Q: I got an employment offer from one of the construction companies from Dubai after the personal interview. I signed the employment offer which I received through email and sent back. Now, after 20 days, they withdrew this offer as per their management decision. I am working in Qatar and I already resigned from my job, and next week I have to leave Qatar. I don't know what to do. Is there any chance to claim it legally?

Q: Dear Sir, I accepted a job offer letter (Only organization offer letter) and sent it by email, but now I don't want to leave my present company. I informed them today (future company) but they replied me... Quote: "DEAR FAIZ, You gave us a word to join our company in date of 30th SEP and this considered as legal contract as it called WORD SAY CONTRACT. We are disappointed as we reject a lot of candidates because of our commitments with you. I do not know what to say but I am assigning my legal department for the same. Thanks" Can they take legal action against me?

Q: Hi, I was working in the UAE with a construction company and got a new job offer from another company. I signed that offer letter and also cancelled from the old company. The offer letter was signed by both parties. Now I want to go to my country but the company is saying that there is no need to go as my company visa will be changed here. But I have to go for some personal reasons. If I go to my country is there any problem for my new job? Can the company withdraw my job offer? Please tell me any solution of this.

Q: I have resigned from “A” after receipt of a job offer from “B”. Then, I kept my family visa on hold and asked "A" to cancel my visa almost 1 week before my last working day. I submitted my visa cancellation paper along with a singed MOI contract to “B”. Now "B" is not responding well and asks me to stay with “A” because of the present COVID 19 lockdown situation. After wasting lots of time, B confirmed that they have applied for a work permit, however, I haven’t received any official confirmation from B's HR. I have checked online on MOHRE website and it shows pre-approval for a work permit. If "B" will not be responding, should I need to worry about my job and visa status? In case "B" will not be responding, do I need to leave the UAE before my visa expiry date. i.e 30 days after visa cancellation? If I stay in the country and join "B" someday, who must pay the overstay fine; B or I? If "B" did not recruit me, then do I have the right to take legal action and ask for compensation towards damage?

Q: I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me. After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me. I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions. The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money. Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.

Q: Hello, My son-in-law applied for a job in Abu Dhabi. He got the security clearance and was told by the company to quit his current job. He even put a down payment for a flat and was ready to book the flights, and then he got an email telling him that his visa didn't go through. Is this even possible and how true is this? My son-in-law is Canadian. Can you please help clarify the situation for us because we are a bit confused? Thank you, M.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Can my boss refuse to provide me with a contract after I've already signed an offer letter?

Q: Hi, I joined a new company under the visa of my previous employer from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, after resigning from my previous company. My previous employer canceled my visa on February 16, 2025, after I had completed my work with them on November 28, 2024. I have not received my salary for the month I worked with my new employer (from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025). On January 7, 2025, my new employer terminated my contract, citing that I did not meet their requirements, even though I had worked and performed my duties during the period of my employment. Despite reaching out repeatedly via email and messages, my new employer has only responded with vague references to dates.

The UAE attracts a large population of expatriates from around the world for business or leisure. It occurs sometimes that those expatriates violate the rules of their visas and incur overstay fines which accumulate the longer they stay beyond their visa's expiry date. This may result in travel restrictions, banning violators from entering the UAE for a certain period or lifetime. The UAE authorities have now announced a two-month scheme for violators to rectify their situations.
