What to do if you have pending labour case and your visa is over?

Good day,

After completing 1.6 yrs work I was terminated from the company (the reason is low performance as per company opinion). I was terminated without any notice period.

I filed a case in Labour Department for non-payment of the end of service gratuity and all benefits. A company representative didn't come to the Labour Department after 48 hrs and is still refusing to pay the full amount.

Then I filed a case in the court, then I was sent from the court to a typing center service. In typing center they typed something and told me to come back after 10 days. In the meantime, I have only 7 days left to exit the country as per my visa cancellation.

How and where will I check for my overstaying in Dubai due to this case I open in the court and typing center told me to come back after 10 days?

Thanks

Dear,

It is better to appoint an attorney and let them proceed with the case. Thereafter, you may exit the country and re-enter after obtaining visit visa if necessary.

But before exiting the country, you should appoint an attorney in order to avoid any adverse consequences in your matter.
