Q: Dear Sir, Good afternoon One of my friends left the UAE (Srilankan national) in 2008 because of fighting with her employer and she wants to come back to Dubai for a visit. She is afraid that maybe she has some case or travel ban. How to check the status? Please advise. Thank you

Q: Hi there, I worked as a teacher in Dubai last year. I was in a two-year contract and completed one year but became sick over the summer and could not return. I wrote a letter of resignation and attached a note from my doctor explaining why I would not be able to return. I told my school to use my summer pay to cover any costs incurred. The school replied and said that my resignation was approved and they did not pay me for the summer, so I assume they used my money to cancel the visa but have no evidence of this. I would like to be sure that I can re-enter the country to visit friends. Can you help me? Kind regards

Q: Dear Sir, My name is Syed Majid, I want your help to know about one problem. My sponsor put an absconding case on me, then I made a request to withdraw the case from MOHRE, but the Labour Department made a ban on me for 1 year. Can I remove the 1-year ban, and can I come on visit visa? Please give me your advice, Sir. Thank you

Q: Hello, How can I know if I have any complaints or am wanted by Dubai Police without visiting a police station?

The UAE travel ban may be imposed on a person on various grounds, for instance, as the result of criminal offences, unpaid loans, breach of immigration laws or family matters. Implications of such a ban can be financially severe and daunting for the affected person. This article aims to give readers a clear understanding of what is the UAE travel ban, what are the grounds and procedures for its imposition and removal, how to check if the person is banned from travelling and other related topics.

An interview-format article covering the topic of the travel ban and reasons leading to it in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.
