Q: Dear sir,
I was working in Dubai and, for personal reasons, I left Dubai without cancelling my residence visa.
My employer blacklisted me in the immigration department because of absconding so I believe I have a lifetime ban.
In this situation, what options do I have to remove this ban?
And if my employer refused to lift the ban, what other options I have?
Can I ask for help from the Ministry of Interior?
Or can I pay a penalty?
Please advise me!
Thanks

How to lift an immigration ban after being reported as absconding by employer


3
Q: Good morning,
My travel company in Abu Dhabi reported me as absconding after I overstayed for two weeks. I was unable to pay the absconding penalty of 4,500, so I took an outpass and went home.
Now, if I have a local employer, is it possible for my immigration ban to be lifted and my entry visa to be approved if I apply for a maid visa?
Thanks!

View allA client cancels the contract and refuses to pay. What to do? 0
Dear sir/madam,
We were contacted by a large firm in the UAE. We agreed, put a contract, and got an LPO from a client. It was a 6-week project.
We started & followed all the processes, got approvals for each task as per the approved project plan, did revisions they requested. For a few items, we needed the client's feedback or inputs but they didn't provide them at all.
For 4 weeks, we sent reminders, calls, emails. No response or updates. It was affecting us; 6 weeks is over.
Today, we got an email saying they are canceling the PO and not paying at all. The PO clearly states "partial payment" is included. Our contract states delays caused by clients are their fault and are payable. We have full proof of work, emails & records.
We want to take legal action and get compensation for all work done, delays, time wasted, and damages as we had to stop other work.
Please advise!

Resignation from a Freezone company and paying compensation 0
Hello,
I would like to seek your advice regarding my situation. I have recently resigned from a Freezone company. I have a Fujairah visa. I was able to complete my first contract of 3 years.
This year, I have renewed my contract and after 6 months, I decided to resign. I've completed my render period of 30 days.
Now, my boss is telling me that in lieu of my contract termination, I am not entitled to receive gratuity and cannot encash my unused leaves as I have to payback my visa renewal and medical fees including the cancellation.
He also mentioned that I am reliable for the "early termination compensation" which means I have to pay half of three months salary and allowances. I have tried to call MOHRE but they said that Freezone is not part of their scope.

Do you have to be personally present to check and remove a cheque case? 0
The bank filed a criminal complaint about a cheque of 200.000. I'm not in the country.
If a lawyer has a POA from me, can go to the police station, find out what's the situation and pay a fine on my behalf?
Or I am the only one who must go to the police for the fine?
Also, can the lawyer ask for a police clearance certificate?

How to check possible issues for improper company closure before returning to Dubai 0
I have a company in Dubai. There is a partnership firm. My wife was very ill and I went to India, so my partners were running the business secretly.
They don't inform me about any matter so we decided to cancel our partnership. But I can't go to Dubai due to the Corona situation. I am in India for the past 8 months.
I just contact my friend in Dubai. He told me that my partners canceled their partnership in the old company and started a new firm.
Is there any problem to come to Dubai on a visit visa to search for a new job?
