What to do if your employer delays your visa renewal

Dear Sir/Madam

Greetings,

I am working in a construction company which is a Limited Liability Company as a Secretary / Front Desk Receptionist and my visa expired on 3rd of May 2017 and till date my employer has not renewed my visa.

Already, my Emirates I.D. is also expired and my employer keeps on telling me they don't have the money now to renew my visa, but they will renew it. As you can see how much fines has been accumulated till date as it's 6 months now.

Therefore, in view of above what action should I take in order to ensure that my visa will be renewed by my employer?

Dear Questioner,

Please note that currently you are under a huge risk of the company falls under any kind of liquidation or bankruptcy because of their bad financial status.

You have to file a complaint to MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation) to renew your visa.
