Filing a case against the employer for holding the passport after cancellation
My employer is refusing to give me passport back after visa cancellation.
Which is the best to get it back, should I file a complaint in MOHRE or should I get it through court order? Which is the quickest and most effective option?
Thanks

Dear,
Pursuant to your queries, detention of passport against the will of the passport holder is unlawful in the UAE.
Employers cannot ask their employees to hand over the passport to keep it in their custody without the employee's written consent.
You may report the same to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) and consider reporting this matter to the police.
We can file an urgent case to retrieve your passport by urgent court order. Please feel free to contact us for further clarification and assistance on phone or email.
