2
Q: Hello,
For one year I have had a 5-year visa (I have to be in the UAE every 180 days) under the old visa rules as I bought a property for AED 11,000,000 last year.
Can I change my current visa to the 10-year golden visa (which lets you be absent from the UAE for longer than 180 consecutive days)?
Because the new rules state that the property has to be AED 2,000,000 for the golden visa.

I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai. Can I claim compensation? 0
I believe I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai.
The sales manager strongly emphasized that the unit had a lagoon view and Burj Khalifa from the side, which was a key factor in my decision.
This lagoon view was even shown on their internal sales system, but it was never written into the official Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
After the handover, I discovered the apartment has no such view. I have supporting evidence, including WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and brochures that clearly mention the lagoon view.
This misrepresentation caused me financial loss, since when I tried to resell, the value was much lower without the promised view.
My questions are: based on these facts, do I have a strong legal case for misrepresentation?
Can I realistically claim compensation or a partial refund?
What steps and documents are required to evaluate the case properly?
Also, would like to know an estimate of the cost and expected time for such proceedings.

I I left the UAE with some debts and I paid later while in the UK. How to check my status before visiting Dubai? 0
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?

My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. What is the maximum penalty he could face? 0
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.

The company paid our salaries after we stopped work and filed a complaint in MOHRE. Do we still need to report to work? 0
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.
