Questions & Answers
Can someone with a drink-and-drive case in the UAE switch jobs after termination?
Hello everyone.
I want to ask: my friend has a drink-and-drive case in the UAE and has been terminated from his company.
Can he join another company, or is it possible for him to change jobs?
Please advise.
Thank you!
The penalties for drunk driving in the UAE vary depending on the severity of the offense.
Factors like blood alcohol content, involvement in an accident, and any injuries sustained can influence the penalties.
If your friend's visa is canceled due to the conviction, they may need to obtain a new visa before seeking employment.
Once he gets clearance, then he can obtain a new visa.
If you need further clarification, you may ask us.
Dear Client,
Your friend's drink and drive case complicates job change prospects in the UAE. Legal consequences may restrict employment opportunities.

According to UAE law, if your friend has a drink-and-drive case and was terminated from his job, he may still be able to change jobs, but he could face some restrictions or difficulties obtaining a new work visa.
He should clarify his legal status regarding the case before applying for a new position.
You can contact us for more precise legal advice regarding his situation. We specialize in such cases and have the expertise to offer the necessary support.
Dear questioner,
Yes, he can work for another company and join companies where he is accepted. Having a case does not disqualify his career unless the case is directly related to his profession.
