0
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.
I have got another job and I need this visa to be canceled immediately or I'll lose that job as well.

كيف يمكنني إلغاء تأشيرتي للانضمام إلى وظيفة جديدة إذا كان صاحب العمل الحالي يماطل في ذلك؟



2
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
1
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?




1
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 الجميعHow can I lift an immigration ban to be able to process my new emplyment visa? 0
Hi Sir,
I am S. and I am facing a one-year labour ban (as per my knowledge, and the same is mentioned in the cancellation paper too).
Now I have a new offer with [-----] company in a free zone, but things were not processed because of this ban. They asked me for the immigration clearance.
How can I clear this?
My previous contract was under a limited term, so even the salary basis is not helping me.
From other sites, I came to know it is possible, but I still have no idea how.
Can you suggest a solution?

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period? 0
Sir,
As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months.
The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn't mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure.
So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

عرض الجميعI purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact? 0
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?

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake? 0
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?

Can the school refuse to issue NOC to me after they terminated my employment contract? 0
I am writing to raise a concern regarding the denial of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) by [----] School, Abu Dhabi, where I am currently employed as a Humanities Teacher.
Although the school has officially discontinued my contract effective July 7, 2025, and I have not submitted a resignation, they are now refusing to issue an NOC.
This is preventing me from accepting an opportunity with another charter school and is obstructing my right to secure alternate employment within the sector.
As per my understanding from ADEK and MoHRE guidelines, an NOC cannot be denied when:
- There is no non-compete clause in the contract.
- The employee has not breached any contractual obligations, and
- The termination was employer-initiated without a valid cause.
I kindly request your guidance and support in addressing this issue so I may proceed with my job application process without unnecessary obstruction.
Sincerely,
N.

Hello,
I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven't received the payment in my account.
When I checked with Al Adheed Center, they said if the company is not active, it’s not possible to get the money.
However, it’s a group of companies, and a few branches are still running. Is there any chance to claim it, or can I appeal directly to the court?
