Visa renewal while the passport is in custody of police
1
Q: Hello
I have an issue with my sister's boyfriend (Emirati man). My nationality is Croatian.
My sister stays pregnant with him in a non-marriage relationship. He rejects her and he stops any contact with her.
One time I called him to ask why he does that. After few days, the police called me and told me how he opened a case against me. He told the police I want to kill him through the mafia.
I spent 3 nights in custody, I spoke with the public prosecutor, with a judge. They keep my passport and now after one month, I don't know what is the result of all that case. My residence visa expires, I want to solve this.
Please advise me.
Regards

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.
