Q: I’m a student currently studying in Kerala, India. I had returned from the UAE to Kerala on the 23rd of March 2021. According to the 180 days rule, my next reentry date is set to be on 19 September 2021. But I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it as I might have exams. Is it a must to enter right on that date or are there some days of extension? Or anything else I can do?

Q: Hi, I would like to share my query to find the relevant answer. Currently, I am out of the country (UAE). My employer terminated me from employment and my visa would be expiring in October 2021. What happens if my employer doesn't cancel my employment visa and it automatically expires or gets canceled in October 2021? Do I get the end-of-service benefits? Please advise!

Q: Dear lawyers, I have a question about visa cancellation after termination and need urgent help. I got fired during probation and they told me to return everything immediately and not to serve during the notice period. So I returned to my home country before my last day of work (just 1 day earlier) due to a family emergency. After that, they settled my EOS and then initiated the visa cancellation. The EOS letter I signed at that time said "Termination Type: Termination by company". I was already out of the country at that time and they asked me to come back to UAE to cancel my visa but I didn't. So now they said not to come back but asked me to sign a new EOS letter but this time it says "Termination Type: Out of country". If I sign this, can they put absconding on me? Can I just not sign it and wait for 6 months to get my visa canceled automatically? They do not seem to have good intentions, that's why I need your help to ensure my rights are protected. Thanks in advance!

Q: Hello, My sponsor doesn't want to cancel my expired visa. After the 2-month grace period ends, will my freezone visa be canceled automatically, or does the sponsor need to cancel it? I have been outside the UAE for one year.
