Can I work for a new employer during my labor case and Golden Visa process?

Dear questioner,

Yes, you may require an NOC from the court and a work permit from your current employer to work under their institution.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Generally, no.

UAE labor law prohibits employees from working for another employer while they have an ongoing labor case with their current employer.

You can still apply for a Golden Visa while you have an ongoing labor case. The Golden Visa application process is separate from your employment status.

However, it's important to be aware of the potential implications of your labor case on your Golden Visa application.

In some cases, the court may require you to obtain an NOC before allowing you to work for another employer.

It will be better if you seek the assistance of a lawyer during the procedure of getting NOC from the court.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Dear Inquirer,

We are pleased to serve you and address your inquiries.

You can contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to work on ending the residency with the employer and obtaining a new residency.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry!

1. Working for Another Employer During the Labour Case:

If you are still under your current employer’s visa, you cannot legally work for another employer without their NOC.

However, once your Golden Visa is approved, you will be able to work freely for any employer, as it is not tied to a specific company.

2. NOC from the Court:

Whether you need an NOC from the court depends on your specific case and its progress. If the case is still ongoing, the court may restrict you from changing employers, but you should consult with your lawyer to clarify if any such restrictions apply.

3. Procedure:

Obtain the Golden Visa. Once approved, you can work for another employer without requiring NOC from your current employer.

Please let me know if you need further assistance or clarification on any point.

Best regards,

Whether you can work for another employer during an ongoing labor case while seeking Golden Visa sponsorship depends on local laws regarding employment contracts and immigration regulations.

Dear Questioner,

Under UAE law, you cannot work for another employer during an ongoing labor case unless you obtain approval from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation or if your visa permits it.

If you're applying for a golden visa through your husband, you should verify the procedures for obtaining work authorization under this new sponsorship.

A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the court is typically not required unless the ruling in your case directly impacts your employment status.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

As you are in the process of obtaining a Golden Visa sponsorship from your husband, you can work for another employer during this process.

Golden Visa holders have the freedom to work without needing a specific employer's sponsorship, allowing you to pursue employment opportunities independently.

However, regarding your ongoing labor case, you do not need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the court to work for another employer.

It is advisable to keep the court informed about your employment status and any changes related to your case.

Ensure that you maintain documentation of your employment and any communications regarding your Golden Visa application to support your situation.

Thanks & Regards,

Thank you for reaching out with your query!

In your situation, since you are transitioning to a golden visa sponsored by your husband, you can work for another employer during this process.

However, it’s important to ensure compliance with UAE labor laws.

Once your visa status changes, you will need to sign a new employment contract with the new employer, and they must provide you with a valid work permit through MOHRE.

Regarding your ongoing labor case, you do not need an NOC from the court to work for another employer.

The case against your previous employer is independent of your new employment, but it’s advisable to keep your legal representative informed about any updates to avoid any procedural issues.

I can assist you with this transition, ensuring that the process is handled smoothly and in line with UAE laws.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone at [----------] to discuss this further and address any concerns.
