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?

Visa cancellation as a partner and obtaining a new employment
12
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.

Is accrued annual leave paid if the employee is terminated during probation? 0
Hello,
I want to confirm: if an employee is terminated during the probation period, does the employer have to pay them their accrued annual leave, even if it's during the probation period?
Or is the employee only eligible for leave payment after the probation period?
Thanks!

I sent the landlord a notice to renew the lease 90 days earlier as per the contract. Can I change my mind if he didn't respond? 0
I live in Dubai and I have a one-year rental contract with my landlord. According to the agreement, I must tell the landlord at least 90 days before the contract ends whether I want to renew it or leave.
I followed the rule and sent them an email before the 90-day deadline, saying that I want to renew. They replied and said okay, and they asked me to send the new contract so they could sign it.
I prepared the new contract (with the rent price fixed according to RERA rules) and sent it to them about two weeks ago. But since then, they haven’t replied or signed the contract.
I think maybe they are waiting to see if someone else will offer more money to rent the apartment, so they are delaying their response.
Now I am wondering: if they finally send back the signed contract after a long delay—let’s say in one more week—and by that time I’ve changed my mind (for example, I found a better apartment or I’m leaving the country), am I legally required to continue with this landlord?

Can the debtor file a bounced cheque case against a car loan I took if it is a guarantee cheque? 0
Hello,
I'm from the Philippines, working here for 15 years. I have a big problem, and they have repeatedly given me a case of a cheque worth AED 73,000 for almost 9 years.
Recently, they filed a case again after knowing that my case was done last October. This cheque is a guarantee cheque only for my 5-year monthly car installments.
I paid for almost 2 years and have 3 years left to be paid, but I gave the person who guaranteed my car a cheque worth AED 73,000 at that time.
I don't have enough requirements to get the 5-year monthly installment car, so I asked someone to help me, but my biggest mistake is that I don't have any agreement for this cheque because I totally trust him as my family.
After delaying payment for 2 months because I went on vacation and came back, he asked me to visit their shop. When I went, they just called me and told me to get his things.
