي شيء حتى الآن. لا يزال مشروع البناء هذا قائمًا ولقد تغير المطور العقاري عدة مرات. تدير شركة أخرى المشروع في الوقت الحالي، وكلما تواصلت معهم يخبروني أن المشروع سيكون جاهزًا خلال الثلاثة أو الستة أشهر المقبلة. يستمرون في التأجيل والعمل متوقف في الوقت الحالي.  لقد تواصلت معهم بعد ذلك ولكنهم أخبروني أنهم ينتظرون المزيد من المعلومات من سلطات دبي. في كل مرة توجد قصة مختلفة، ويتم التأجيل. لقد مر حتى الآن من 16 إلى 17 عامًا منذ أن استثمرنا في هذا الأمر وأود إنهاء ذلك حاليًا، وربما استرداد أموالي والحصول على تعويض. هل يمكنك تقديم المساعدة لي من خلال إخباري بشأن وضعي؟

تطلقنا أنا وزوجتي منذ ثلاثة أشهر، ولديها حق حضانة ابنتنا البالغة من العمر ستة أشهر. إنها تريد الزواج مرة أخرى لكنني لا أوافق على الشخص الذي تريد الزواج منه مرة أخرى لأن لديه سوابق من العنف وسوء المعاملة. هل يمكنني إلغاء اتفاقية الحضانة؟
