Q: Dear Sir,
I filed a labor complaint against my employer, and the decision came in my favor, requiring the employer to pay my settlement. However, the employer has appealed the judgment.
I have no job and now want to cancel my current visa to join a new company. Can I cancel my visa, or do I have to wait until the court proceedings are completed?
I appreciate your kind suggestion.

الحصول على عرض عمل جديد أثناء نظر قضية عمالية أمام محاكم دبي

س: طاب مساءك سيدي / سيدتي،
يرجى الإجابة باختصار على أسئلتي التي أفكر بها كثيرًا.
(1) إذا رفعت قضية ضد إحدى الشركات بسبب الفصل التعسفي وعدم دفع مستحقاتي في محكمة دبي، وأثناء سير إجراءات القضية في المحكمة، قدم لي صاحب عمل آخر عرض جديد، هل يحق لي الانضمام إلى تلك الشركة أم يجب عليّ الانتظار لمدة شهرين بعد الانتهاء من قضيتي؟
(2) إذا تم رفع القضية في محكمة دبي وطلب صاحب العمل الجديد إلغاء التأشيرة الصادرة عن طريق صاحب العمل الحالي وجواز السفر، هل يمكنني الحصول على جواز سفري أم أنهم سيحتفظون به حتى الانتهاء من قضيتي في محكمة دبي؟

Can a MOHRE non-payment certificate help transfer my UAE visa before a court case is filed?


1
Q: Hello,
Is the following correct regarding transferring the UAE visa?
The non-payment certificate issued by MOHRE can allow you to transfer your visa in the UAE, even if your case has not yet been registered in court. Here’s how it works:
Non-Payment Certificate from MOHRE:
- What It Is: The non-payment certificate from MOHRE confirms that your employer has failed to pay your wages or commissions, which is considered a violation of labor laws.
- Importance: This certificate serves as proof that your employer is not fulfilling their obligations and supports your case for a visa transfer to a new employer.
- MOHRE’s Role: MOHRE issues this certificate based on its mediation process with your employer. If your employer is uncooperative, refuses to pay, or fails to respond to MOHRE’s attempts to resolve the issue, MOHRE will issue the certificate.

Request for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (2) 0
Cont-1) as outlined in the termination notice.
Following a recent threatening message from her sponsor, in which she mentioned filing a police complaint, she proactively contacted Dubai Police for guidance.
They advised her to visit Jebel Ali Police Station to report the matter and seek assistance regarding the harassment.
Our concern is that if she returns the laptop prematurely, her work may be deleted or altered, and this could negatively impact my End of Service Benefits (EOSB) and her professional record, as her sponsor has a pattern of making unfounded accusations.
Here is the most recent message my friend received from her: “Good morning. Hi, I urgently need my laptop and keys from the cabinet. Send me the location, I will send CAREEM. I need my laptop and keys from the cabinets immediately. If you do not send the location to pick up my stuff, I’m gonna go to the police. Sorry, but you must return my stuff. My business cannot operate properly without my computer.” (COnt-2)

How can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case? 0
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
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.

Tenant demanding more than RDC verdict. Must I pay before the execution file is issued? 0
Good day,
I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case.
The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant.
Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure?
It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount.
While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation.
Please help me understand the procedure.

I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai in 2023 worth AED 4239.00, but was not able to use it due to a visa problem.
I have constant email and communication through phone with them, and they informed me back then that my voucher will be available and has no expiration date that I can use anytime I want.
Now I wanted to use it, so I called them last Saturday, 31st May 2025, and they told me it has already expired due to the new policy.

Request for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1) 0
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)
