Is it possible to issue a tourist visa while a residence visa is not canceled by husband?

1
Q: I have a residence-husband visa which will expire on October 2021. But I overstayed in my country Philippines for 6 1/2 months.
I want to go back now to Abu Dhabi. Is my visa already canceled or not valid anymore?
Can I apply for a tourist visa instead? I and my husband are not in good terms for many months and he doesn't want to communicate with me anymore.
What should I do?
Thanks for your help!

Dependant visa status when the sponsor is changing job
11
Q: I am working in Dubai and have sponsored my wife who is also working in Dubai.
Now, I have got another employment opportunity in Abu Dhabi, so I will not be able to hold my wife's visa while my new visa gets issued.
I will sponsor my wife again once I get a new visa but my question is, what will happen with her current job? Will she have to terminate the work contract because of the cancellation of visa?

Is accrued annual leave paid if the employee is terminated during probation? 0
Hello,
I want to confirm: if an employee is terminated during the probation period, does the employer have to pay them their accrued annual leave, even if it's during the probation period?
Or is the employee only eligible for leave payment after the probation period?
Thanks!

I sent the landlord a notice to renew the lease 90 days earlier as per the contract. Can I change my mind if he didn't respond? 0
I live in Dubai and I have a one-year rental contract with my landlord. According to the agreement, I must tell the landlord at least 90 days before the contract ends whether I want to renew it or leave.
I followed the rule and sent them an email before the 90-day deadline, saying that I want to renew. They replied and said okay, and they asked me to send the new contract so they could sign it.
I prepared the new contract (with the rent price fixed according to RERA rules) and sent it to them about two weeks ago. But since then, they haven’t replied or signed the contract.
I think maybe they are waiting to see if someone else will offer more money to rent the apartment, so they are delaying their response.
Now I am wondering: if they finally send back the signed contract after a long delay—let’s say in one more week—and by that time I’ve changed my mind (for example, I found a better apartment or I’m leaving the country), am I legally required to continue with this landlord?

Can the debtor file a bounced cheque case against a car loan I took if it is a guarantee cheque? 0
Hello,
I'm from the Philippines, working here for 15 years. I have a big problem, and they have repeatedly given me a case of a cheque worth AED 73,000 for almost 9 years.
Recently, they filed a case again after knowing that my case was done last October. This cheque is a guarantee cheque only for my 5-year monthly car installments.
I paid for almost 2 years and have 3 years left to be paid, but I gave the person who guaranteed my car a cheque worth AED 73,000 at that time.
I don't have enough requirements to get the 5-year monthly installment car, so I asked someone to help me, but my biggest mistake is that I don't have any agreement for this cheque because I totally trust him as my family.
After delaying payment for 2 months because I went on vacation and came back, he asked me to visit their shop. When I went, they just called me and told me to get his things.
