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.
Muhammad

Hello,
I had a case regarding fraud by technical means, and we did a tanazul.
It was attested and submitted to the court, but the case still hasn’t been dropped and is now with the public prosecution.
What do I do now, as I need to travel urgently?

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount?
2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!
