Q: Hi, I have been overstaying in the country due to a police case and now my company wants to cancel my visa. I finished the police case but still have a travel ban. My company is saying after cancellation, I need to exit or else they will file an absconding case. There is no way to exit as there is a travel ban. What are my options as I do not want to face an absconding case? Thanks

Q: Hello. I just want to ask about my status in the UAE. I left Dubai without the permission of my boss because of a family emergency. I left Dubai 3 months ago (December 2019) and as per PRO they (employer) already filed the absconding case on me. Now I want to come back to the UAE. Will I have a problem at the airport? Hope to hear from you about this matter.

Q: Can you check for me if there is any travel ban to the UAE?

Q: Hi I would like to ask a question. A few years ago, the United Arab Emirates decided to issue an arrest warrant and have me deported back to the United Arab Emirates. The case was taken up by the British court system, which stated that due to the fact that the United Arab Emirates has a very bad history and human rights, the British government did not send me back to the United Arab emirates. Given this fact, does that mean that I can use the United Arab Emirates as a stopover at the airport while on the transit to Pakistan from London?

Q: Dear Sir I don't know about my case in the UAE. I ran away from the UAE  because my colleague did fraud with his company. I want to know if I can go to another GCC country.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am currently holding a visa to change status from a tourist visa to an employment visa. However, I have decided to go back home before it expires as I am facing financial difficulty even with my current employment. My employer is saying that I cannot leave without canceling the visa. What will be the consequences if I leave Dubai before the cancellation takes place?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My company is processing the cancellation of my temporary work permit. Can I go to my home country during this time, and will it cause any problems?

Q: Good afternoon, I hold a valid UAE employee visa (issued in Dubai). I have not been to the UAE for over 6 months. I am currently attempting to cancel the visa through MOHRE, as the owner of the company has left the country and has not been responsive. Additionally, the trade license has expired. Is it possible for me to be in transit in the UAE, specifically within the airport's transit zone? Can I seek employment in Qatar before my UAE visa is canceled? I prefer to avoid unnecessary expenditures of time and money and can't be more unemployed. Thank you.

An interview-format article covering the topic of the travel ban and reasons leading to it in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The UAE travel ban may be imposed on a person on various grounds, for instance, as the result of criminal offences, unpaid loans, breach of immigration laws or family matters. Implications of such a ban can be financially severe and daunting for the affected person. This article aims to give readers a clear understanding of what is the UAE travel ban, what are the grounds and procedures for its imposition and removal, how to check if the person is banned from travelling and other related topics.

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

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.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

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).
