Settling a labor dispute to get entitlements and new visa
Q: The company has cancelled my visa on the 9th of May 2018. After that, I have complained against the company for my due end of services. The case is in court now. 3 hearings already done. Now, my employer is asking me to close the case and he will issue my visa again in his company. My question is, how can he issue my visa when Bangladesh visa isn`t open? One more question, can I get the advantage of UAE amnesty while the case is in the court? Amer is saying I can`t because I have to close case first. And one more thing, how can I close my case. How many days will it take to close the case?

The safe option for starting a new business in the UAE
Q: I am interested in starting a new business in Dubai. The offering will be videography/photography and organising events. I am getting contacted by some people who: 1) Wish to transfer their licenses to me (One kind gentleman even agreed to do it for free, he has a few months left before the license expires and is not using it). 2) Some other people suggesting that I can use their general trading license to start my business, by paying them a cut in my profits/some payments on a monthly basis. I want to understand the legal perspective of both these kinds of situations. What should I watch out for? Is this kind of sub-leasing of license legal?

Criminal investigation in the UAE for misappropriation of funds
