What are the consequences of working without a labor work permit?
Dear Lawyers,
What happens to the employer and employee if CID in Dubai takes up an employee working on his own visa with an NOC but working in a different company without a labor work permit?
The company gave an NOC, but their trade license expired, and the new company can't issue a labor permit because the NOC-giving company's trade license is expired.
Any advice or suggestions?
Please help!
Hello,
Working with an NOC but without a work permit from the new company could lead to fines and even deportation for you.
In this situation, the new company should renew the NOC-issuing company's trade license. Once that's done, they can apply for a proper work permit for you.
If that's not possible, you'll need to stop working for the new company to avoid further issues.
