Q: Dear sir/madam, I have returned to the UK as I resigned in my 6 month probation period due to my parents' health. I still have a valid residency visa in the UAE as my workplace has not canceled it yet. If it was not canceled yet, can I return to the UAE and find another job? Is that possible even if on a holiday visa? Or would it be wise to start another job with another visa in say 3 months' time or even 6 months going through the visa process again? I didn't abscond. I followed through with the finishing process exactly as required where my workplace was concerned.

Q: Hi sir/mam, I have been working in a company from 2007 to 2009. I got back to India on vacation. But unfortunately, for some personal issues, I could not return to Dubai. Now, I have a job offer in Dubai. Would I face any security clearance issues for my new visa? Kindly advise!

Q: Hi Mam, Good evening! I would like to understand if there will be any kind of travel restrictions while being on transit through UAE or any GCC country airports if my UAE work visa was not canceled while exiting the country way back in 2014. Thank you!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My company is processing the cancellation of my temporary work permit. Can I go to my home country during this time, and will it cause any problems?
