Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have resigned and changed my job. My previous employer is asking for an exit stamp, and I don't want to share information about my new visa and status. Is it necessary to share my visa copy?

Q: My labor implementation case is currently in progress. Despite taking several steps, such as inquiring about the bank account and blocking the traffic file, my employer has not responded and disregarded the court's decision. As a result, I requested a travel ban, and the court accepted my request. Now, the employer is actively working to lift the travel ban. He has submitted six requests to the court for its cancellation, arguing that he is a local, the company is an LLC, and he comes from a reputed family. He also stated that the highest court had declared the travel ban to be a violation of human rights and that the non-payment was due to the company’s financial losses, not the manager’s fault. However, the court rejected his request. The employer has now filed a grievance with the Execution Circuit for the Court Head. Could you advise me if there is anything I need to do? Should I just patiently wait to see how the court proceeds with the case against the company manager?
