3
Q: I have received a letter of appointment from a company in Fujairah via mail without any interview, neither personal nor telephonic.
The selection has been based on my CV posted in one of the leading job portals in India and I am based in Bangalore, India.
The company has asked me to contact a Travel Agency in Dubai for processing my work/residence permit visa.
Accordingly, when I contacted him via mail he says that I need to pay US $ 1850/- to process my papers or send him US $ 2950/- to process my and my family's visa
papers in the UAE.
After going through the advice given on this portal, I find this is also a fake one.
Can somebody advise me in this regard at the earliest?

How to make sure if a job offer is valid and not a scam?

Q: The employer had sent me an offer letter and now asking me to contact the visa agency and pay all my visa fees and everything.
It's from a very big oil and gas firm and I am not sure how is it possible that a billion $ company can ask employees to do this experience.
Kindly guide me, is it possible and legal to do this as per the UAE law, or this is fraud and cheating?

Q: Hi Sir/Madam,
I received an offer letter from the city center mall, but I have a doubt that they require a two-way courier service from India to Dubai and from Dubai to Delhi.
I am confused, and then they gave me a visa application form.
Is this real?

Is it normal for a company to require an initial payment for visa and work permit?




1
Q: Sir/Madam,
I am currently in India and have received an offer letter from a company based in Fujairah, UAE. They have asked me to contact a travel agency for the work permit and visa process.
It seems I have to make an initial payment for these processes (the offer letter says it is the company's official policy), and it will be reimbursed later. Is this normal? Please guide me.
Thank you!

The fraudsters allegedly post jobs online or even on reputable websites like #Monster.com or #Naukrigulf.com with too good to be true salaries and unbelievable benefits. Then WITHOUT an interview or fake telephone call interview (which is never done for real jobs in the UAE) provides an offer letter which includes the names and logos of the employer with or without the UAE Embassy stamp and then asks you to pay processing or visa fee to a travel company or exchange companies. BEWARE!

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
