Q: Dear sir/madam, I was a partner in a license in DMCC. But now I have completely given it to the other partner. He hasn't renewed his license and my visa is already expired more than a year. I need to cancel this visa and take another visa for my own company in Mainland/Ajman. I have been trying to do it through DMCC but it is taking a long time. It is already more than 6 months now, but nothing is happening. Now neither can I legalize my status in UAE nor can I expand my other business because I can't travel. Can you please help me out on how to clear this? Thank you!

Q: Dear sir/madam, My employer’s trade license is getting expired very soon and he just made me a visa, so will my visa still be valid when the company trade license is not renewed?

Q: Hi Ms. Rajasree, Good Day! I was a resident of the UAE. Last year, I moved to Germany (since Sep 2020) handing over my partnership rights to my partner at the Al Twar court notary premises (Qusais). However, off late, I did find that the partner is in a big mess and he hasn't primarily paid any rentals ever since my exit; also hasn't taken my name from the trade license with the Dubai economic development. Now all the payment dues (and other related company issues) are also reflected in my name and the court has also issued a verdict (via RDC) to our company which now implies to me too (since my name wasn't taken out). Our company is an LLC company. So my questions to you are: 1) Is there a process to take my name off. from the trade license if I approach the court and explain as I wasn't a part of this by any means as already I have the originals of the partner's amendment signed? 2) If so, for appointing a legal entity, how could I execute a POA from Germany to a legal firm in Dubai?

Sometimes this seems very simple to incorporate a company in the UAE, however, investors must seek professional advice before taking this important business decision to avoid any future legal implications.
