Q: Hello,
I really need help getting an accurate answer to this simple question because I keep getting different opinions!
My dad had an investor visa in Dubai/UAE. His investor visa EXPIRED last year. His lawyer completed an official cancelation after the expiry.
My dad had sponsored me under his visa (I had a residency visa; NOT a work visa). I was out of Dubai when our visas expired. Since my dad has done an official cancelation on his visa after expiry, do I need to do anything on my end?
Can I now enter the UAE with an on-arrival visa as a Canadian citizen or do I need to take an additional step before entering? And If so, do you guys offer services to help me with that?
Thank you!

Checking visa status after exiting the UAE for more than six months

Q: I was on an investor residence visa in the UAE up to 2010. I had to leave back to my home country and stay due to family issues.
In the meantime, my residence visa expired in 2011 and I did not go back since then. I apprehend, there might be some problems due to my long absence.
Before planning a return back, I want to make sure that there is nothing against me in the UAE courts or police. How to proceed?
Thanks & regards.

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

Is it possible?
How long will it take for his release and court order?

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?

Can we give a salary certificate to a new hired employee before he starts to open a bank account? 0
Dear lawyers,
The new employee will start on June 1, 2025. However, he would like to open a new bank account in the UAE thus asking to provide the salary certificate mentioning his salary in AED and if possible not mentioning the start date.
Legally, can the company provide such a certificate?
