How to avoid overstay fine and apply for new visa in UAE after visit visa expiry?

Hi,

My brother came to the UAE on a visit visa and joined a company. The company took his passport for visa renewal but did not give him his visa until his visa expired.

They also did not give him his salary. It has been two months since his visa expired.

What can he do to avoid the overstay fine and apply for a new visa?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

If your brother's UAE visit visa expired while waiting for his employer to renew it and without receiving his salary, he should first try to communicate with the employer and request his passport back.

If the issue isn't resolved, he can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) about the non-payment of salary and visa delays.

To address his visa status and avoid overstay fines, he should visit the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA).

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Dear Questioner,

It was the responsibility of the employer to provide the visa.

The worker can submit a complaint to the Ministry of Labor over the phone or the website.

All entitlements must be accounted for (overdue salaries, vacations, end-of-service benefits, airline tickets for him and his family, compensation for unfair dismissal, and any other entitlements according to the contract).

Thank you so much! That's really helpful.

How can he avoid the fine?

Is there any application submission or any procedure for this? It was not his fault.

Check with Amer centers or immigration offices.
