Hello, Is there any restriction on a diplomat buying property in the UAE, where he works as a diplomat at his country's consulate?

Hi. One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task." He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know." After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station. They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go. After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems? If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? Please advise!

Hello, What legal action can I take in case the employer refuses to pay my salary and I don't have a contract with them?

I currently live in Sharjah and have a UAE residence visa but I am not a UAE or GCC national. I want to open an online shop (Etsy or Shopify) to sell handmade items, such as crocheted goods, bookmarks, greeting cards, etc. Do I need a license to open an Etsy shop? If so, which license do I need to sell my products online, including UAE and worldwide? How much would it cost me? Can I keep my residence visa (sponsored by my father) and not change it?

Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a friend who was previously imprisoned in Abu Dhabi. His case there is now closed, but he has another ongoing case in Dubai. Currently, we have lost contact with him and are unsure of his whereabouts. How can we check where he is or access any other legal facility? Are there legal procedures to locate a person with an ongoing case? What steps should we take to get more information about his status and legal position?

I have an unpaid loan from a bank of around AED 48000 and a credit card from finance of AED 9000 unpaid. Is there any chance to travel to GCC countries and Qatar?

Greetings, I have a rental case opened against me due to failed rent payments and bounced cheques with the flat since August 2021 based on failed business. I had received a court order and a fixed amount to pay the amount in 5 installments. After that, I lost my job. And after contacting a typing center on my rental dispute case, I learned I have a travel ban and an arrest warrant. Even though I had the intention to pay, I had gone to the management with half the amount earlier before the enforcement case was opened and they refused negotiation. Until now, I haven't been able to secure a job because I can't get a cancellation from my previous company and I don't have better means to pay the initial amount requested for the first installment. Please, what can I do to at least get my name off the system to find a new job? And how much out of AED 35,000 must I fulfill to lift the ban or arrest warrant while I settle the balance instrumentally? Thanks.

Hello/Salam I am a British citizen with a UK passport and married a UAE resident with a Pakistani passport in March 2020. Due to Covid restrictions, I could not see my wife until travel re-opened. At this time, I tried to apply for a UK spouse visa for my wife, but it was not approved on Jan 21. I then waited for things to re-open and visited my wife on Nov 21 and decided to move ahead with our Rukhsati and Walima in Jan 2022. I then applied for her UK visit visa, but again it was not approved. I then traveled to Dubai in Mar 2022 to live in Dubai with my wife, but she did not see me, has not responded to my messages or calls, and blocked me on social media. I was able to see her family but they were very disrespectful to me and threw me out of their house. I have returned to the UK now. What can I do to approach the UAE authorities that my wife's family has defrauded me, taken all the gifts and gold, and are now ignoring us? Please advise what can I do to save my marriage? Thanks/Jzk

Hello, Please help, I was not able to pay my loan within 3 months for the amount of 841 monthly, because I had to undergo a major caesarian operation. The balance amount of my loan is only like 17 thousand, and the bank deposited the 40,400 security cheque on my account so it will be bounced. I can arrange the overdue balance, but the fines of the bounced cheque they raised are giving me a heavy load to settle. They keep adding interest on my payment since before, even when I'm paying monthly regularly. Please help and advise. They said they will proceed to court. The interest is giving me too much heavy financial crisis.

Hello Experts, I need your kind advice regarding my loan. I had a loan of 250k and a credit card of 13k with a bank. When I left the UAE in March-20, my cumulative outstanding of both was 160k. Since then, I'm in Pakistan and hasn't come back to the UAE The bank has bounced security cheques and filed criminal cases. Now I have a job offer from Dubai and they already applied for my employment visa. Meanwhile, I'm negotiating with the bank for a one-shot settlement over the telephone. They are asking me to pay 112k one payment for the full and final settlement of both liabilities. They have waived off all the interest and just asking the principal amount in this way. Please advise if 112k is a good deal considering the situation or I should have to get more discount. Also, advise how should I go forward with them (they said, they'll issue a settlement letter/new offer letter, after which I'll submit the payment and then within 2 weeks they'll withdraw the criminal case).
