Q: 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!

العواقب المترتبة على العمل بدون تصريح عمل

س: لقد تم إلقاء القبض على إحدى معارفي لأنها كانت تعمل في إمارة دبي لدى شركة متورطة في عمليات الاحتيال الوظيفي.
إنها تحمل تأشيرة زيارة ستنتهي صلاحيتها في غضون أيام قليلة. إنها لا تملك أي أموال. صاحب العمل هرب من البلاد. سيقومون بإحالتها إلى المحكمة وسيقدمون لها المساعدة القانونية.
هناك ثلاثة أشخاص آخرين مثلها من دولة الهند – تم إلقاء القبض عليهم لنفس السبب. لقد وُعدوا جميعًا بالحصول على تأشيرة عمل لكنهم كانوا يعملون في الواقع بموجب تأشيرات زيارة.
ما هو الوقت الذي ستستغرقه هذه القضية؟ ما هي قيمة الكفالة التي ستدفعها؟ ماذا سيحدث لتأشيرتها (سيتعين عليها البقاء حتى تنتهي القضية - على ما أظن)؟
ما الذي يمكنها فعله فيما يتعلق بالوثائق والبيانات والشهادات الخطية لإثبات براءتها؟

العمل بدون تأشيرة سارية والمطالبة بمستحقات العمل

س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
أريد فقط أن أسأل عما إذا كان يحق لنا تقديم شكوى في مكتب العمل.
نحن نعمل في شركة مقرها الخليج التجاري في إمارة دبي منذ أكتوبر 2019. صاحب العمل يطلب منا العمل بالرغم من عدم الحصول على تأشيرات عمل.
لقد وافقنا على ذلك لأنه أخبرنا أنه سيستخرج التأشيرات قبل نهاية الشهر، لأنه يحتاج إلى معرفة ما إذا كنا قادرين على القيام بمهام العمل.
بعد مرور شهر، أخبرنا أنه سيستخرج تأشيراتنا لأننا نؤدي عملنا بشكل جيد. لقد انتظرنا لمدة شهر ثم فجأة أخبرنا أننا بحاجة إلى الانتظار لمدة ثلاثة أشهر لأننا ما زلنا في فترة الاختبار. لذلك، واصلنا تمديد تأشيرات الزيارة الخاصة بنا.
بعد مرور ثلاثة أشهر، أخبرنا أنه سيستخرج التأشيرات ولكن حتى الآن لم نحصل على تأشيراتنا. انتهت صلاحية معظم تأشيرات زملائي ولم يعطنا راتب الشهر الماضي. كما أنه لا يأتي إلى المكتب ولا يرد على رسائلنا.
هل لا يزال بإمكاننا الحصول على رواتبنا أو حتى تغيير حالة تأشيراتنا؟
شكرًا مقدمًا.

القانون لا يحمي المحتالين 8
تطرَّق قانون العقوبات الإماراتي مثل سائر القوانين لجريمة الاحتيال بنص المادة 399 من قانون العقوبات الاتحادي، حيث نص بأنه يعاقب بالحبس أو بالغرامة كل من توصل إلى الاستيلاء لنفسه أو لغيره على مال منقول أو سند أو توقيع هذا السند أو إلى إلغائه أو إتلافه أو تعديله، وذلك بالاستعانة بطريقة احتيالية أو باتخاذ اسم كاذب أو صفة غير صحيحة متى كان من شأن ذلك خداع المجني عليه وحمله على التسليم. فجريمة الاحتيال تتطلب وجود الركن المادي بالاستيلاء على مال الغير، والركن المعنوي المتمثل بالمناورات الاحتيالية.

Hello,
I filed an execution order against my ex-husband to ensure he pays child support. The judge issued an order to impound his vehicles and accounts; however, this has not yet been carried out.
Could you advise on how long this process typically takes and whether there are any additional actions I can take to enforce the payment?
I would appreciate your guidance on the best course of action to ensure my ex-husband complies with the order.
Thank you for your time and assistance!

عرض الجميعMy husband sold the house we bought jointlyand took a cheque plus 1-year instalments from me. What can I do? 0
Hi,
I am a non-Muslim indian expatriate, residing in Dubai since 2015. The first 5 years, I was on a working visa, and after the delivery of my first baby, I left my job and became dependent on my husband.
In 2018, we bought a house together where I invested AED 2 hundred thousand from my income (I have proof in the form of a cheque). I also paid AED 3300 monthly installment for 1 year, for a personal loan taken out for the house.
But in spite of my resistance, my husband tactfully put the house in his name, so the title deed was in his name. In 2024, when my kids and I were in India for vacation, he cancelled our visas and residency. He also filed for a divorce in India.
The divorce is not yet finalised, and we are still married. Since August 2024, he hasn't let me access my house in Dubai, so I filed a case, which eventually went in my favor in January 2025.
Since I used to travel on a visit visa, I left for India and returned in March, to find out that my husband had already sold the house. The new owner is residing there.
What can I do now?
Help!

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

عرض الجميعI have a case running in court and I am afraid the debtor will flee the UAE. Will a travel ban be automatically placed? 0
I filed a money claim above AED 10,000 (but will probably be above AED 50,000 if capital + dividends are combined) against someone in Abu Dhabi.
The mediation time has elapsed, 2 court sessions have been done, and the defendant still hasn’t shown up or appeared in either of those. In the last/latest court session, the judge said that the defendant is still inside the UAE.
About the travel ban, is it automatically applied to him because of the case, or do I have to ask/request it to be applied to him through the Abu Dhabi court?

Can the landlord send me an eviction notice for non-payment despite submitting an offer and deposit at RDC? 0
I’ve lived in my building for over 4 years, with the most recent rent being AED 50,000. Each year, the management collects cheques and extra AED 2,400–2,500 cash (no receipt) for management and Ejari fees.
My contract was due for renewal on 15 Feb 2025, but management delayed, demanding a 10% rent increase even though no formal 90-day notice and the RERA index did not allow it.
After a month of excuses, the manager called on 12 March, insisted increase to 55K, and threatened eviction if I refused. When I referenced RDC, he hung up. The next day, he again made unprofessional remarks, so I decided to go with RDC.
I submitted my offer and deposit on 13th March, but the management didn’t respond. The case went to the judge on 14 April he ruled in my favor.
On 30 April, I applied for the execution of the ruling, and RDC says I can renew Ejari only on 8th May at DLD with cheques given to them.
However, on 1st May 2025, I received a notarized eviction notice for non-payment of rent and communication.
My question is, what will happen at DLD now?

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.
