I had a loan & credit cards in the UAE, and during my vacation, I lost my job. I still paid the installments, but  I couldn’t find a job for one year. I left and am now getting a job in Bahrain. I want to clear my loans in the UAE because it’s been two years. Can I easily travel to Bahrain, or is it a problem, as it is a GCC country? And how can I ask the bank to waive the interest amount? I really need to clear off the debt with banks at the earliest now.

What should we do if, after filing a complaint with MOHRE, the company has already paid all our salaries? Do we still need to report to work? Should we submit a resignation to avoid being tagged as absconded, or what would be the best solution? Because, for us as employees, we don’t want to go back to work after what happened.

Hello, My labor card will expire next month, but my ID is still valid. Can I wait for the ID to expire as well, or should I start renewing now? Thank you!

I would like some advice. Someone has been deported from the UAE after serving 1.5 years in jail for a drug case and has a lifetime travel ban.  Does this ban remain only in the UAE, or is it applicable to other GCC countries such as KSA, Qatar, or Oman? Additionally, is there a way to remove this travel ban in the UAE when a person's family is still based in the UAE? If yes. What’s the procedure?

My cheque has been returned. RDC informed me that I can make an offer and deposit for the returned cheque. Does anyone know how this works? They said it is different from the offer and deposit you do prior to renewal, where you wait 5 days. With this type of offer and deposit, you can hand over the cheque to RDC. Please advise.

I had some debts when I left the UAE, which I paid later while in the UK. This was in 2017 when I left the UAE. I want to check if there's a travel ban or any blacklist kind of status for me, as I want to travel to Dubai soon. I have lost the Emirates ID card, and I have a new passport number as I had to renew the passport. All I have is a scanned copy of my old passport and the visa page. What's the procedure and cost for finding this?

Dear Sir/Madam, I need help, please! My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. The police charged him with possession and usage in Umm Al-Quwain. The transaction amount was only 400. But my brother did not have any possessions; he had only borrowed money. Another charge is that he helped a friend use drugs, but he did not help anyone. That friend is older than my brother. May I know if this is also considered an offence, and what is the maximum penalty he could face? He is also a first-time offender in a drug case.

Hi, My vehicle was involved in an accident, during which another car collided with mine. The occupants of the other vehicle sustained severe injuries and were hospitalized.

I am joining a consortium investing in a real estate development project in the UAE. We need a shareholders’ agreement that details shareholding percentages, voting rights, profit-sharing, exit strategies, and non-compete obligations. Could your legal team draft a clear, enforceable agreement that aligns with UAE commercial and property laws?

Subject: Hello, My name is M. R. F. Z., a Sri Lankan national currently in Dubai. I urgently require legal guidance regarding my immigration status and next steps. Briefly: An out-pass was issued without my knowledge due to visa complications. I need to exit the UAE on this out-pass and explore options to return on a visit visa, then adjust status to a spouse residence visa (by status change). I am uncertain whether it is mandatory for me to fly back to Sri Lanka, or if I can exit to a nearby country such as Oman or another GCC country and re-enter for the spouse visa process. Due to family circumstances, it is very difficult for me to travel to Sri Lanka at this time, so I would strongly prefer the nearest country option if legally possible. Could you please let me know if your firm handles such cases? If so, what is your consultation fee and availability for an initial discussion?

We are restructuring our existing business and plan to introduce employee shareholders as part of a retention plan.

I am writing to formally seek your guidance and assistance regarding my Technical Trade License and associated joint bank account. I hold a Technical Trade License together with my business partner, Mr. K. M., who has been out of the country for the past 2–3 months. During this period, he has been unreachable and has not responded to any calls or communication. Additionally, my partner has taken an amount of AED 30,000 from me, which has not yet been repaid. We also maintain a joint bank account under the company, which I wish to close. However, the bank requires both partners’ signatures for cancellation. As my partner is absent and not cooperating, I am unable to proceed. In view of the above, I kindly request your advice and support on the following: - The process to remove my partner’s name from the Trade License. - Guidance on how to proceed with closing or freezing the joint bank account in the absence of my partner’s signature. I can file a case in India.
