Q: Good morning,
I am looking to possibly hire a lawyer for a number of tasks. I live in Saudi Arabia but my husband wants to give me POA for his apartment in Dubai as we need to complete registration papers for same.
Also, we need to draw up wills to pass on our properties in Dubai to our kids. Oh, I am Irish and my husband is Saudi, also I am seeking advice re rental contract for my tenant, if possible obtaining 6 months only.
We plan to move to Dubai summer 2018. How do I obtain Residence visa as a home owner? I believe our kids can stay there without visa as per GCC.
Sorry for all this, that is why I think we need to hire services as opposed to advice.
Hoping that you can assist us or direct us.
Many thanks in advance,
Ann

Q: Hi Miss Rajasree,
I am Electrical Engineer, MBA - Canada, and have dual nationality. Pakistani and Canadian. I am working with a company in Dubai.
I worked with this company for the last four years and had two times 02-year residence visas issued from this company now again just a few days back this company stamped my residence visa for the next two years.
Based on the insulting working environment at this company. My question is can I leave this company immediately or not, or is there any time frame I can leave this company?
Will there be any ban if I leave this company now and start looking for a new job or found a new job or if this company fires me now?
Will there be any ban on me before I get another job?
I will wait for your kind advice in this regard.
I appreciate it.

Will my visa as property owner be canceled if I stay more than one year outside the UAE?

Q: I'm a 63-year-old British National holding two apartments in Dubai; as such, I qualified for a Visa.
My understanding was I could be out of the country for one year without returning, however, I've exceeded one year by 25 days (return should have been on 6 Jan 2023).
Does this mean my visa will be canceled? Or can I pay some sort of fine at the airport?
The Visa is valid until 01/10/2026. So obviously, I don't want to lose it. My visa used to be an investor’s visa, but now I think it's a retirement visa. It can be sent if requested.
Once again, please accept my profound apologies for this direct approach, and may I offer my sincere appreciation for any information you can provide.
Best regards
R. A.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in the final process of opening a company in Abu Dhabi and currently living in Saudi Arabia on a residence visa.
Once the company registration is complete, I will apply for a UAE residence visa for myself.
My question is whether I can drive my car and enter the UAE with the residence invitation, or if it is mandatory to travel by air.

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.

Can an employer post an employee’s photo on social media without their consent? 0
Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.
