Q: Hello sir/madam, I have an absconding case from my previous employer. It was due to the traffic fines I had on my ID. Later, I paid those fines, but now my employer has refused to remove the absconding case. I need some advice. Thank you!

Q: Hello Team I have an absconding case on which I have already managed with my sponsor due to not leaving the country, however, they have requested to pay them a penalty to remove the case which I did but now I have overstay fines. So I went to them again after paying the fines for removing the absconding as they have advised me to proceed with removing the absconding case that I will have to clear my overstay fines first. So they gave me a copy of the NOC that there is no objection in removing the absconding from immigration and applying for a waiver. My question is, will my petition to discount waiver be accepted even though I do have an absconding case on me and will this NOC work or not? I also have several reasons for overstaying as there weren’t flights back then when Covid was at the high peak and I had my passport getting renewed which I also have a letter from the embassy stating that.

Q: Good day Ma'am/Sir I need legal advice about my case. I want to ask what is the procedure for removing absconding. Thank you so much  

Q: I'm on a canceled visa and just overstayed for 6 days. I simply booked a flight to change my visa status and I was ready to pay a fine at the airport. But I found that my previous company put absconding on me. Now what to do? Is this legal?  

Q: Good morning Please advise me what to do for my sister. She's on abscond and overstay and we tried hard with the sponsor to remove the abscond that we are willing to pay for the fee and apply for overstay fine reduction. The sponsor refused (in Ajman). What can we do? She wants to pay her fine and get her visa and live a free life in Dubai but the problem is the person who absconded her. Thanks

Q: Hi Sir, If I move from the UAE with an outpass, can I go via ticket from the UAE to other countries?

Q: I overstayed in the UAE for more than three months and took an outpass to exit the UAE without paying fines. The airport authorities said I would be having a lifetime ban. Can I lift this ban and come back to the UAE?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I left the UAE one year ago without completing my resignation formalities with my employer due to family issues. I returned to India and finalized my divorce last month. I am now seeking to return to the UAE for a new job opportunity. Please advise on the procedures to resolve my outstanding legal formalities and absconding case. I would appreciate an early response.

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.

An interview-format article covering the topic of overstaying your tourist or resident visa in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. Ludmila discusses the aspects of overstaying, like fines, grace periods, exemptions...etc.

The UAE attracts a large population of expatriates from around the world for business or leisure. It occurs sometimes that those expatriates violate the rules of their visas and incur overstay fines which accumulate the longer they stay beyond their visa's expiry date. This may result in travel restrictions, banning violators from entering the UAE for a certain period or lifetime. The UAE authorities have now announced a two-month scheme for violators to rectify their situations.

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.
