How can I lift an immigration ban to be able to process my new emplyment visa?
Q: Hi Sir, I am S. and I am facing a one-year labour ban (as per my knowledge, and the same is mentioned in the cancellation paper too). Now I have a new offer with [-----] company in a free zone, but things were not processed because of this ban. They asked me for the immigration clearance. How can I clear this? My previous contract was under a limited term, so even the salary basis is not helping me. From other sites, I came to know it is possible, but I still have no idea how. Can you suggest a solution?

How can I claim my settlement if the company is inactive but some branches still operate?
Q: Hello, I got a judgment from Dubai Court stating that the employer should do my settlement. It’s been years, but I still haven`t received the payment in my account.

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period?
Q: Sir, As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months. The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn`t mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure. So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.May 9, 2025
