Q: Good day Sir,
Hope is well with you.
I would like to ask if Etisalat mobile company could make a travel ban on me.
Even if I already fully paid for my last payment before I went home, and no longer using the Etisalat data sim card, I just forgot to cut it off before I went home.
I still have the plan to come back to the UAE and pay the remaining debt of my Etisalat data, but I am worried because maybe they will stop me in Dubai immigration if they've already put a travel ban on me.
I hope you can help me to enlighten my mind.
Please respond.
Thank you.

Checking status after leaving the UAE in an absconding case
1
Q: Hi Madam,
Good day. Hope you're doing well.
A friend of mine had an absconding case filed by his previous company. He went to Al Aweer and left the UAE last year thru travel documents.
Is there a way we can check if he is banned to re-enter the UAE?
Thank you so much.
Your response will be highly appreciated.

Sending a non-renewal letter after leaving for a vacation outside the UAE

1
Q: If a sponsor allows an employee to leave for vacation even though the employee visa will expire after 2 months, and during vacation, the employee sends a non-renewal letter of her contract one month prior to its expiry date because of whatever reason she has:
Can you consider that as a run-away? Or is this a ground for absconding?
If the runaway case / absconding case is a fraud/fake, can I file a fake absconding case and sue my sponsor?

Can a company file an absconding case while the employee is outside the UAE?


8
Q: Dear Sir,
I am currently outside the UAE for one and a half months. I received a notice from my company manager stating that they are filing an absconding case against me.
They have canceled my visa. I checked the ICP Smart Services portal for visa status, and it currently shows the status as "canceled". I was employed in a RAKEZ company, and my visa (Limited Contract) was issued by the RAKEZ authority.
My questions are:
1. Can the company file an absconding case while the employee is outside the UAE?
2. Can the company impose a lifetime ban on me for re-entry into the UAE?
3. Can the company cancel the residence visa before six months of completion while the employee is outside the country?
4. What will be the status of my ban, if they put an absconding ban on me?
Thanks and regards,

View allالضمانات التي تحصل عليها شركة التمويل مقابل إعطاء قرض 0
حصلت على قرض شخصي وكريدت كارد من مؤسسة للتمويل بإجمالي ٥٠ ألف وتعثرت لفترة والآن يطالبونني بدفع مبلغ ٢٠٠ ألف درهم بالفوائد وكنت أعطيتهم شيك بقيمة ٤٢ ألف وقتها.
سؤالي:
هل يوجد سند لأمر داخل عقد القرض (الأبليكيشن) الخاص بالشركة التي وقعت معها في البداية؟
أم لا يملكون ضمانًا آخر يُمكِّنهم من مقاضاتي به سوى الشيك الذي أعطيته لهم فقط؟
مع جزيل الشكر!

Deducting housing allowance from end of service gratuity upon resignation 0
I have resigned from my current job and my last day is May 9th after a notice period of 2 months. I was employed for 4 years.
My employer has paid me a full year housing allowance and would like to deduct the remaining months from my end of service. Is this allowed? I have not been made aware that the amount would be deducted in case I resign.
Also, I am entitled to 30 days of leave per year. Since I have resigned, they have applied a pro-rata for this year for the end of service calculation. Is this allowed?
Shouldn't I be compensated for the 30 days that I have not taken?
Thank you!

مدافعة دعوى طلاق للضرر رفعتها الزوجة أثناء وجود الزوج خارج البلاد 0
رفعت زوجتي قضية طلاق للضرر ضدي وقت سفري للخارج وذلك بالضغط من أهلها، وقالت في لائحة الدعوى أنني هجرتها ولم أنفق عليها ولا على طفلي الاثنين وأنها استأجرت سكنًا خاصًا بعد أن تخليت عنهم، وهو لم يحدث جملة وتفصيلاً، وهناك ما يُثبت.
تركت لهم المصروف الخاص بالبيت وهناك رسائل واتساب تشهد بذلك قبل السفر.
ولكن لظروف مرض كورونا المنتشر حاليًا، لا يمكنني العودة بسبب إغلاق المطارات؛ ومع ذلك لا توجد مشكلة في إيجار السكن ولا المدارس وهناك مصروف لهم يكفي لمدة سنة.
هل إن رجعت وقدمت ما لدي من مستندات تفيد بأنني أخبرتها بسفري لرؤية الوالد، ولدي عقد إيجار للسكن صالح لآخر سنة ٢٠٢٠، وحتى رسوم المدارس تُخصَم من حسابي في البنك مباشرة، يرفض القاضي طلب الطلاق للضرر؟
لقد أعدت حجز الأبناء في المدارس عن طريق الإنترنت للسنة القادمة ٢٠٢٠/٢٠٢١، هل هذا يكفي لرفض طلبها؟
مع العلم أن الزوجة لم ترفق أي ورقة في الدعوى تُثبت إدعائها بأنها قامت باستئجار سكن. أنا أملك تلك المستندات باسمي وجميع الرسوم المدرسية والسكن وقد أبلغتها عن طريق الواتساب بغرض السفر.
مع العلم بأني مقيم في إمارة دبي.
