Q: Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I'm a resident of Singapore holding an Indian passport and just a job offer from a company called [--------] in Dubai. In the offer, they've mentioned:
"Newly recruited foreign expatriate employees to join our team are bound to process & obtain 3-year valid U.A.E Residence Visa & Work Permit before joining with our work team on the resumption date. U.A.E Residence Visa and Work Permit are valid only for 3 years (renewable) for employees in Free Zone.
Any Employee who accepts this offer shall contact this Logistics Agency [--------] travel agency & pay all expenses for processing, procurement & acquisition of their UAE Residence Visa & work permit's clearance papers from Ministry of Interior. The employer shall reimburse all expenses upon employee arrival in the UAE."
Is it ok if I pay all the expenses for the UAE Residence Visa/Work permits?
I thought normally Dubai firm shall bear visa expenses.
Thanks

The fraudsters allegedly post jobs online or even on reputable websites like #Monster.com or #Naukrigulf.com with too good to be true salaries and unbelievable benefits. Then WITHOUT an interview or fake telephone call interview (which is never done for real jobs in the UAE) provides an offer letter which includes the names and logos of the employer with or without the UAE Embassy stamp and then asks you to pay processing or visa fee to a travel company or exchange companies. BEWARE!

I want to resign and file a case against the employer for cutting down salaries
Hi,
I am working as an Engineer in a free zone company in Studio City, Dubai, since 2019 till date. My visa is issued in Abu Dhabi.
From March 2020, they cut down my salary & issued a letter stating that my salary has been cut down from April-20 to Aug-20 by 25%.
But even after August 20, they did not only pay me my initial salary but my salary was cut down a lot more and irregular.
The total pending is about AED 95,000+ to be received to date. Also, the company did not pay for insurance renewal and I was forced to take my own medical insurance for myself & to sponsor my wife's visa & insurance.
I have decided to resign and cancel my visa immediately due to a new job offer.
Is it better to raise the case while on their visa or after changing their visa?
Within how many days should I raise a case after changing my visa and cancelling my work permit?
Kindly provide your opinion on how to proceed.
What are the chances that I get my pending salaries in full and gratuity?
