صاحب عمل يحتجز جواز سفر موظف. كيف يمكن استرجاعه؟
سيدي الفاضل،
هناك قضية هروب ضدي. حصل صاحب العمل على جواز سفري ولا يريد إعطائي إياه.
لا أريد مغادرة الإمارات العربية المتحدة.
أرجوك أخبرني ماذا يمكنني أن أفعل!
Dear questioner,
It is illegal for your employer to keep your passport.
In fact, employers in the UAE who withhold workers' passports can be jailed and fined up to 20,000 dirhams.
If your employer keeps your passport and refuses to return it to you, you can go to the nearest police station, or you can go to your embassy in the country to file a complaint.
Please be aware that you have all the necessary rights and privileges to have your own passport and you have all the rights to question your employer if he/she insists on keeping it.
I hope what I mentioned above makes the point you are asking about for help.
