Dear questioner,

It is illegal in the UAE, especially for employers, to hold employees' passports. You can file a complaint with MOHRE as well as the police station.

If your employer is not returning your passport, you can contact your National Embassy in the UAE for a new passport. Only after obtaining a passport can you exit the UAE.

To obtain an outpass without your original passport, you will need to follow the specific procedures set by the immigration authorities.

Here are some general steps you can take:

1. Contact your company:

Explain your situation to your company and request them to provide you with a letter confirming that your passport is being held by them for work-related purposes.

2. Visit the nearest immigration office:

Go to the nearest immigration office in your area and explain your situation to the immigration officer. Present the letter from your company as well as any other identification documents you may have, such as a copy of your passport or any other government-issued ID.

3. Fill out the necessary forms:

The immigration officer will provide you with the necessary forms to fill out in order to apply for an outpass. Make sure to provide all the required information accurately.

4. Pay any fees:

There may be a fee associated with obtaining an outpass, so be prepared to pay any necessary charges.

5. Wait for approval:

Once you have submitted your application, you will need to wait for the immigration authorities to process your request. This may take some time, so be patient.

6. Collect your outpass:

If your application is approved, you will be provided with an outpass that will allow you to travel without your original passport. Make sure to keep this document safe and present it to the authorities as needed during your travels.

It is important to note that the specific procedures for obtaining an outpass may vary depending on your country and its immigration laws.

Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the immigration authorities and seek assistance if needed.
