Does it affect my legal status or Emirates ID if my employer revokes my labor card?

My employer revoked my labor card on 10-10-2024. I found out once I tried to log in through my UAE pass what my legal status was.

Does it affect my legal status or Emirates ID?

If yes, how much time will I have to correct my status?

I am outside the Emirates, and my family is also under my sponsorship.

Is it possible for me to return to the Emirates to adjust my status?

So, even if I want to check my visa status, which platform or authority should I contact?

Dear questioner

You can check the visa status through GDRFA as well as MOHRE after confirming the visa status you can come as well as contact your employer to check the current status of your labor card and request for the renewal of the same.

If he is not ready to renew then we can file a complaint in MOHRE.

If you need further clarifications kindly share your Whatsapp number.

Dear S.,

On what terms you were with your employer when you traveled outside of UAE, and under what conditions?

Probably your employer has made an absconding case, as revoking a labor card without mutual consent is impossible unless one of the parties breached the terms of the employment agreement and labor law.

You need to discuss the matter with your employer or have solid proof of an approved leave which you can present to dispute the absconding.

Thank you

The revocation of your labor card does affect both your legal status and Emirates ID.

You should act promptly within the grace period allowed by authorities and utilize official channels like ICA or MoHRE to check your visa status.

Greeting,

Revoking the labor card does not mean canceling or terminating the employment contract, and the employment contract cannot be terminated while you are outside the country.

You need to return to the country and approach your employer to clarify your legal status with them.

Best Regards
