Hello,

If your employer in the UAE falsely reports you as absconding (absent without notice for over 7 days), you have 20 working days to dispute it by visiting MOHRE or your free zone authority with proof such as medical records, approved leave, or resignation notice.

You can request your employer to withdraw the report or file a labor complaint through MOHRE if they refuse.

If the case is proven false, MOHRE can remove the report and lift any penalties.

For legal support, contact us.

Thank You!

Dear questioner,

Your sponsor is the authorised person for your visa. He can help you remove the absconding, or else you need to file a complaint through MOHRE.

MOHRE will still help you if the employer filed the absconding without a reason.

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

Greetings,

If your employer falsely reports you as absconding, it is important to act quickly. The best course of action is to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or the relevant free zone authority to dispute the claim.

In many cases, you may also need to take legal action to lift the absconding report and avoid deportation.

Each case depends on specific details, so we recommend you book a consultation or authorize us to represent you and resolve the matter professionally.

You can get it removed by visiting immigration.

Hello,

Sometimes, an absconding report is filed due to a misunderstanding or miscommunication with your employer.

Go to the nearest MOHRE office and file a formal complaint against your employer regarding the absconding report.

Explain your situation and provide all the evidence you have gathered. MOHRE will investigate your complaint and may summon both you and your employer to mediate and resolve the issue.

They will review the evidence and determine the validity of the absconding report.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.
