Questions & Answers
Obtaining a copy of the partnership agreement and canceling a blocked partner visa
Good day,
I would like to know where I can get a copy of the partnership agreement, as the acting partner/manager has not provided us with one. He has all the access.
Additionally, how can I cancel my partner visa? I hold a 49% share, another lady also holds 49%, and the acting partner/manager holds 2%. The trade license expired three years ago, in 2022.
I went to Amer, and they said they can’t cancel the card because it is blocked. My grace period already finished on August 18, 2024, and I have incurred fines.
I met with a local agent, and she asked for 3000 AED from each of us two partners to cancel the visa. As of now, I only want to cancel my visa and work peacefully for the company.
Thank you!
Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns regarding the partnership agreement and visa cancellation.
Firstly, obtaining a copy of your partnership agreement is crucial, especially since you are a 49% shareholder.
If the acting partner/manager has not provided you with a copy, you are entitled to request it formally in writing.
Should this request be ignored, legal action may be necessary to compel them to produce the document.
As your attorney, I can assist in drafting this formal request and, if needed, take further legal steps to secure your rights.
Regarding the cancellation of your partner visa, the situation is indeed complicated, especially with the trade license expired and fines accumulating.
The local agent's request for AED 3,000 per partner to facilitate the visa cancellation is not uncommon in such cases.
However, before proceeding, it’s essential to ensure that this is the most effective and legal route.
Given the urgency due to the expiration of your grace period, I would recommend we discuss your situation in detail to explore all possible legal avenues for canceling your visa without further delay or additional complications.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly on WhatsApp or by phone at [---------], or via email at [---------] to discuss your case further and find a solution that allows you to move forward peacefully.
Dear Questioner,
According to the Commercial Procedures Law, you must send a notice to hold a shareholders or partners meeting.
Then a resolution must be issued by the board of directors and after that, you must go to court to request a court order to exclude him as a partner.
Obtaining a copy of the partnership agreement requires direct communication and possibly legal intervention if necessary.
Cancelling your partner's visa involves contacting immigration authorities and addressing any outstanding issues related to fines or expired licenses.
Dear inquirer,
There are possibilities to cancel the visa. You can go to the concerned authorities to ask about this.
Contact the Department of Economic Development (DED); they should have a record of your partnership deed.
