Checking travel ban without the original passport or UAE visa
13
Q: Sir,
I no longer live in the UAE and I have lived in Abu Dhabi for many years. I would like to check for an arrest warrant or travel ban.
I do not have the original passport or the original UAE visa. However, I do have my new passport.
Can you use my passport to gain access to any criminal warrants or travel bans that are 15 years old?

How to check if there is a ban or restriction to enter the UAE?

1
Q: Hello,
I overstayed on a Sharjah visit visa and I applied for a fine reduction. My application got approved and I paid the fine and get updating paper from Sharjah immigration.
After a few days, my fine is cleared from the system and I booked a ticket to go back to my country from Dubai, but Dubai immigration canceled my boarding pass and asked me to go back to Sharjah immigration and get outpass if I want to leave.
I applied for outpass and traveled from Sharjah airport. Again, immigration stopped me and said that I am not cleared and that if I want to leave, I can not come again. I explained well and they stamped exit on my passport and asked me to go.
Now, I am scared that I got banned or blacklisted. How can I check if I have a ban or restriction to enter the country again?

Debt settled, record clear, but facing lifetime ban in Dubai. What to do?
1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My debt was settled with the bankers in 2017. My colleague was checking in at a police station in Dubai and my record is clear; that being said, there is no ban.
However, another PRO has said that I have a lifetime ban and must pay a sum of 40,000 Dhs to lift the ban.
Can you please clarify whether I need to clear this from the immigration system or if both the police and immigration systems are the same?

The maximum notice period employers can put in the contract as per the new labor law 0
Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 2
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
