Dear Client, Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter. A Power of Attorney (POA) from you to the sponsor may be required to authorize the sponsor to act on your behalf in the visa cancellation process. It grants them legal authority to carry out certain tasks related to your visa, such as its cancellation, without your physical presence. This is a common practice in UAE immigration matters, and it allows your sponsor to handle the necessary procedures on your behalf. 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 be happy to help you. Thanks & Regards, ABDUL WAHIED

How to cancel a partner expired visa while the other partner is not in the country?

Q: Hi there, My mother is on a partner visa which expired on August 31, 2023. We were trying to cancel the visa but were unable to do so because: 1) The other partner is not in the country currently. 2) The trade license has not been renewed over the last year. Will the visa automatically expire now? Is she allowed to leave the country? If she leaves, can she return later on another visa or a new visa? Does she have a grace period after the expiry date of the visa?

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up?

Hello. My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there. The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced. The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same. The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately. Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc. What are our options here?
