How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

السلام عليكم،
أحاول رفع إيصال دفع أمانة الخبرة لملف القضية بمحكمة عجمان ولكن أقابل بخطأ: "لا يمكن تحميل وثيقة في هذه المرحلة قبل عقد الجلسة".
مع العلم أن الطرف الآخر استطاع رفع الإيصال اليوم أيضًا، وهذا الخطأ مستمر من الصباح الباكر وحتى الآن.
هل يمكن المساعدة رجاءً؟
