How can I retrieve my passport from my previous employer after visa canellation?

Good evening Sir,

I resigned from my company and they cancelled my visa also. Still, they have not released my passport.

I complained in MOHRE (80084) 10 days ago. Still, they did not take any action.

Then I went to the police station and they told me I needed to go to Dubai court. There they told me I needed to go to Alaweer immigration.

Now, what will I do?

Please tell me.

They did not give me the September month salary either. Now I am stuck.

In your situation, it's essential to continue following up with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to resolve the issues with your former employer.

Additionally, contact your embassy or consulate for support with retrieving your passport.

If all else fails, you can file a labor complaint with the MOHRE or labor courts.

Document all communication, and if your passport is held without justification, contact immigration authorities.

Consult with us for personalized guidance.
