Getting a job offer while the employer refuses resignation. What to do?

I have been working in a company in Ajman for the last 4 years. My labor contact is limited. It will finish on 19th January 2022.

Now I got a job offer letter from a Dubai-based company with a 1 month notice period. I sent a resignation letter yesterday for the 23rd December, but they refused and asked me to stay for 2 months more.

I have to join the new company on 25th December. What to do?

Greetings.

Thank you for your query!

Please note that resignation during a limited-term contract will enable your employer to place an employment ban upon your records which might not allow you to work for one year.

It is recommended to finish your limited-term contract to prevent the ban from taking place.
