I want to hire a young lady, but her previous employer is holding her passport. They are requesting her to provide an entry visa from the new employer (me). An entry visa is when she exits the country, correct? She will not have to exit if she can get her passport for me to process her new resident visa, correct? Her old employer is based in Abu Dhabi and they state this is how Abu Dhabi does things. I am confused because they shouldn't be holding her passport first of all, and they shouldn't have an entry visa to release her passport. Please advise.

How to register a sole trader? What documents are needed?

My company is located in Dubai as an LLC. We have two shareholders, 1. UAE national shareholder with 95% 2. A foreign shareholder with 5% The UAE national shareholder transferred this 5% shares to the foreign shareholder through a share sales agreement, which was notarized at the notary public in Dubai and submitted it to the DED to amend the trade license etc. This happened in 2014. But till this date, the foreign shareholder did not pay the value of 5% shares to the UAE national shareholder or to the company. Also, the foreign shareholder was not actively involved with the company's operation and as per Article 17 of the Commercial Companies Law: "2. The partner may not contribute in work rendered unless he is a joint partner. The contribution of the partner may not consist of his having reputation or influence." Under these circumstances, is it possible for the UAE national shareholder to request from the court to cancel the 5% shares of the foreign shareholder and transfer back to him?
