كيف تستعيد جواز سفرك من صاحب العمل إذا كنت في نزاع عمالي معه

أحتاج إلى المساعدة.

لقد كنت أعمل في صالون منذ يناير 2016 ( تأشيرة إمارة الشارقة وبعقد محدد المدة ). عملت هناك لمدة سنة واحدة وعشرة أشهر. في التاسع من هذا الشهر ( أكتوبر ) 2017 قامت صاحبة العمل بإلغاء تأشيرتي بدون أن تعطيني مستحقاتي: مكافأة نهاية الخدمة، الأجازة السنوية، ولا حتى راتبي عن هذا الشهر.

انتهت صلاحية جواز السفر الخاص بي في مايو هذا العام. تحدثت مع صاحبة العمل منذ شهر أبريل وأخبرتها برغبتي في تجديد جواز سفري، ولكنها رفضت. قمت في 19 أكتوبر برفع قضية ضد صاحبة العمل لاستعادة جواز سفري والحصول على راتبي.

تقابلنا في دائرة العمل يوم الأربعاء الماضي، وقالت لي صاحبة العمل أنها ستعطيني جواز السفر الخاص بي في الثامن من نوفمبر، وهو نفس تاريخ إنتهاء تأشيرتي. أنا خائف مما سيحدث إذا أقمت زيادة عما هو مسموح لي في التأشيرة.

Please make an application to the Ministry to grant you an extension for the visa and that you need to renew your passport for the same. In all likelihood, you will have to deposit a passport as guarantee when you take it to renew.

Thank you, mam.

You mean I should write a request letter to the court?

Did your matter reach the Court? If not, inform the Ministry of Labour.

Not yet, mam. The situation is my employer said she will give my passport on November 8 which is the same date of my last day of grace period. I'm afraid she will file me absconding after that date because I need to stay few more weeks to renew my passport.

Please, mam, I need your advice what I have to do...

You filed a case in the Ministry of Labour. Go there an make an application as you need your passport to be renewed and that you should not be penalized for overstaying.

After you get a letter from the MOHRE then approach the office of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (the "Directorate") and present the documents pertaining to your labour dispute issued by the Ministry of Labour to justify the overstay as the visa has expired.

Ok madam, but is it possible that my employer will do something about me or deport me? Because she said after November 8 police will catch me for overstay.

You can pay a fine after the grace period expires. But if it is for another 30 days.

After that (60 days after the expiry) you will be in trouble if you do not have the permission from the authorities.

Ok madam, thank you so much.

God bless you.

Most welcome. All the best.
