Q: Hi Sir,
My sister's family had to exit the UAE on 25th Sep as her husband passed away on 20th Sep.
Also given he was the main sponsor (investor visa) the resident visa of all family members had to be cancelled for them to exit and carry the human remains.
However, the family members now need to go back to the UAE for winding up their home & also children's school.
Can they enter considering the grace period of 30 days or do they need to re-apply for a new visa to enter the UAE?

What happened to the visa of dependents when the sponsor dies? 
6
Q: Hi Sir/Madam,
My family and I lived in the UAE but due to my father's death, we had to leave last year since he was our sponsor for our residency.
We didn't cancel the residency ourselves and I have returned to the UAE twice after that for visit. Now, my residency has expired; it has been expired for 3 months now and I am planning on visiting the UAE soon.
Can I just get a tourist visa and get in or do I need to do something about my expired residency since we didn't manually cancel it?
Thank you.

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?

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?
