Q: Hi Ibrahim, Hoping you can be of assistance. If a candidate who has a residence visa has a scar on his lung from smoking or TB, will he be deported if the scar is found on an X-Ray when changing positions? Will MoHRE issue an automatic employment ban to a candidate who leaves a company during his probation? (Unlimited contract) Best regards

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.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

By this Decree Ministry of Labour of the UAE has removed the six-month labour ban for those who changed the job before completing two years of service. Labour ban will be still applicable for workers that qualify for skill level 4 and 5 under various circumstances.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
