Legal status of a company general manager if the owner fled for debts
Dear Sir,
I had a General Manager visa from an FZE company in Hamriyah Free Zone. In 2011, the owner of the company fled the UAE due to financial issues.
I was not in the UAE at that time as I used to travel once every 6 months only. When I got the news that the owner fled the country, I did not travel on that visa and let the visa expire.
I have not been to the UAE after that. I want to come back to the UAE to start a business but I do not know if have an immigration ban or blacklist since my employer fled the country.
Can you please advise if the General Manager has any issues if the owner of an FZE company fled the country due to debts?
Thanks in advance.
Dear Questioner,
Absolutely, we can provide you with the relevant legal advice after proceeding with travel ban check first if your name appears on the criminal records of the UAE.
In order to do that, we have to draft Power of Attorney and send it to you to attest it and then send the original to us to be able to act on your behalf before the police stations and CID.
Afterwards, we will be able to inform you about your position. Moreover, and after you get the acknowledgement that your name is clear, you can enter the UAE freely and set up your business and we can assist you in the required procedures as well.
