10
Q: Hi,
I had a labor case and the judgment came. The company has to pay my dues. My issue is that I have overstayed for the last 3 months.
I filed the execution already in order to get my dues from the company. I requested my company to cancel my visa. But they are not canceling me.
What can I do in such a situation like this?
Is it possible to cancel my visa by myself?
If yes, do I need to pay the overstay fine?
Is there any possibility to avoid the fine?

How can I inform authorities I signed a police statement I didn't understand? 0
Good Day,
As someone unfamiliar with local laws and a non-Arabic speaker, the police took my statement but did not provide a translation and told me to sign. I have no idea what they wrote or presented in the case.
The case is now with the Public Prosecution. What should I do to ensure the authorities are aware of this?
