طلب إلغاء التأشيرة والحصول على مكافأة نهاية الخدمة عند الاستقالة
س: مرحبًا،
أعمل حاليًا في شركة مسجلة في المنطقة الحرة لمركز دبي للسلع المتعددة.
لقد قدمت استقالتي وأنا حاليًا أعمل في فترة إخطار مدتها 30 يومًا، والمتبقي منها 10 أيام.
يبدو أن صاحب العمل يؤخر الإجراءات حيث أنه لم يناقش إجراءات ترك العمل ولا مكافأة نهاية الخدمة إلى الآن.
1) ما الذي يمكنني فعله إذا أخر صاحب العمل أو رفض إلغاء / تحويل التأشيرة؟ أريد أن ألغي / أحول التأشيرة لأن هناك عمل جديد ينتظرني.
2) هل هو أمر قانوني أن يقوم صاحب العمل بوقف إلغاء أو تحويل التأشيرة؟
3) ما التدابير القانونية التي يمكن للموظف اتخاذها؟ هل يمكن للموظف أن يتقدم بشكوى ويطالب بالتعويض عن الأضرار التي حدثت له جراء التأخير في استلام العمل، والتي تتضمن ما فاته من راتب وفرص وظيفية؟
4) في حالة الاختلاف حول مكافأة نهاية الخدمة، هل سيكون بالإمكان عمل إلغاء أو تحويل التأشيرة ولاحقًا نقوم بتسوية مكافأة نهاية الخدمة بشكل منفصل ( حتى أتجنب التأخير عن تاريخ استلامي للعمل الجديد)؟
5) قال صاحب العمل أن مكافأة نهاية الخدمة قد تم دفعها ضمن مكافأة السنة الماضية. هل هذا قانوني؟
شكرًا لك مقدمًا.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family?
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.

عرض الجميعRequest for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1)
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)

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement?
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards?
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones?
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.

If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there.

Dear Lawyer
I hope this message finds you well.
I set up a business license in a free zone in 2023. Unfortunately, the license expired in September 2024, and due to being occupied with other matters, I was not aware of the penalties associated with the expiration.
I recently attempted to cancel the license but was informed that a significant penalty has accrued. When I inquired about cancelling my visa first, I was told that it’s not possible to proceed without addressing the license issue.
Could you please advise if there is any legal way to waive or reduce this penalty?
