Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer. On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025. Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date. In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress. To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Hello, I am a UK citizen. I arrive in Dubai on the 2nd of June. I think I need to apply for an entry permit, as I have been out of the country for more than 1 year. Please, can you help? Everyone I speak to doesn't know and gives different information.

Hello, My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job. However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa. Can someone help me?

Hello sir, Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order. My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

Good morning, I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years. The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids. How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation? My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response. Please advise!

Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

My father died recently. We are Muslim residents in Dubai. I have siblings including a minor who is 16 years old. My father has land and vehicles under his name. If I am applying for inheritance, does the minor need to have a share in ALL the properties and vehicles or can she be given a particular property/vehicle? Secondly, if we want the land to be in her name, and she manages it (like renting and bank), does it require an adult? Can the vehicles be transferred to someone else’s name without including her? Your guidance will be very much appreciated.

سيدي/سيدتي العزيز/ة، لقد فُصلتُ تعسفيًا (إنه أمر شخصي من جانبهم) ولم أحصل إلا على راتب شهرين بالإضافة إلى مكافأة نهاية الخدمة الإلزامية ومكافأة إشعار الفصل. أرغب في المطالبة بأكثر من شهرين بصفتي مديرًا تنفيذيًا كبيرًا. ما هو الحد الأقصى للمبلغ الذي يجب أن أطالب به، وهل سيكون هذا المبلغ معقولًا لأحصل عليه؟

تم رفع دعوى قضائية ضد موظف فشل في المشاركة في حدث دولي في المملكة العربية السعودية بسبب مشكلة عائلية نتج عنها حظر سفر، مما أدى بدوره إلى عدم توقيع صفقة بقيمة 100000 درهم إماراتي مما أدى إلى خسارة للشركة. - ما هي الأسباب القانونية التي تسمح لصاحب العمل بمقاضاة الموظف في هذا السيناريو؟ - هل يوفر قانون العمل الإماراتي أي إرشادات أو علاجات محددة لمثل هذه المواقف؟ - ما هي النتائج أو العلاجات المرجوة التي يمكن لصاحب العمل السعي إليها من خلال الإجراء القانوني؟ - هل هناك أي عواقب أو مسؤوليات قانونية محتملة لصاحب العمل في متابعة هذه القضية؟ - ما هي الوثائق والأدلة اللازمة لدعم قضية صاحب العمل؟

سيدي/سيدتي العزيزة، ما هي الكلفة لفتح ملف تنفيذ في الشارقة لقضية طلاق وكم من الوقت سيستغرق تنفيذ أمر المحكمة؟ أخبر زوجي المحكمة أنه لا يملك المال لدفع نفقتي ونفقة ابنتي لأنه يكسب مبلغًا أدنى لا يستطيع العيش إلا به. في هذه الحالة، ماذا يمكنني أن أفعل؟ لقد أغلق جميع حساباته المصرفية وأرسل الأموال إلى والديه في الهند. كما أخبرني أنه سيثبت في المحكمة أنه ليس لديه وظيفة أو مال، وبالتالي لا تستطيع المحكمة أو الشرطة فعل أي شيء له. هل يمكنك من فضلك أن توجهني بشأن ما يمكنني فعله في هذه الحالة؟ ليس لدي أي دليل على راتبه أو حسابه المصرفي لأنه لم يخبرني بأي شيء يتعلق بأموره المالية. في الواقع، كان يجبرني على مطالبة والديّ بإرسال الأموال إلينا. وبسبب عدم وجود دليل، وافقت المحكمة على رأيه ورفضت استئنافي. ليس لدي عمل وأعاني من مصاريف أساسية. هل يمكنني أن أطلب من المحكمة الاستفسار عن مكافأة نهاية الخدمة ونهاية الخدمة؟ أو هل يمكن للمحكمة أن تطلب منه تقديم إثبات للمال الذي حصل عليه من شركته، حيث كان يعمل لمدة 30 عامًا في نفس الشركة؟

(COnt-2) Given the above, I kindly request your professional guidance on how to proceed legally to protect my friend's rights and ensure a safe and documented handover of company property. (The laptop the lady sponsor is referring to is authorized by her to my friend when she joined the company on 15 December 2023) Thank you for your support. (Already our friend [----] has posted the same concern, but her complete message hasn't been delivered to this platform ) Therefore, I am resubmitting our concern; we just need the correct direction, please. Thank you so much for your help!  

Cont-1) as outlined in the termination notice. Following a recent threatening message from her sponsor, in which she mentioned filing a police complaint, she proactively contacted Dubai Police for guidance. They advised her to visit Jebel Ali Police Station to report the matter and seek assistance regarding the harassment. Our concern is that if she returns the laptop prematurely, her work may be deleted or altered, and this could negatively impact my End of Service Benefits (EOSB) and her professional record, as her sponsor has a pattern of making unfounded accusations. Here is the most recent message my friend received from her: “Good morning. Hi, I urgently need my laptop and keys from the cabinet. Send me the location, I will send CAREEM. I need my laptop and keys from the cabinets immediately. If you do not send the location to pick up my stuff, I’m gonna go to the police. Sorry, but you must return my stuff. My business cannot operate properly without my computer.” (COnt-2)

Hi My friend was caught by CID inside a massage centre in the waiting area while he was waiting for a massage. Now his Emirates ID is with the Ajman police. What will be the next step they will take?

In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban. A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time. questions: Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions? International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan? Forgive my brevity and rudeness due to 1000-character limits

Hello, My husband has been threatening that he will take my 2-year-old daughter to Pakistan and leave her there with his family. He has said this several times and has confirmed to my dad that he will be taking my daughter in the coming few weeks. We are both on his sponsorship. What are my rights in the UAE? Can my husband travel with a minor without the mother's consent? How can I stop him from taking my daughter to Pakistan? Do I have any legal standing if I am under his sponsorship?

Good day, I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case. The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant. Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure? It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount. While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation. Please help me understand the procedure.

Hello, I had a fraudulent and unauthorized transaction on my credit card, but the bank is saying no action can be taken as it happened outside the country. We approached the police, but they are saying to proceed legally as it happened outside the country.
