Answer 1

If you got an offer from Saudi Arabia, you can able to go there without canceling your existing UAE visa. But if you have overstayed out of the UAE for more than six months, then you can not able to go back and join with a new company on a new work visa.
The UAE labor and immigration law stipulates that if an employee is overstayed out of the country for more than six months his/her residence permit will be cancelled automatically and imposed a ban valid for one year from the date of cancellation (remember, not from the date of the last departure from UAE).

You have to get cancelled your existing visa PHYSICALLY, whether it is valid or expired, if you are willing to go back to UAE in future. You should send your passport back to your former employer to complete the cancellation procedures. So I would suggest you that try to get the vacation for the maximum duration (i.e. six months) and go for Saudi. If you found comfortable the new work environment there just continue as it is and if not then go back to UAE.

Try your best, good luck.

Strongly recommend that you go on your vacation, return, resign properly, cancel your UAE visa and then proceed to Saudi Arabia. You might not know this, but all GCC states now have a common database of expatriate employees.

If your UAE residence and work visa doesnt bear the cancellation stamp, there are 100% chances that Saudi immigration authorities will refer your case to their UAE counterparts and can deny you a work visa in that kingdom...because you'll be treated as a worker who fled his employer. In addition, your employer can prefer charges against you of criminal nature, even though false and these can get you into serious problems with both, Saudi and UAE authorities. The first thing you'll be asked is- what prevented you from leaving the UAE for good in a proper manner. By fleeing from your employer, you leave yourself open to suspicions that you've committed some serious crime, such as cheated the employer of money or caused other losses.

If your UAE visa is not cancelled, you'll never be able to take job in that country again, even if you change your passport since your fingerprints, which are compulsary for all expatriate workers, will give away your identity and other details of the earlier stay.

those fines are you specific they're related to visa , because of the fact they make you pay them on the time you depart not years later ! . those are probable over due charges or site visitors violations (you let us know?). As for the visa , you nonetheless can not enter UAE without sending your passport on your previous business enterprise from whom you absconded and ask them to cancel the visa . they'd't do it while not having the unique passport -- no copies. After which you will enter UAE once you paid the fines stated or have the superb difficulty corrected.
