What can I do to retrieve my passport if my employer asks for money to release it?
Hello Sir,
I'm C.D. I have a problem, I resigned from my company after six months but they didn't give me my passport and canceled.
I dropped a complaint to the labor court but still, I didn't receive my passport. My company told me to give me my passport they need 7.500 dirams.
Please advise me on how can I receive my passport immediately.
Dear Valuable Client,
I understood your concern.
You can immediately visit Al Adheed Centre in Oud Mehta or Ontime typing center to raise an urgent complaint to take your passport.
The smart request is called (أمر على عريضة) in Arabic.
Dubai court will issue an order for the police to take the passport from your boss. For Court Orders, you can follow up with the typing center from where you typed the abovementioned request.
Once you get the order, call Dubai Police on 999 and give the same order to the Police. The police will get your passport.
Please note that this procedure is only for Dubai-issued visas.
For any other Emirates, you have to visit the respective court to make the request.
For filing this complaint, you will require:
- Your Emirates ID copy,
- Visa page
- Trade License copy
- And your labor contract.
Regards,
Abdul Wahied
