Do I need a work permit to work in the UAE if I have a Golden Visa?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you are well! I am a Golden Visa holder under the category of Artist. I am currently working as a freelancer with a Sole Professional Licence issued by DDA Media City. I have spoken with the GDRFA and they have informed me that as a golden visa holder, I do not require any additional permits or licenses to legally work in the UAE as a freelancer. Is this true and are there any limitations if I do not have a work permit in addition to my Golden Visa? Thank you in advance!

Employee mistakenly submits documents, police case filed: What now?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, An employee submitted a document and its attachments to two municipalities to obtain an NOC from Etisalat for a plot. The employee, who did not know much Arabic or the procedures in that municipality, mistakenly submitted an already filled-out form from another project (which had already been stamped by the municipality) and simply changed the project information and submitted it. The employee later realized the mistake and corrected it in one municipality. However, in the other municipality, they took it as if the employee had forged the document and filed a police case. The company blamed everything on the employee, even though it was not his job to submit these applications. What will happen in this case, when it was all a little mistake? No one was hurt by it, and the project was not even started; it was just a land NOC.

What can I do if the real estate agent refuses to hand the house after payment?
Q: I have a two-pronged question. I was looking to rent a house and I`ve paid the first three months, deposit, and agent fees together. I`ve also signed a contract. The agent has refused to give us the keys until we give him the SEWA deposit as well. Now at this point, I`m having misgivings about the agent. The agency is not listed on the Sharjah government`s RERA website. The agent showed us a free zone license which is valid till September 30th. The agent also keeps insisting on cash and is not sending us a copy of the contract we signed. At this point, should I give him any more money or can I insist on receiving the house keys first? The tenancy is supposed to start on the 1st of October, but previously he had told us that we would get the keys as soon as we pay the first installment. Also secondly, if the agency is listed as a free zone business, is it not required to be registered on the Sharjah government website? Questions & Answers
