How can I remove overstay fines so that my new employer can issue my visa?
Q: I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding a complex immigration issue involving a person currently overstaying in Abu Dhabi.
His visa has expired, and although he received a job offer from a company in January 2025, the new visa process has not moved forward due to outstanding fines.
To resolve the issue, he applied to the court in November 2024 to request a reduction in the overstay fine.
He received a notification/link in January 2025 to visit immigration, but unfortunately, he could not attend due to serious health issues related to uric acid, which left him unable to walk.
Additionally, he was unable to seek medical help due to the lack of health insurance and severe financial difficulties.
He is now in a position where he wants to regularize his status in the UAE, clear any pending issues, and find a job to support his family.
We kindly request your guidance.
We would greatly appreciate your support in helping to resolve this matter in the best possible way.
Thank you

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
If an employee is put under an absconding case in the UAE, is he entitled to all the benefits from the employer?
Or does he have to pay a fine to the company as he left for reasons beyond his control without giving notice?

عرض الجميعThe new landlord is increasing the rent and the tenancy contract is not registered in Ejari. What can be done?
Good Afternoon,
I have a new owner who has taken over the building from the previous owner.
The new landlord is increasing the rent from 34000 to 44000. With add-ons like commission, deposit, and admin fees. I didn't receive any notice for the renewal as per the law (90 days prior to the expiry).
Our building is not registered in the RERA rental index. The previous landlord didn't provide us with the Ejari, but I have a contract from him.
What can be done?
I need your advice.

What can you do if you get arrested for carrying prohibited substances at the airport?
Hello,
My brother's brother-in-law was arrested at Fujairah Airport, as he was carrying 25 bottles (each of 10 Grams) of new shama kamini vidrawan ras.
This is an ayurvedic formulation that promotes sexual wellness. The ingredients help to enhance libido in men.
As he (brother's brother-in-law) informed police that my brother asked him to carry this ayurvedic medicine, as he (my brother) wanted to gift it to his few friends, as this is cheaper in India.
As of now, both my brother and his brother-in-law are arrested by police stating that this medicine contains drugs and is kept in Fujairah Central Jail.
It's been more than 15 days since my brother's brother-in-law (arrested on 26th June), and more than one week since my brother's arrest (6th July).
Now, I don't have any idea or information about what will happen and what the current status is.
Your kind advice and help will be highly appreciated.

Visa cancelled, salary unpaid. How to check if my UAE employer filed absconding?
Hello,
My visa has automatically been closed since I’m outside the UAE. But my company didn’t pay me the final month’s salary and settlement.
I submitted my resignation from outside the UAE, as the company suggested I take a leave instead when I resigned from there.
Now I filed a complaint through MOHRE customer service for the salary, but the response was that they couldn’t find any issue. I’m not sure how the company cancelled my visa without clearing the payment.
How can I check if they have filed an absconding case?

Terminated without warning for unsatisfactory performance. What are my rights?
Hello,
I have been terminated by my employer suddenly with the reason of unsatisfactory performance; however, I did not receive any feedback in this area.
In fact, I received an increment last month with no prior warning letters. I am really shocked by this decision, and during the meeting, I was pressured by the line manager and HR Director, due to which I got overwhelmed and signed the termination.
They gave me a 3-month notice period under Article 43. Also, in my EOS calculation, they only included the gratuity but did not add the annual leave pay or the 3-month notice period salary.
It’s my third year in the organization, and I am on company sponsorship under a limited contract. I want to know my rights as an employee and what action I should take in this regard.

Can I cancel the deal if an advertised 2-bedroom apartment is officially a 1-bedroom?
Hello,
I'm in the process of buying an apartment. The apartment was listed as a 2-bed, and when I asked to see the floor plan, it was marked as a 1-bed.
I was told by the agent that this was a mistake/mislabel and that the seller is trying to get it fixed. In the process of obtaining the NOC from the developer, the apartment was again listed as a 1-bed, and when I asked for it to be updated, the developer mentioned that the apartment is officially registered as a 1-bed.
Since it was spacious, it was offered as an internal modification, but the official classification is 1-bed and that can't be changed. I checked with the DLD, and the apartment is registered as a 1-bed as well.
I was not aware of any modifications and was not told any of this by the agent when signing Form F.
Are the above facts grounds for me to back out of the deal, or does the classification not matter in this case?

Can a CEO sue for defamation just because I reported his misconduct to HR?
Hello,
I work in Abu Dhabi in a non-managerial position. I got into an argument with the CEO of the company, as he was blaming me for something that was not my fault or within my control.
He then proceeded to tell me I would be written up for it. My immediate manager is on leave, so I informed him and went to HR to file a complaint of wrongdoing.
He then immediately terminated me and told me that he would sue me for defamation. How is it defamation when I only brought the incident to the notice of the two people who are supposed to be involved anyway?
Who do I speak to, and can I take him to court?

I made a complaint about my stolen money and could not attend the hearing. Will I be penalized?
Salaam alaikum,
I made a complaint at the police station in Barsha about my stolen money 2 months ago.
I left the country for a short while soon after that, but since I don't know the process, I got missed calls from Dubai prosecution and a message from them to visit them on June 15th.
I didn't go since I was outside the UAE, and when I called them back, no one answered the call.
Anyhow, 3 days ago, the Dubai Public Prosecution portal shows the person was sentenced for theft, and I also got a message that a judgment has been passed.
I just want to know if I'll be penalised for not attending prosecution, or stopped at immigration when I'm returning.
Jazakallah Khair!
