Right of the employer to ask for visa expenses upon resignation
Good Day!
I resigned on my probation period and my company wants me to pay AED 5000 for my visa cost and insurance. Am I obliged to pay that money?
I will finish only 3 months and I'm on unlimited contact.
Please, I need your advice.
Thank you!

Dear Questioner,
Visa fees are the responsibility of the employer and the employer is not eligible for reimbursement of the visa fees unless otherwise agreed in the employment contract.
If it is not agreed in the employment contract, you can file a complaint against your employer at the Ministry of Labour or the competent Free Zone where the company is located.
Good Luck.
