Can I pass in the UAE transit area if I left Dubai without proper visa cancellation?
Q: Good afternoon, I hold a valid UAE employee visa (issued in Dubai). I have not been to the UAE for over 6 months. I am currently attempting to cancel the visa through MOHRE, as the owner of the company has left the country and has not been responsive. Additionally, the trade license has expired. Is it possible for me to be in transit in the UAE, specifically within the airport`s transit zone? Can I seek employment in Qatar before my UAE visa is canceled? I prefer to avoid unnecessary expenditures of time and money and can`t be more unemployed. Thank you.

Can my employer demand repayment of salary after acknowledging an increase?
Q: Hello, I currently work for an American company based out of the US, but my contract is through a legal entity in the UAE. I received a salary increase last December. I had to sign a salary increase document. I have been getting paid that salary since. Now the company has a registered entity in the UAE. While they were reviewing the financials to transfer our contracts from the current local entity to the new one, HR claims they made a mistake, stating that I have been overpaid. They are asking me to revert to my previous salary and pay back the extra money I received. I have the signed contracts and the emails where they are admitting that error. Note that the new salary has been submitted to the involuntary loss of job insurance, and I have also applied for a bank loan using the new salary, providing certificates from my current local employer with that salary to secure the loan. Thanks!
