Q: Greetings, I am an employee working in a company right now. I have plans to kickstart a project in Abu Dhabi, for which I am going to partner with a company in Abu Dhabi in the next few days. I would like to understand a few things before I start this process: 1. What kind of visa should I consider for the same? 2. What is the legal process for partnership models in internal agreements?

Q: Hi. Could I please get some advice on the following: I own a company in the UAE, It is an LLC. I am a partner and I have a local partner holding 51%. We have a separate contract that gives me all ownership. I am sponsored through my company. I would like to cancel my work visa with my own company and be sponsored by another company to work for them. My company is run and managed by employees. My question is, am I able to cancel my working visa, be employed by another company but retain ownership of my own business? I will not be taking a salary from my business. Any help regarding this matter would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: My partner is not cancelling his partner visa even though he sold all his shares to me five months before. Now my company trade license renewal is stuck because he is not cancelling his visa. The sponsor is from my side only. How can I cancel his visa without his signature?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am on an investor visa, but my partners did not renew the trade license. Can I travel outside the UAE?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I am a shareholder in my husband's company, but my visa is under my husband's name. Can I still receive a salary from his company?

Q: Hello, Can a partner, without the consent of other partners, work in a different company as an employee? One of my partners has taken a visa under the company but is working in a different company and not contributing anything.
