Hello, Is there any restriction on a diplomat buying property in the UAE, where he works as a diplomat at his country's consulate?

Hi. One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task." He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know." After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station. They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go. After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems? If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? Please advise!

Hello, What legal action can I take in case the employer refuses to pay my salary and I don't have a contract with them?

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national. I want to open an online shop (Etsy or Shopify) to sell handmade items, such as crocheted goods, bookmarks, greeting cards, etc. Do I need a license to open an Etsy shop? If so, which license do I need to sell my products online, including UAE and worldwide? How much would it cost me? Can I keep my residence visa (sponsored by my father) and not change it?

Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a friend who was previously imprisoned in Abu Dhabi. His case there is now closed, but he has another ongoing case in Dubai. Currently, we have lost contact with him and are unsure of his whereabouts. How can we check where he is or access any other legal facility? Are there legal procedures to locate a person with an ongoing case? What steps should we take to get more information about his status and legal position?

I started a business with a partner (50/50 shares) who is managing the business, supported by my contributions to marketing and operations. After 1 year of business, I'm still not getting clarity concerning the collections and payments, etc. Money is often collected by my partner in cash mode instead of the bank. My partner keeps saying stay away from this and just focus on marketing and operation. Now I have decided to quit this business, but since there is no proper account, I'm not sure how much I should sell my 50% shares for. Kindly advise me on how can I come out of this business and how much I should sell my shares for!

Hi, I have a cheque bounce case filed against me by the bank in Dubai. The bank is not willing to negotiate at all no matter the solution offered. How do I pay the fine to resolve the case with Dubai Police while being outside the country? Will I be able to get a visit visa with a pending criminal case? I would require a visit visa to enter the UAE again. Kindly advise with the possible options to pay the police fine being outside the country. [Cheque value AED 95,000 and the fine is AED 5,000].

Hi, My wife filed a case against her employer due to non-payment of an amount over 60,000 AED. She won the case and it has been a couple of months but we did not receive the payment because the facility where she was working with has been closed already. Please advise what we can do now.
