11
Q: Assalam Alaikum,
I shall be grateful if you answer the following query.
A person holding a partner visa, with a clean record overall, leaves the UAE and stays outside for a year. The only payable dues would be his sponsor's amount.
How can he return to UAE? Will there be a ban on him?
Your reply would work wonderfully for me.
Thanks and regards,
Ali Jawad

Status of a partner who left Dubai without a proper company closure
1
Q: Hi.
Could you please let me know, how much would it cost me to check up if there are any legal cases or immigration issues as I needed to check up for a relative?
He had left Dubai for a family emergency, however, he was informed by a local typing agent in Dubai that he can't return back. He never had any financial liability in Dubai but just did not cancel the visa, and could not close the company license he was a partner at.
Thanks

Consequences of leaving the UAE without proper cancellation of employment visa
236
Q: I was with a company in Dubai for 22 days, due to a family emergency I left home and paid compensation as in the work contract (45 days salary was the compensation).
After 6 months of exit, I started requesting the company to cancel my visa and Emirates ID, but they are ignoring it. They want me not to come to the UAE again.
Can you guide me on this?

View allRecovery of outstanding payments for breach of contractual obligations 0
Good morning Sir.
I have export perishables to Al Aweer market, and this particular gentleman paid for the first few orders but for the last few he didn't pay. He said tomorrow and it has never come.
I have all the documents and I filed a complaint with Dubai police, and I have the complaint numbers as well. Now, my finances are very bad. If you could recover my money from this man, it will be a great help for my family.
I trust Dubai people and this is what happened to me. If you could get your professional fee and get me the balance, then we can reach an agreement.

How can I check the immigration status of my friend who absconded from Dubai? 0
Hi there,
My friend absconded from Dubai in 2008/2009 leaving behind a small amount of credit card debt in Dubai and also left her employment without resigning properly.
If my friend was to fly to Doha, Qatar would this cause a problem? My friend has never been chased by the UAE bank and has never heard from.
Is it possible to check my friend's immigration status?

Refund of a deposit paid by the underage buyer of real estate property 0
I put a deposit down on two "off-plan" properties. I paid a deposit on both and received a reservation document signed and stamped by the developer.
However, at the time of the deposit, I was under the age of 21 which is the minimum age to purchase property in Dubai. Lastly once the deposit was made I never received an SPA or NOC. Have now been sent a notice by Dubai Land Department on the request of the developers for Property Termination procedure. The request was canceled.
I am now trying to figure out how to get my deposit back as I believe since I was underage and no formal contract was presented or signed, the agreement is void.
