Will a "not registered" labor complaint stop me from getting a new work visa?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the potential impact of an unregistered labor complaint on obtaining a new work visa in the UAE.

Based on the information provided, an unregistered labor complaint that was not filed in time is unlikely to prevent you from obtaining a new work visa. However, please consider the following points:

1. Visa Cancellation:

Ensure your previous visa has been properly canceled by your former employer.

2. Legal Status:

Confirm that there are no active legal impediments against you in the UAE system.

3. Ministry Verification:

You may wish to contact the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to verify your current status in their records.

4. Transparency:

It is advisable to inform your prospective employer about the previous unregistered complaint to maintain transparency.

5. Legal Consultation:

For personalized advice, consider consulting with us.

While an unregistered complaint is less likely to cause issues, resolving any outstanding matters will help ensure a smooth transition to new employment.

Should you require any further clarification or assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Don't stop, dear.

If your labor complaint was transferred to the court but wasn’t filed in time, resulting in a “not registered” status, it generally means that there is no active case against your name.

In most cases, this should not prevent you from obtaining a new work visa with a new employer. However, it is advisable to check with MOHRE or immigration authorities to confirm if there are any pending restrictions or issues linked to your previous complaint.

If you need assistance in clarifying your legal position or resolving any potential issues, feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp or phone at [-----------], and I’d be happy to guide you further.

Dear questioner,

If the labor complaint was not officially registered in court, it will generally not affect your ability to obtain a new work visa.

However, it is advisable to check your legal status with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation to ensure there are no restrictions.

According to UAE labor law, if a labor complaint is transferred to the court and the status is "not registered", it means that the complaint was not filed within the specified time frame.

This may have a negative impact on your ability to obtain a new work visa with a new employer.

A "not registered" status generally indicates that the court process was not completed. It denotes the procedures in the court with your previous employer.

If the visa has been cancelled and there are no existing penalties under your name, then there won't be any issue for obtaining the new visa with a new employer.

The "not registered" status has no direct effect on securing a new visa.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Dear questioner,

There is no restriction on getting a new job unless the previous visa is canceled and the new employer requires a NoC or clearance papers.
