Hi..

Wht is your nationality and type of visa u have, like tourist, long term vist, short term visit, employment?

Nigerian... Service Visa

Then you cannot enter the UAE if your visa is expired the day before you enter. Tell your sponsored company to cancel the visa and apply new visa. Or else you enter the country day before the expiry of the visa.

They Claim it cannot be cancelled. Can a new sponsor cancel the Visa?

no only the same sponsor can cancel

dsg , Yes you can check online! I've done it! Stop giving incorrect information! It's clear all your doing is touting for business, yet you use a 'personal' email.

Here'\s the website for the MOL: http://www.mol.gov.ae/english/newIndex.aspx

I suggest you contact them directly as they will give you the correct information. You can do it over the phone or online through their eservices portal.

On this website they want labor card number which they don't have. How can you get the labor card number. Its a challege you cannot find the labor card number on this website.

Chocoholic ,

Pretty does'nt have the labor card copy nor she remembers the number. Now you help, how can you find out the labor card is cancelled or not. I told you Chocoholic be practical, and dont take it personal, if you need any help regarding visa issues I can help you.

Take care

erm given that she posted the labour card number on here - then removed it after I told her to, yes she does! So therefore she can check online through the MOL eservices portal. or you know pick up the phone call them and ASK! It's really not difficult! Even if you don't have your labour card number, you can call them and they can verify your details through other routes - I have done this also! So STOP saying it cannot be done, because it can and I have done it.

All you're doing is looking for business, when people can do this without paying someone else to do it for them.

Surely that's practical enough for you!!!

She does'nt posted her labor card no. she gave only the immiration visa number and later she removed.

Regarding my business, I dont' have to beg or search around for work, we are very reputed and known in Dubai since long time. I just wanna help.

lets wait from Pretty, how much she benefitted from your help.

Regardless she can still get the relevant info just by calling and confirming a few details.

If a person wants to get someone else to do the work for them, then fine. But it's pretty easy to do it yourself if you have the necessary know-how.

It's really not that difficult.

How do we know you run a reputable business? You've never stated the name, contact details and you use a 'personal' email address.

Don't have a go at me, purely because I've proved you can get all the info necessary WITHOUT having to use someone like you.

ok lets wait for response from the person. I don't want to tell more, just wait................

can one of you kindly tell me how long it takes to get a service visa Processed?

Also what is the implication of not using a previously issued one..

chocoholic: Thanks for the information, i got the numbers off some sites but apparently today + Tomorrow is a work free day.

I was just a bet curious in regards with the link you have given; I tried to check there my name in regards with my labor card # but it stated there only 'for request and need to go to';for the typing'"

they also asked for my person code which I dunno coz I still dunno what is my labor card #

How can I checked it when i am here outside UAE?

Can I ask a friend to do this for me and do the typing request form?

Thank you

prettymheeia , Just call the helpline number and speak to someone! They can also give you your code number once they verify who you are. Always the best bet is to just pick up the phone and speak to someone! They're very helpful and nice at the MOL so you won't have any issues.

Orumeb , They don't work Fri/Sat as it's the weekend and most of these offices close at either 1 or 2.

Chocoholic, I just want to know what the exact helpline number so I can call it directly to them,,I saw lots of number....I dunno which is the right one....



Thank you

The MOL Dubai office would be your obvious starting point: 047023333

Thank you so much chocoholic I will try to reached them....

prettymheeia , any update regarding your case.

dsg,honestly I've been screwed up totally,I tried to called lots of numbers from MOL but still it just same,no one is answering my call and its hard to call over long distances..

I tried to check the validity of my visa and its still valid til the date 14/02/2013.

I also tried to communicate with my old company but it just like as always,phone is ringing after several times and suddenly switch off, I even send mails and txt msgs to my employer and telling him to settle everything. I used to do this everyday..

I want everything to get fine soon..

I just wanna know if my visa was already cancelled or not and what is my status in Dubai..

As I found out also that I cant work to any GCC countries while having a pending cancellation with some other GCC countries..

If your getting info that your visa is still valid, then obviously it's not been cancelled and is still active. If you're getting nowhere with your employer, you really do need to file a case with the Ministry of Labour so they can help you sort it out. Sadly this is all very difficult for you to do from a distance, you really need to be here to get any kind of headway as you need to speak to these people in person. Ramadan starts this weekend, so don't expect to get anything out of anyone for the next month.

I tried to go to Labor after my company got closed asking for help how to cancelled my visa due to the refusal of my company but the people in the labor office asked me to do some typing and pay some for it. Telling me that I have to give the other copy to my employer and asked me to talk to them again to do the cancellation its been 2years now but still no improvement.

And what makes me confused why I don't have labor card?

And I don't know how to get there when my passport is with my employer.

Just in case the visa will expire and its still not cancelled what will happened to it?

Am I gonna have some fines or life time ban just in case?

I have a new passport with me but i don't know if I can get any visa while Having this issues....

If your visa is not cancelled, when it expires you start to acrue fines. Sounds like you really need help from the Labour department and file a case against the employer. What they've done is terrible.

prettymheeia , good luck try to call them or make a complain in labor department against your employer from your home country if you can.

Chocoholic,absolutely right this situation is so terrible and I don't know how to get rid of this.

prettymheeia , I told you before I can help you out of this, but u don't trust.

prettymheeia , Is there no way you can apply for a new passport? Say you lost your old one or something? You really do need to get hold of someone at the MOL and immigration, they can help you with this.

I already have new passport but I dont know if i can get any visa while having my visa issues....

What you could do is go to the polcie and say your former employer has stoeln your passport - they have it and refuse to return it or do anything. Any employer withholding a persons passport for any reason is breaking the law.

prettymheeia , What I told is correct. Now you cannot get the Visa for UAE, unless you clear your file from both Labor and Immigration Department. As you are out of country, ask your any friend to solve the matter in Labor or Immgration, tel them the story, how it happend. As per the Labor law the company cannot make you absconding if you are out of country, may be he filed some other criminal cases against you, that is why it happend. (or) Ask any of your friend in UAE to get visit visa for you, as you have the new PP, may be you will get that but once you enter the Dubai Airport the Immgration person will take you under their custody they will transfer you to Al Aweer Immigration Jail and call your employer to solve the matter.

My friend went back to philippines because of medical problem. He was given 3 months period to come back. When his ready to came back he got sick again. And until now its already 8 months his not coming thinking that he has a ban? How can he know if he has a ban. His labor card is not with him. Pls. Help
