Questions & Answers
When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost?
I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to.
I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period.
As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through.
May I kindly ask:
Will the execution proceed using my passport?
How long does this process usually take?
What should I expect next?
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi,
Yes, the execution can proceed using your passport if you don’t have an Emirates ID yet.
After you receive and pay the court fee link, the court will start enforcement, which usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the case.
Next, the court will notify your employer to pay the pending salary and cancel your visa. If they don’t comply, enforcement actions will follow.
You can track your case via Al Adheed or contact the court for updates. Let me know if you need further help.
Dear J. M.,
Thank you for reaching out, and congratulations on your favorable outcome at MOHRE.
Yes, execution proceedings can move forward using your passport details if you do not yet have an Emirates ID. This is common in such cases.
Once the court approves the execution request, you will receive a payment link for court fees, and then the process will formally begin.
What to expect next:
Once fees are paid, the court will issue execution orders (e.g., salary recovery, visa cancellation).
The timeline may vary, but it generally takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the court’s workload and company cooperation.
To ensure smooth follow-up and faster results, we recommend appointing our legal office to handle the execution and any required enforcement on your behalf.

Best regards,
Dear J.,
Thank you for your update, and congratulations on your favorable outcome with MOHRE.
Regarding your execution request filed with Al Adheed on July 4 using your passport, please note that the process can indeed proceed without an Emirates ID, as long as your identity and case linkage are clearly established.
You should receive a payment link for court fees within a few working days if your application is accepted.
Once paid, the court will issue an execution order to your employer, requiring them to settle your pending salary and proceed with visa cancellation within 7–14 days.
If there is no compliance, the court may take enforcement actions such as freezing the company’s accounts or issuing legal notices, in accordance with the UAE Labour Law and Civil Procedure Law.
The entire process typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the employer's response. Please let us know if you would like assistance with any court communications or further legal steps.
Kind regards,
Dear J.,
Thank you for your message, and congratulations on successfully concluding your case at MOHRE.
To address your questions:
Will the execution proceed using your passport?
Yes, execution proceedings can be initiated using your passport copy if your Emirates ID is not yet available.
The Dubai Courts (via Al Adheed) generally accept passport details for non-residents or applicants without valid Emirates IDs, especially when based on a MOHRE judgment.
How long does the process take?
Execution timelines vary depending on the court’s workload and whether the employer responds promptly. In most cases:
The court issues a payment order or notifies the employer within 7–14 working days after the fee payment.
If the employer fails to comply, the court may escalate with enforcement actions such as account freezing, travel bans, or license restrictions.
What to expect next:
- You should receive a court fee payment link if your submission is accepted.
- After payment, the court will start the formal enforcement process.
- Keep an eye on SMS or email notifications, and ensure your contact details are correctly registered.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance following up on the execution process or if you’d like us to monitor the case on your behalf.

Yes, the judgment will be executed using your passport if you do not have an Emirates ID.
The process typically takes a few days to a week and may vary depending on the type of case and court procedures.
You will then receive notification of the decision and instructions on how to proceed with the execution of the judgment.
Thank you for reaching out, and congratulations on successfully securing a decision in your favour at MOHRE.
Yes, the execution request can proceed using your passport if you do not yet have an Emirates ID.
It is common in such cases for the courts to accept identification through the passport details, especially when the complainant is between employment or visa status.
Once your application is reviewed by the execution judge, and if everything is in order, you will receive a payment link for court fees—this means the case is moving forward.
As for the timeline, execution proceedings can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how fast the employer responds and whether the court needs to issue further notices, freeze accounts, or enforce collection.
If the employer continues to delay, you may also request additional measures like a travel ban or attachment of company assets, depending on the circumstances.
I’d be happy to guide you through the next steps and assist in following up with the court to ensure proper enforcement.
You can reach out to me directly on WhatsApp or by phone to discuss your case further and move things forward smoothly.
Hello,
The court will review the request and check if everything is in order. If everything checks out, they will issue a payment link for the court fees.
Once you pay the court fee, it might take a few days for the payment to be processed, and then the execution order will be officially issued.
After that, the company will be formally notified of the court’s ruling. They will be given a certain period (usually about 14 days) to comply.
If the company doesn’t comply within the given time frame, the court will initiate enforcement actions. This can include garnishing salary, seizing assets, or taking other legal measures to recover the owed money.
Hello,
We understand how important it is to complete the execution process smoothly and to recover your pending salary and secure your visa cancellation in line with UAE Labour Law.
To address your questions:
1. Will the execution proceed using your passport?
Yes — since you do not yet have an Emirates ID, your valid passport details can be used for the execution application.
The Al Adheed Centre and Dubai Courts Execution Department typically accept passport copies, especially where an Emirates ID has not yet been issued or renewed.
2. How long does this process usually take?
On average, once you pay the court execution fee (which you will receive via the payment link), the file will be officially registered under the Court Execution Section.
From there, it generally takes 2–4 weeks for the court to issue an execution order, depending on whether the employer responds or objects.
If the employer does not comply voluntarily, the court may proceed with enforcement measures such as account freezes or travel bans.
3. What should you expect next?
You should receive a court fee payment link from Al Adheed once your application is accepted.
After payment, the execution file number will be generated, and you can track its status online or by visiting Al Adheed.
The employer will be formally notified to comply with the award — if they fail to do so within the timeline given, the court may apply enforcement measures to recover your dues.
It is important to keep your passport and contact details updated with the court so you do not miss any notices.
