Q: I have resigned from the company and finished my notice period of 30 days.
The employer is not willing to sign the clearance paper which is needed for the HR dept to cancel my visa.

كيف يمكنني إلغاء تأشيرتي للانضمام إلى وظيفة جديدة إذا كان صاحب العمل الحالي يماطل في ذلك؟
س: سيدي/سيدتي العزيزة،
أكتب إليكم لطلب التوجيه بشأن معضلة إلغاء تأشيرة العمل الخاصة بي.
قبل شهرين، وضعني صاحب العمل في إجازة غير طوعية وغير مدفوعة الأجر بسبب قيود العمل، وقد تم إبلاغي بذلك شفهيًا.
مؤخرًا، حصلت على وظيفة جديدة، وأعرب صاحب العمل الجديد عن حاجتي إلى نقل تأشيرتي تحت رعايته.
على الرغم من الطلبات المتكررة لصاحب العمل السابق لإلغاء تأشيرتي، فقد تأخرت باستمرار بوعود "غدًا" لمدة شهر تقريبًا.
في ضوء هذه الظروف، لدي مخاوف أساسية:
1. ما هي التدابير التي يمكنني اتخاذها لتسريع إلغاء تأشيرتي القديمة؟ هل يجب أن أفكر في الإبلاغ عن هذا التأخير للسلطات المعنية مثل شرطة دبي أو محكمة دبي؟
2. بدلاً من ذلك، هل هناك وسيلة قانونية تسمح لي بالاحتفاظ بتأشيرتي الحالية حتى تاريخ انتهاء صلاحيتها والبدء في العمل مع صاحب العمل الجديد في نفس الوقت؟
سأكون ممتنًا جدًا لآرائك وإرشاداتك بشأن هذا الأمر.

المطالبة بالرواتب والمستحقات المعلقة وإلغاء التأشيرة للالتحاق بوظيفة أخرى
س: تحياتي.
أنا أعمل في شركة مقرها أبو ظبي. لي ثلاثة أشهر من الرواتب المعلقة منذ ديسمبر 2021. وهذا الشهر هو الشهر الرابع.
حصلت على وظيفة جديدة وقدمت استقالتي عبر البريد بتاريخ 24 فبراير 2022. الآن تقول الشركة إن نظام حماية الأجور الخاص بهم محظور ويمكنهم إلغاء تأشيرتي عن طريق دفع غرامة.
ولكن يجب أن أوقع على أنني استلمت جميع المستحقات المعلقة، ثم سيقومون بدفع مستحقاتي المعلقة عندما يتلقون أموالاً من العميل.
هل هناك أي فرصة للانضمام إلى شركتي الجديدة دون أي مشكلة؟
إذا ذهبت إلى المحكمة العمالية، هل يمكنني الحصول على مستحقاتي المعلقة على الفور؟
كم سيكلف هذا الأمر؟
أطلب نصيحتكم الكريمة.

Resigned in Dubai, but employer refuses. How can I stay and switch visas?
Q: Hello,
My company brought me to Dubai on a visit visa, and after two months, they provided me with a work visa. However, they have been holding my passport. I recently submitted my resignation, but they are refusing to accept it.
I am hesitant to approach MOHRE since I initially worked for two months on a visit visa. However, the visit visa was arranged and sponsored by the company, including the flight ticket.
My contract includes a three-month notice period, but I do not want to return to my home country; I simply want to leave this toxic work environment. What would be the best way to handle this situation?
I am currently working in Dubai under my company's work visa. After my resignation, my visa will be canceled.
I want to explore other career opportunities in Dubai. How can I extend my stay beyond 30 days?
After 30 days, can I stay on a visit visa? If so, how can I apply for one? Do I need to return to my home country to obtain a visit visa and then re-enter Dubai?

عرض الجميعI purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact?
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

Changed my mind before signing the lease agreement. Are my post-dated rent checks at risk?
Hello,
I recently found an apartment for rent and agreed with the agent to make payments in three installments.
I provided the agent with post-dated checks for the second and third payments and planned to transfer the first payment, deposit, and agency fee to the agent’s account once the lease agreement was finalized.
However, the lease agreement has not been finalized yet, and I have since found a better place. Since I have not signed any lease agreement, should I be concerned about the landlord cashing the checks for the second and third payments? Is it legal?
Additionally, the agent requested an extra 2,000 dirhams beyond the amount he intended to include in the lease agreement.

Hello Sir,
I am facing an issue with my employer. I work in the private sector in the UAE, and my employment visa expires in June 2025.
After two years, I traveled to my home country for vacation, and one week after my arrival, the company sent me an email terminating my employment due to performance issues.
However, I was never given any prior warning or written notice. The termination email also did not mention any notice period or other details.

Hello,
We live in a development in Ras Al Khaimah, and under our apartment block, there is a loud swimming pool heater/chiller unit that runs 24/7, producing a rattling and humming noise that disturbs our peace.
We can hardly use our balcony due to this noise. Other apartments face the same issue, but the community management refuses to take action.
What legal recourse do we have? Can we serve the community management office with a legal notice?

Dear Lawyers,
The case needs to be filed during official working hours, on a subsequent working day (if the last day falls on an official holiday), in Dubai.
With Smart Police Stations operating 24/7, how are these situations considered?
Should the case be filed during working hours, say before 3 PM, etc.?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do?
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake?
My brother has been working for a company for 11 years. In the last 3 weeks, he had an incident/accident and scratched a plane since he only had 1 person to assist him as the company was not hiring enough people.
Senior staff like him are working more to train inexperienced new hires which adds to their workload working almost 12 hours/day including travel to DWC.
The pilot said it was aesthetic and could be painted over but a police investigation ensued. Last week 3 managers and HR talked him down as the investigation concluded.
He was terminated immediately with only this month's pay and his 11-year gratuity will not be given by the company. It was not gross negligence or malicious intent, he just didn’t have enough people to help him.
He owned up to the mistake and reported the incident within 24 hours. Can he fight for the gratuity?
