Q: I have an absconding case and my visa is over. I want to go back to india. Do I have to pay my overstay fines or not?

Q: Hi I have a question to ask you that my wife & daughter visa already cancelled last year and their last day of exit was 15/11/2018. But due to some reason, they could not leave the country. Now, I would like to send them back by paying whatever fine is. My question is, can I get them back again? Would they be having any ban or blacklist in immigration? Please do let me know as I have no idea about it. Thanks

Q: I have deportation and AED 1000 fine because of absconding and overstay, but I'm still in the country (UAE). The court passed a judgement when I wasn't in court and my passport is still in the appeal section in Dubai Courts. What can I do to resolve this problem because my husband wants to sponsor me and also my company has given me a paper to remove the absconding? I don't know how I can clear it from the court so I can get my passport and go finish from immigration too.

An interview-format article covering the topic of overstaying your tourist or resident visa in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. Ludmila discusses the aspects of overstaying, like fines, grace periods, exemptions...etc.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
