Q: I wish to get a remote work visa, explained here. Is this enough to change my current permanent place of living when it comes to paying taxes?
Since every person is obligated to pay taxes in the country where he lives or stays for more than 183 days. I wish to receive my salary from my EU companies to a personal bank account in the UAE.
Are there any taxes in the UAE for me when it comes to salary, and will I get taxed for the capital income my company in the EU makes?
Finally, from what I understood, there is no need to get any freelancer permits or anything else with this visa type and this type of income (paying salary to myself from my own EU company). Is that correct?

Claiming outstanding salaries and entitlements for arbitrary dismissal

0
Q: Hi
I need to ask for a solution to my problem where I was appointed by the managing director and partner of the company.
I worked for 1 year in a company with their visa, after that they transferred me to another saying it's our company as the manager and partner of this company was also the same as my original company.
I worked there for another year but the salaries became irregular after a few months. My salary from the beginning was paid by the same manager and partner along with the other company expenses.
I don't know what was agreed between the 2 partners and the sponsor. When my salaries stopped for 5 months I stopped going to office as the manager was not responding.
I consulted the other partner and sponsor that I have not been paid and I will complain in MOL. But they stopped from doing so and tried to settle with me by paying only 20% of my final settlement which I didn't accept.
I have proofs of all the communications that I worked for both the companies. Now, my manger is not showing and partners disagree.
Advise.

Q: I am working at a clinic since March 2018 and got a limited-period contract 3 Jul 2018 to 2 Jul 2020, and a probation period of 6 months until 2nd Jan 2019.
Because of the employer torture, I want to leave the job without intimating. They were asking me to pay the visa charges also.

What should employees and employers do when commission-only jobs don't pay?
1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Many agents are forced to accept commission-only jobs, and then find themselves working full-time for zero pay in a very competitive market.
For example, let's say you work full-time for six months and fail to make a sale. The law requires the company to cover basic living costs.
In such a case, what should the employee and employer do?

Request for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1) 0
Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Can I get a new job and employment visa while under a false embezzlement case and travel ban? 0
Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!
