Issuing an experience certificate while the visa was not issued by the current employer
3
Q: I am a doctor in Dubai. I joined a clinic from April 2019 to date. When I joined the clinic in April 2019, my visa was not renewed with the new clinic because I had already a valid visa with another company and I was not able to cancel my visa as that company was sealed and closed.
The visa was changed only in January 2020 after the previous company cleared all their dues.
Now I asked my current employer to issue me an employment letter/experience certificate for my CV/profile update (On Dataflow). HR has issued me a letter with dates from January 2020 to date, but my actual experience is from April 2019 to today.
The employer says that this experience certificate can be used as a legal document to file a case against them that I worked without their visa from April 2019 to January 2020.
Can you please guide me if this experience letter (for the purpose of my CV and Dataflow) has any legal consequences?
And what can we do in this situation?
I will greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Should I pay the visa charges when I get a job offer from the UAE?
1
Q: Hi,
I got a job flying job offer who can apply with low hours from Linkedin and I sent my CV and they called for a Skype interview. It was a 12-min interview.
They said for the type rating I have to pay 40% and the company pay 60%. After 6 days, I got a mail by saying I have been selected. They sent me the offer and description.
That particular company has a website and mentioned an address too. Its a private jet charter airline. Yesterday I got the offer and said to me to come on 15th February.
They said to come with a tourist visa and once I come to Dubai, they will issue a work permit.
I just want to know if the company is real and if they offer me a job, they should provide me with a working visa before entering the country, right?

The fraudsters allegedly post jobs online or even on reputable websites like #Monster.com or #Naukrigulf.com with too good to be true salaries and unbelievable benefits. Then WITHOUT an interview or fake telephone call interview (which is never done for real jobs in the UAE) provides an offer letter which includes the names and logos of the employer with or without the UAE Embassy stamp and then asks you to pay processing or visa fee to a travel company or exchange companies. BEWARE!
