Employer did not process my visa after I joined the company. What should I do?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I joined a new company before my Emirates ID expired. After that, they did not process my visa.

I still have a fine of 4,850 AED in the UAE. They told me they would pay it, but they are not responding.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question!

I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

If you joined a new company before your Emirates ID expired and they have not processed your visa, it is crucial to address the situation promptly.

Communicate with your employer to discuss the delay in visa processing and the payment of your fines.

Review your employment contract to understand your rights and ensure that the terms and conditions, including visa processing and fine payment, are clearly stated.

If your employer is not responding or fulfilling their obligations as per the contract, consider seeking legal advice.

You may also report the matter to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) or the relevant labor authority if necessary.

Keep records of any communication with your employer to support your case.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
