Can a MOHRE non-payment certificate help transfer my UAE visa before a court case is filed?
Q: Hello, Is the following correct regarding transferring the UAE visa? The non-payment certificate issued by MOHRE can allow you to transfer your visa in the UAE, even if your case has not yet been registered in court. Here’s how it works: Non-Payment Certificate from MOHRE: - What It Is: The non-payment certificate from MOHRE confirms that your employer has failed to pay your wages or commissions, which is considered a violation of labor laws. - Importance: This certificate serves as proof that your employer is not fulfilling their obligations and supports your case for a visa transfer to a new employer. - MOHRE’s Role: MOHRE issues this certificate based on its mediation process with your employer. If your employer is uncooperative, refuses to pay, or fails to respond to MOHRE’s attempts to resolve the issue, MOHRE will issue the certificate.Mar 15, 2025

Can my community deny access to parking and facilities if I signed a tenancy contract but no Ejari?
Q: Good afternoon, Hope you are all in good health! I`m renting a property in a community, and this is my second year. I have a tenancy contract signed by both the landlord and me; however, Ejari will take some time to be processed. I understand that, as per the community rules, access cards for community facilities (such as the pool, gym, etc.), along with the parking access card, will be deactivated until I get Ejari. However, is this legal? Since I have paid the rent and have a signed tenancy contract, can they do this? My questions: 1. Does the community have the right to deny me access to parking and facilities if I have a valid tenancy contract but no Ejari? 2. If they have the right, then that`s okay. But if they don`t, what should I do if they stop me from using my parking space? 3. Should I call the police if security denies me access to parking? Thank you so much in advance. I wish you a great day ahead!

Can I face issues with visa cancellation if my labor card is expired but my Emirates ID is still valid?
Q: Hello, I`ve been working in the company for the past 18 months, and I have submitted my resignation after receiving a good offer from another employer. My labor card is showing as expired in MOHRE (it seems the PRO didn’t process it properly at the time of visa stamping for the two-year labor card). Meanwhile, my Emirates ID is valid and active. Should I wait for the cancellation paper (even though my labor card is expired) after completing my notice period? Is there any issue for me in getting the cancellation if the employer doesn’t respond?+1
