Q: Hi Sir,
My sister's family had to exit the UAE on 25th Sep as her husband passed away on 20th Sep.
Also given he was the main sponsor (investor visa) the resident visa of all family members had to be cancelled for them to exit and carry the human remains.
However, the family members now need to go back to the UAE for winding up their home & also children's school.
Can they enter considering the grace period of 30 days or do they need to re-apply for a new visa to enter the UAE?

Cancellation of sponsor and dependent visa when there is a case
7
Q: Hi.
My wife has a travel ban due to the non-payment of a loan. She is sponsored by me and her visa is valid until the end of January 2019.
My visa is expiring in December 2018 and I need to cancel my visa so that I can cancel my trade license, but in order to do that, I need to cancel my wife's visa.
Since she has a case against her, that probably will not be possible. What is the solution for this predicament?
My wife is not in the country at the moment. Can my visa renewal be affected due to this?
Thanks

View allConverting an unlimited contact to a limited one without the employee's knowledge 0
Hi,
I am resigning from my company after working for 3 years. I signed another contract after the first 2 years were completed.
I was under the impression that the entire time my contract was unlimited but now I am being told that it was changed to limited.
Not only was this done without my knowledge but I am now being told that legally I am not entitled to ANY gratuity after 3 years because I am resigning before my 2 years is finished. Is this legal?

Can the employee take annual leave before finishing one year in service? 0
Hi,
I am an employee working here in Dubai, UAE for 10 months now.
I'm planning to file a leave for 2 days, however, my colleague informed me that as per the company policy, they consider it as absent then I will get a full basic + accommodation only.
So I am confused now because this was not the practice in the previous company. Appreciate it if I could get free advice on this matter.

What to do if the new employer renewed my ID and visa without giving me a contract? 0
Hi.
My new employer renewed my ID and visa. The only thing is that when my Emirates ID and visa were done, they didn't show me any contract nor did I sign it.
They didn't provide me with a copy of it. So I want to ask if I can complain regarding this matter?
Thanks in advance.
