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

Automatic cancellation of UAE residence visas
45
Q: I joined a Co LLC, Fujairah in Sep’13 and signed 3 yrs contract. As per my contract letter, my notice period was 3 months.
I resigned on 8th Aug’15 but the company rejected my resignation and forced me to complete the contract. The company also started threatening me so somehow I served the notice period of 3 months and managed to escape from there.
Now the company is not giving me my 22 days Nov’15 & leave salary of 19 days & Bonus pending till March’15, and also is not cancelling my visa. I already contacted the Indian embassy but they failed to resolve the issue.
Can I come again to the UAE and can I do the job or cancellation is compulsory?

Q: I was on an investor residence visa in the UAE up to 2010. I had to leave back to my home country and stay due to family issues.
In the meantime, my residence visa expired in 2011 and I did not go back since then. I apprehend, there might be some problems due to my long absence.
Before planning a return back, I want to make sure that there is nothing against me in the UAE courts or police. How to proceed?
Thanks & regards.

Consequences of leaving the UAE without the cancellation of partner visa

Q: Sir,
My friend had a partnership company in the UAE.
Last year in April, after giving his consent to his partner for selling the company and handing over all the original documents to him, he came back to India.
The company was sold and was duly transferred to the new persons.
Now, when my friend wants to travel to the UAE he is not able to get a visa as the visa department is showing some problem.
When we inquired they told us that my friend never got his resident visa cancelled, and that is the problem.
So, can you help with this matter?

Q: Hi,
I have a partner visa in Dubai that expires in 4 days and I am outside the UAE.
I have no desire to renew and my local partner is asking me for money to cancel even though I have not used the company in the last three years.
I paid him 15,000 to renew the company last year and he did not do so.
How do I cancel my residency there without him signing?

Q: I opened a free zone company in Dubai 11 years ago. There was no trading activity and has been none since.
I closed the company remotely as I was unable to travel to Dubai at the time for health reasons and completed forms necessary, had them notarized here in Europe and translated by a registered translator.
All documents sent to the agent in Dubai with a POA but I was informed that they were not accepted by Dubai authorities and that I would have to travel there to close.
The bank account was also closed at the time remotely.
If I travel to Abu Dhabi will I face problems?

Claiming passport and cancellation of partner visa from the sponsor
6
Q: How to cancel a partner/investor visa knowing that the sponsor will never agree to cancel my visa, and the sponsor is ready to accuse me of stealing money in case I decided to leave the company?
I am a student and I never worked in the company. I was only added to the company to get a visa while I study. I am 22 years old.
The reason why I want to leave is that my passport was stolen by the manager/owner of the company and I have been trying to get my passport through the court but no use!
I want to cancel it and get a new passport and leave the country.

How to check possible issues for improper company closure before returning to Dubai

Q: I have a company in Dubai. There is a partnership firm. My wife was very ill and I went to India, so my partners were running the business secretly.
They don't inform me about any matter so we decided to cancel our partnership. But I can't go to Dubai due to the Corona situation. I am in India for the past 8 months.
I just contact my friend in Dubai. He told me that my partners canceled their partnership in the old company and started a new firm.
Is there any problem to come to Dubai on a visit visa to search for a new job?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
