However, my boss said that I need to continue going to work because my Emirates ID indicates that my visa expires on October 12.
She threatened to take me to court if I do not comply. Which one should I follow?
Thank you!

Canceling visa and labor card for new job during ongoing labor case


3
Q: Dear Sir/Ma’am,
I hope all is well with you, and I trust you can assist me in this situation.
I was employed by a private company before I resigned, and my last working day was on September 30. The issue is that they do not want to cancel my employment and provide my gratuity and settlement.
Additionally, my labor card expired on October 6, 2023; will I incur fines for this?
I filed a court case last November, and its second hearing is scheduled for December 26. I have already obtained an NOC from Al Adheed Center.
Recently, I received an offer letter from a free zone, and they are prepared to issue me an employment visa. My current visa is set to expire on December 26, 2023.
Can I personally process the cancellation of my visa and labor card so that the Free Zone company can legally proceed on my behalf while my case is ongoing?
Thank you!

I am working in Abu Dhabi, and my residence visa and work permit will expire next week. For personal reasons, my supervisor says he will not renew my visa and has no intention of submitting a termination letter for my contract.
My question is: what happens next if my employer does not renew my visa or provide me with a termination letter?
I am still reporting to work daily and fulfilling my duties.
Thanks in advance & Best Regards,

I have a doubt that my work permit contract is going to finish by the end of this month, but my Emirates ID and visa expire only on June 8th.

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.
