i resigned my job in the UAE. I was employed for 5 months. will i be banned forever to UAE or not?

Question

I'm on Residence visa by Dulsco.

Answer 1

It depends on your current position and the status of the labor contract. If your contract is “unlimited” you can resign you’re your job with 30 days notice period. If it is a “limited” contract, as per UAE labor law you could not submit your resignation till completing the specified period. You will get six months ban at the time of residence visa cancellation and able to comeback once it is over.

If you got an offer form elsewhere and able to manage for a no objection letter from your current employer, then you will be free from imposing ban. Also note that certain professional categories are exempted from imposing ban.

Good luck.

Answer 2

First point - If no NOC, than NO TRANSFER and you will automatically get a Labour ban of 6 months.
Secondly if you were on a LIMITED contract and have terminated it / resigned before the expiring, you will get a 1 year labour ban.
Most important, if your company decides that they want to ban you even if you had a Limited contract, they can submit a letter / request at the time of cancellation. However they will have to state that you have swindled them. This way you could get a 1 year ban irrespective. This could also lead to a VISA BAN.
The best way to come back to UAE is to come on a visit visa or get a Free Zone visa which is not affiliated with the Labour Department.
I heard in ABU DHABI there is a law that you cannot come on more than 4 visit visas simultaneously otherwise you get a VISA ban for 1 year - this is unconfirmed however.

Answer 3

Regarding the UAE Labor Law you have to stay with your company at least for one year before you can resign (unlimited contract). If you resign before this year is over, you automatically will receive an one year ban.

The UAE Labour Law is quite clear in such cases, since no visa can be transferable before the lapse of one-year from the date of the contract, in case the labour contract is for an unlimited period.

Seek an amicable compromise in order to get a 'No-objection letter' from the employer.

There is no ban forever unless you got deported.
