Q: Assalam Alaikum Mr Mohamed. My name is G., and I am residing in Dubai married and living with my husband. I did my medical for employment visa and unfortunately, my medical report is unfit due to an old TB scar. Now if I leave the county, the Dubai government will impose a ban on me. Since I want to live with my husband and he is ready to sponsor a visa for me, is there any legal way that I can stay in Dubai with the government permission and not getting ban for 1 year or a lifetime? Kindly help me to resolve this issue as we both are new to the country and no one is guiding us properly. We are very helpless. Please, it's a request. I will wait for your reply.

Q: Can I get a UAE visa if I've had syphilis but received treatment? Adequately treated with one dose of Benzathine Penicillin in 2020. No longer infectious.

Q: I got a work permit and moved to the UAE. I had a work permit for 2 months, which was supposed to be changed to residency. But I got medically unfit, and the company off-boarded me the same day. They gave me a grace period of 15 days before cancelling the visa. In these 15 days, I have managed to get my test redone and am in the process now. Can I ask my agency to let me stay till I get my reports updated, and not to cancel the visa as it's already in the legal limits? I entered on 2 March, so my visa expired on 2 May. I have taken 1 test and the results are due by the next two weeks (between 14 April and 21 April). Can I ask them to hold the cancellation because I am pretty sure my reports will be revised?

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.
