Does a business partner get banned for staying one year outside the UAE?

Q: Assalam Alaikum, I shall be grateful if you answer the following query. A person holding a partner visa, with a clean record overall, leaves the UAE and stays outside for a year. The only payable dues would be his sponsor's amount. How can he return to UAE? Will there be a ban on him? Your reply would work wonderfully for me. Thanks and regards, Ali Jawad

Status of a partner who left Dubai without a proper company closure

Q: Hi. Could you please let me know, how much would it cost me to check up if there are any legal cases or immigration issues as I needed to check up for a relative? He had left Dubai for a family emergency, however, he was informed by a local typing agent in Dubai that he can't return back. He never had any financial liability in Dubai but just did not cancel the visa, and could not close the company license he was a partner at. Thanks

The procedures required for the cancellation of a company and visas

Q: I am a partner in an LLC registered in Dubai, whose license was expired in Nov 2017. I was a passive investor stationed in India and the company was managed my senior partner and MD (Managing director) of the company who was stationed in Dubai. The company was not managed well, the licenses were not renewed and the business activities did not take place. My last visit was in May 2017. The MD of the company is still in Dubai on an earlier visa but didn't get in touch with me and he's not reachable. Now, I want to start a new venture in any free zone on an individual basis. How can I cancel the earlier visa and get a new investor visa in the free zone? Is it necessary to liquidate the old company in order to cancel the visa? Is it possible for me to cancel the visa on an individual basis and apply for new company formation? Please guide me.

Is the compensation for notice period deducted on the basis of full salary or basic salary?

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment?

I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract. The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance. They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document. The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on: 1. Which law applies to this dispute? 2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above? Kindly advise.

I purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact?

I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered. Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in. However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract. What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out? What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

Changed my mind before signing the lease agreement. Are my post-dated rent checks at risk?

Hello, I recently found an apartment for rent and agreed with the agent to make payments in three installments. I provided the agent with post-dated checks for the second and third payments and planned to transfer the first payment, deposit, and agency fee to the agent’s account once the lease agreement was finalized. However, the lease agreement has not been finalized yet, and I have since found a better place. Since I have not signed any lease agreement, should I be concerned about the landlord cashing the checks for the second and third payments? Is it legal? Additionally, the agent requested an extra 2,000 dirhams beyond the amount he intended to include in the lease agreement.
