Re: Overstay in UAE
Yes they are in the process...the delay now is because they are having issues with the visa of another staff member and they cant make individual payments therefore the rest of us have to wait whilst our overstay fines increase day by day (altho am happy to hear its only 10dhs/day)...however they have told me that the amount will be taken out of my salary or I give them cash...total bollocks really!!

Re: Overstay in UAE
Is there a shortcut of where I can find written confirmation that the company is in fact responsible for paying?? I just know that if i speak to anyone, they will just give me different info and not only that, if i approach them with the company they will then change their advice again - its happened before...dubai dubai dubai...

it's a minefield to say the least! good luck, stick at it. Threaten the old Company with the Labour Court, infact threaten both of them!

I appreciate that this is not the same situation but the article below clearly states that no employee has to pay any visa fees as this is illegal

Hope that this helps

Also do you know if the 6 month ban is still valid as there were rumours going around that this had been lifted due to the recession period. Would this be applicable if one wants to leave the company during his/her probation period?

If they have issued you with labout approval then yes they can ban you even if they have not placed a residence visa in your passport.
