How to avoid 6 month labour ban in Dubai UAE?
Labour Ban rule has been amended by MOL in New UAE Labour Law Resolution 765. Please read the updated Article: Termination and Labour Ban
Employees who have been slapped with a six-month labour ban for breaking their contracts before the expiry of two years can work for a new company, provided they hold at least a high school diploma and have been offered a good position and salary by the new company, employers were told by the Ministry of Labour .
To lift the 6 month labour ban, an employee should have been offered a minimum salary of
- AED 5,000 for high school graduates,
- AED 7,000 for diploma holders and
- AED 12,000 for bachelor’s degree holders. (This salary must be mentioned in the labour contract.)
- Obtain No Objection Certificate from current employer.
Another way you can avoid labour ban is:
- You obtain a job in a Government, Semi-Government or in Free Zone based Companies.
- Be polite and talk to your employer if you wish to terminate your employment and have the mutual consent from both employee and employer
- Always make sure to complete your labour contract whether it is fixed or unlimited.

No fee will be imposed for lifting the labour ban when these conditions are met, Ali Al Shehi, Senior Administrator at the ministry, said in a seminar held to inform employers about their rights and duties as well as recent ministerial decisions.
“We are still imposing the six-month labour ban on employees who quit their jobs before completing two years of service, but the ban can be lifted if the new employer offers the candidate a good position and an appropriate salary,” he said.
The new employer needs to submit the employee’s educational qualification certificates, which does not need to be attested at this stage. It will be scanned and entered into the Tas’heel system, and a new labour permit will be issued accordingly.
Al Shehi told employers that as of January 2012, company categories will have a different scale when it comes to labour permit applications.
“When a new company is registered, it will be charged AED 1,500 for each of the first four work permits to be issued to the company, which corresponds with category B2,” he said.
Afterwards, the company can move up or down categories B1, B2 or B3, or C depending on its activity, the number of employees it hires, their qualifications and diversification in the nationalities of workers.
Companies in B1 category pay AED 600 per work permit, while B2 companies pay AED 1,500 and B3 companies pay AED 2,000 for each permit.
Diversification by Companies
“This step aims to encourage diversification and hiring employees from various nationalities, so companies who hire workers from one nationality will not be upgraded, while those that hire from more nationalities will move up to categories B3, B2 and so on,” Al Shehi said, adding that companies will also upgrade their categories by hiring skilled workers.
He advised people who want to start new companies to check their sponsor’s record at the Department of Economic Development (DED) to ensure that their record is clear and they have no other companies facing problems, which will hinder their application.
“The sponsor of a company has to clear any outstanding dues or labour issues before he can sponsor another one, so we advise those who want to open a new business to look for a sponsor who has no other companies registered under his name,” Al Shehi said.
UPDATE on Labour ban from Gulfnews.com
:
People working in the UAE can still be banned for up to a year if they try to change jobs, a Ministry of Labour official has said.
The ban can be implemented even when an employee quits his or her job after two years of service.
Labour Ban can be lifted, however, if the new employer offers the candidate a better position than the existing one and a salary that suits the person’s qualification, according to a scale set by the ministry, an official told Gulf News. (Read first paragraph)
There are still questions about the circumstances in which an employment ban can be enforced when a resident decides to quit their job with a view to securing employment with a new company, but officials say there are exceptions which allow bans to be lifted.
The rules and regulations that stipulate when a ban can be imposed and enforced depend on a number of legal thresholds.
Traditionally, the Ministry of Labour can automatically impose a ban when an employer terminates an unlimited labour contract before completing one year of service.
As a general rule, a labour ban is still “imposed on all expatriate employees in the UAE who are working in the private sector when they want to change from one employer to another if they left the current employer without having completed a minimum of two years service,” a ministry of labour official said. “An employment ban, labour ban, work permit ban are used for the same thing which means one will not be allowed to perform any kind of work in the UAE for a certain period of time and these are imposed for six months, one year, or there could be life ban.”
The official said a one-year ban may be imposed at the request of a sponsor if a worker resigns before the completion of a limited period contract.

A permanent ban could also be given to absconding employees or those who violate the labour law.
But there are exceptions to the rules: How to avoid Labour Ban?
Residents can move to another company if the employee remains under the same UAE sponsor or if the employee has a higher level of education to fulfil a position that is needed within the country.
“Employees who have been slapped with a six-month labour ban for breaking their contracts before the expiry of two years can work for a new company, provided they hold at least a high school diploma and have been offered a good position and salary by the new company.”
He said employees working in the UAE who receive a six-month labour ban for breaking an employment contract within two years can have the ban lifted if the employee is changing job for the companies under the same sponsor.
–If the employee has a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the current sponsor then he or she will be able to move to another company under a different sponsor, the official said.
–The minimum salary in a new position is Dh5,000 for high school diploma holders, Dh7,000 for post-secondary school diploma holders, and Dh12,000 for Bachelor degree holders.
No fee will be imposed for lifting the labour ban when these conditions are met, according to a senior administrator at the ministry.
“We are still imposing the six-month labour ban on employees who quit their jobs before completing two years of service, but the ban can be lifted if the new employer offers the candidate a higher position and a salary equal or above the salary set by the minister against his or her qualifications,” he said.
The ministry said that if the employee has violated the contract in any way, then irrespective of resignation or termination, a ban can be enforced.
Women sponsored by family: Do they have labour ban?
A six-month ban imposed by the Ministry of Labour on people who fail to complete the period of employment stipulated under labour rules also applies to working women sponsored by their family members.(Father or Husband)
An official from the Ministry said women seeking to change their jobs or leave work before completing the contractual obligation of two years with their employer would automatically attract the labour ban.
The official said the labour ban would take effect the moment a woman under the sponsorship of her husband or father cancels her labour card.
He said the mandatory six-month labour ban applies to both men and women, even if individuals are sponsored by family members, and is calculated from the date an employee’s labour card is cancelled at the Ministry of Labour.
“This is an administrative ban, meaning that a block is inserted into the ministry’s computer system preventing an application for labour approval being processed against [the] banned person’s name and passport number,” he said.
The ban cannot be lifted by paying a fine.
Complaints
Some workers have complained that the Ministry of Labour is still seeking approval from sponsors if they wish to change their jobs after two years.
Those affected point to the Ministry’s earlier reforms to the labour law which did away with the need for a sponsor’s approval for employees who have been with their sponsors for two continuous years. The workers complained that they were being banned for one year for failing to secure such approval.
The labour rules, which were implemented in 2011 by the Ministry of Labour, allowed workers to switch jobs at the end of their employment contracts without the need for a no-objection certificate.
But a legal consultant at the Ministry of Labour clarified the rules and said expatriate workers would still receive a one-year ban if they failed to get their sponsor’s consent before changing jobs.
“No one is allowed to switch jobs even if they complete many years in their [current job], without the consent of their sponsor,” he said.
He also said the new law allows workers to change employment in cases such as when the company employing them has closed down and no longer exists.
“But those workers will be given one-year ban if they do not file a complaint at the Ministry in less than two months after the [closure] of their company.”
Which professions do not have labour ban?
Article 2 of the Ministerial Order No. 13 of 1991 on ‘The organisation of the transfer of sponsorships of non-national labours the rules governing the same’, which states, “Non-national labourers may be allowed to transfer one job to another and hence transfer of their sponsorship of they fall under the following categories:
(a) Engineers
(b) Doctors, pharmacists and male and female nurses
(c) Agricultural guides
(d) Qualified accountants and account auditors
(e) Qualified administrative officials
(f) Technicians operating on electronic equipment and laboratories
(g) Drivers who are licensed to drive heavy vehicles and buses.”
If you get a labour ban, you may subsequently have the ban lifted on the basis of your qualifications. Also, you may have the ban lifted if your subsequent job provides you the required salary for non-imposition/lifting of a labour ban.
The salary requirement are in accordance with Article 4 of the Ministerial Order No. 1186 of 2010 which states, “As an exception to the provision of Item No. 2 of Article 2 of this Resolution, the Ministry may issue a work permit to an employee without requiring the two year period in the following cases:
(a) In the event that the employee is starting his new position the first, second or third professional levels after fulfilling the conditions for joining any of these levels according to the rules in force at the Ministry, and provided that his new wage is not less than Dh12,000 at the first professional level, Dh7,000 at the second professional level and Dh5,000 at the third professional level.”

One of my friend is working with a construction company in UAE for the last three months. Her probation period was 3 months which she has completed. She wants to resign from her current position due to her health issues and she is on a sponsor visa. She is ready to serve a months notice period as per her contract.
My question:
Will she face a labor ban?
What all are the documents to be collected from the company to avoid such ban?
Hello There, I’m Kinda in a dilemma here, I’m a B.Tech Mechanical Engineer ( Certificate UAE Attested ) , Currently working as Project Coordinator , but as per my VISA ( Limited Contract) my designation is ” Archives Clerk ” Fetching 2500AED / Month ( Was promised 3000AED as per my offer letter ), I have completed 1 year now.
I’m Planning to switch my Job, so will i be liable to get a Ban if get a pay of 5000 AED above and get a Engineering VISA. ??
dear deepak tell me if i complete my 3 months probation period and leave my job then can i face 6 months ban or not please reply me this is my 1st visa and i enter in country 2 september visa stamping date is 28 sep
HI,
I AM GOHAR ABBAS I WANT TO LEAVE MY COMPANY MY PROBATION PERIOD IS 3 MONTHS SO IF I LEAVE THIS TIME THEN CAN I FACE THE 6 MONTHS BAN OR NO PLEASE ANY ONE TELL ME ABOUT THAT
hello my name is lovely i signed a job offer last april 2016 then i wasnt able to be finished the 6months probitionary period, i asked my company to terminate me and to sign the termination letter last monday november 8, 2016 it means both side agreed to terminate the 6months probitionary period…it means labour will give me an automatic ban for wat the decisions i made?i hope u can help me to give a clear explanation with this.?
I joined my company as accountant on 13 Nov 2015 by signing 2 years contact (don’t know, limited or not) on AED 5000 pay (inclusive all benefits) and got “Archives Clerk” visa. I am a graduate (16 years education).
I got approval of my annual leaves from employer and went to my home country. Soon after coming back to Dubai from vacations, my employer said me to resign (it was like a force resign) on 31 Oct 2016. Basically employer said, he don’t want to terminate me so better I resign, he will pay me one month salary (of Nov 2016) in first week of November, and during this month (Nov), I do not need to come to office and find another job.
The reason why employer doesn’t want me to continue is that, he is not satisfied by my performance.
Here are his words, “I cannot compromise on anything less than perfect”, and secondly “there is no creativity or innovation in your work”.
Now my question is; should I resign? or ask for termination?
What can be consequences in both cases. How should I deal with this situation????
Should I go to ministry of labour???
When should I resign / ask for termination (means, in how many days), if I have to do so?
How much employer will be liable to pay me in any case?
For record, my annual leaves are ending on 1st Nov 2016 (21 days: 8 Oct 16 to 1 Nov 16), and I was supposed to be re-joining office from second Nov 2016.
Please reply fast, I am running out of time here !!!!!!
I’m working for a governmental department, and am currently within my probation period. If I leave this job to go to another one, will I receive a ban? I really can’t see my current employer giving me a NOC. What happens in this case? I’d really appreciate a response, as I’m at my wit’s end. 🙁
Many thanks!
Fiona

Good day,
Hi. My inquiry is what if the employer terminate the services of the employee after serving more than 6 months but less than a year and the contract was for unlimited period of time. Will there be automatic labour ban against the employee? In this question , it is the employer who terminated the services of the employee without the fault of the employee. And that the former company is allowing their staff to find another job and after which they will release the employee. Can they find another job without a labor ban?
Regards

Hi All,
I just want some clarifications about types of Ban in the U.A.E. Recently, I got a job offer from a Government Institution here in Dubai and offered me a much better position and salary monthly AED 20,000 plus. My Current employer is giving me AED 4,250. I already gave to them my 30 days notice so that I can perform training and transition to whoever will fill my current position & processes handled. I already served 8 months here, (2 months – they used my tourist visa + 6 months – employment visa) I am in an unlimited type of contract and a holding a Bachelors Degree. My current employer is acting like they gonna imposed some ban on me but I tried to read some rules and articles here in dubai that a ban can be lifted if the following conditions are met:
***To lift the 6 month labour ban, an employee should have been offered a minimum salary of
-AED 5,000 for high school graduates,
-AED 7,000 for diploma holders and
-AED 12,000 for bachelor’s degree holders. (This salary must be mentioned in the labour2 contract.)
-Obtain No Objection Certificate from current employer.
Another way you could avoid labor ban is:
-You obtain a job in a Government, Semi-Government or in Free Zone based Companies.
However, I am still have concerns of my situation here. Can you help me put some clarifications on my mind regarding this? and I also heard about “company ban”, is there such thing as that? – is it true that a company can file a ban to labor department and imposed a ban on an employee not completing an unlimited type of contract???
Thank you so much!
Hi! Since you’re under unlimited contract, they cannot impose a ban to you for as long as you fulfill your 30 days notice and your new salary should be 5000 AED and above, freezone or government entity. However, you may not get gratuity pay since you didn’t complete at least 1 year of your contract.

Dear,
please advice….Initially my brother was directly recruited from India and on March 9th, 2014, joined a Bank under an outsourced visa. Later was promoted to wealth management on June 1st 2015, under the same visa and he submitted his resignation on Nov 30th 2015, the management said that as he was on his probation in his new profile he will not have to serve the notice period and also he is not eligible for any end of service benefits and after a months’ time on Dec 27th his visa was cancelled.
Later when the current employer applied for his visa, the application got rejected stating that he had a ban for 6 months, when inquired in MOL and Tasheel, they required his certificate to be attested and a offer letter from the current employer wherein the offered salary has to be above AED 5000/- as all the requirements were met and when his current employer re-submitted his visa application it was again rejected stating that the ban existed and when checked with MOL, they asked for an NOC from his previous employer and also stated that the ban is a automatic system updated ban and in-order to lift it the NOC is very much required.
When asked for the NOC to the previous employer, they said that they don’t give any such NOC.In this case how can the ban be lifted?
New offer: 12000
New profession: marketing specialist
Qualification: MBA (certificate attested)

Hi
I have started in a Insurance Job less than 3 months ago and am currently on probation. The job is in Dubai but I live in Abu Dhabi.
I have a interview for a similar position in Abu Dhabi next week and would be on a far better package financially and of course would not have the daily grind to contend with.
Will I receive a labour ban if I hand in my notice before my 3 months probation are expired? How easy is it to get such a ban overturned if I get a better offer from the other employers?
Thanks

Hi Deepak,
Hopefully, you can assist me on my queries.
I’m currently working in a private company earning more than required for bachelor’s degree holder. contract is unlimited and I’m in the 6th month of my stay in the company.
I’m seriously considering leaving the company and ‘m already expecting that other companies may not offer me 12k and up which is a minimum for bachelor’s degree holder. and it’s fine with me.
I want to know first, Obtaining a No Objection Certificate from current employer – is this still applicable? If it is, will the next employer need to accept this?
Second, Will I need to pay anything before leaving my current employer?
Thanks!
Dear Deepak,
I work in non free zone company under unlimited contract.
I am professionally engineer but my visa is clerk.
now due to reason I resigned before the completion of my probation period so could you please give me answer on below question;
1) 6 month ban applicable to me ?
2) If I join company in free zone then 6 month ban applicable to me ?
3)What is mean by immigration ban & how I come to know that ban is applicable to me?
Waiting for your valuable reply.
Hi Deepak,
How are you? I’ve been reading your posts for a while and I find them very informative. I hope you could also help me with my current dilemma. I am about to transfer to another company, and is subject to ban since I have not reached 2 years working on my current company. Nevertheless, I can provide the necessary attested documents in order for the ban to be lifted, so I think it’s not gonna be much of a problem. Though the processing may take time as it is yet to be processed in my home country. Furthermore, I am about to tender my resignation on Oct 27, 2015, and because of the 30 day notice period, I can have my current residence visa cancelled on Nov 27, 2015. I am also planning to have a quick vacation on Dec. 27, 2015 until Jan 2, 2016. I would have want my new residence visa ready by the time I leave for vacation to avoid any immigration issues, but the new employer said there might not enough time for the residence visa to be ready before I leave for vacation. Now the following are my questions:
1. Base on what I understand, issuing a new residence Visa will require the process of (a) application of a new labour permit and then after it’s issuance (b) visa stamping of the passport upon presentation of the required documents. Since base on the time left, I might not get to “step (b)” before my vacation, is there a chance that I can still go out for vacation with the labour permit/pink visa on hand (assuming it’s issued already) and return to UAE without any problem? If it’s possible, what document should I present upon leaving, and what document to present upon my return to UAE?
2. Are the attested documents required during the application of new labour permit? Or is it only required during the stamping of the residence visa on my passport?
Thank you in advance, and hopefully you can help me with this at the soonest time.

Hi Deepak,
I am a diploma holder getting 8500 AED PM and my visa designation is Assistant Engineer but I have been working here in UAE as a draftsman .
I got an offer from another company in UAE they are offering 10000 AED but I think they will not give me Engineer’s visa may be they will issue Draftsman’s visa.
I know my current company will not issue any NOC and I am within 2 years of Unlimited contract.
So my question is that Is there any labour ban will apply for me but I am wondering I am changing my job because of better salary as per my diploma qualification. But I am afraid about my Assistant Engineer’s post in my current visa.
Can you help me out by giving the information and way out. Waiting for your kind answer.

Hi,
Good morning, hope you are doing great today.
I just wanted to check my wife she was working in company first time she got a better opportunity with the salary more then 8K. She is actually from Ukraine her degree is from the University which is due to war has been closed. Now her employeer is trying to apply her visa but they ask for the translated certificate and it should be legalized also. Can you please guide what it can be. As per general law it can be if 5K salary and Intermediate certificate it will not be a ban. But why he cant apply on her Intermediate docs if she has 8K salary.
Situation is little confusing now actually.
Thanks for your quick response in advance.
Warm Regards,
Mohammad.
Mohammad,
Is the certificate already attested??
If it is attested, you could visit any legal translation office in UAE and get it translated.
Graduates should have 12K+ salary to avoid labour ban.

Aminah,
Staying in uae without visa is illegal and your brother has already overstayed.
Better to inquire with immigration on the status.
HI Deepak,
Currently my salary is 8k and in labour contract is 5k and a limited contract. even tough I have an engineering degree is it possible for me to move to other company with my high school certificate for that it requires only 5k right? or is it necessary to have the engineering visa and salary 12k to be shown in contract? Also what about people having limited contract and salary 12k if they get more salary can they move to other company without ban?
Desp,
Yes, engineers usually have no labour ban.

I am a graduate on residence visa(husband sponsorship)
I joined a company in feb 2015, a limited contract. I left in june 2015 within probation due to harassment. However, the company did not cancelld my labour card and it is still showing as active. If they would have cancelled my labour card in June itself it would have been completed 3 months, if at all labour ban is applied.
Should the labour card be cancelled from June Itself???
Can I join a new company on immigration/employment visa with active labour card?
What can i do now
please assist.
Regards
Nil,
It is better to get the labour card cancelled.
The new company obviously will have information regarding your previous employment as the systems are integrated.
Thank you Deepak,
As per my understanding the previous employer should have cancelled the visa in june at the time of resination acceptance. If they cancel it now, then, my 3 months from 6 months ban is wasted.
Shall I inform this to MOL if they are not cancelling from JUNE
Nil,
No,labour card and visa is cancelled after your employment is finished including notice period.
Hi Deepak,
Thank you.
I am sorry but I am unable to understand. I am not working with the company since june 2015. but my labout card is not cancelled.
Does the company require to cancel my labour card??? If yes, from when???
Will i get a labour ban though I am graduate??
Nil,
Your labour should be cancelled after you have served the notice period.

Will great full if you can advice me in the problem
I working with Western Auto for the last 11 months from 2014 Oct 28 till today. Now i got job in emirates airline as a Bus Driver .
Now emirate group informed me to resign from my current employee . i
had prepared resignation letter with notice period of 1 month.
As i know emirate group is government company so their will be no ban i think so and if there is labor ban is their where i can go and lift it. Emirates is offering 3200 as a basic + 1800 H.r.a with a total amount of 5000 salary with my qualification which is S.S.L.C
But emirates send me a message
” If you are joining us from UAE and holding a UAE residence/employment visa please commence your visa cancellation formalities. However please note that it is your responsibility to ensure cancellation of the same without any ban from UAE Immigration or Labour department. If a ban has been imposed whilst cancelling your current visa the UAE immigration department will reject the application for a new employment visa. This will lead to the withdrawal of your offer of employment.
Emirates Group will not be liable if you have been issued with any sort of ban at the time of your current visa cancellation either from the labour or immigration department.”
What is this message cant emirates lift the ban
Plz Waiting for your kind reply to forward my resignation
Hameed,
I think they are saying about immigration ban if you are on Limited Contract.
What type of contract do you have currently? Limited contract or unlimited contract?
Please be careful while resigning. You may end up losing both the current job and new offer.

Sir Deepak,
I am wondering why you are not replying to my inquiry as per below…

Dear Sir,
Thank you for this very helpful blog of yours. Thus, I still want to ask with regards to my current employment status. I am a BACHELOR DEGREE HOLDER currently working in a PRIVATE COMPANY under LIMITED CONTRACT that will expire on FEBRUARY 2017. If I will resign from my current job,
1. I still need to give 1 month notice, right?
2. What kind of ban should be impose unto me if I resign? 6 months or 1 year?
3. If I will be employed in a Freezone Company, will the ban be lifted regardless of my new offer salary?
4. If I will be employed in a Private Company again, does this mean I should have 12,000AED new salary offer? or NOC from my current employer will help to lift my ban even my new salary is below 12,000AED?
5. If my current company wants to close and just cancel my employment, I will still have ban? If yes, what kind of ban? and how this ban be lifted?
Hope you could answer my inquiry Sir. Because this really bothers me. Thank you.

5. No.
Hi Deepak,
My company is under financial stress and have not paid the salaries. But it has said that it will release those who want to leave for another job. I got another job where salary is less than 5000 aed. I got Noc and i am still in probabation period. I am engineer by profession. Do i get a ban?…In case yes what is the procedure to avoid it?
Brian,
Engineers usually do not face labour ban.
Dear Deepek,
Thanks for your information 🙂
I am an Int. Design Engineer, but my salary is really low and so my employer is fine to give me NOC to find another job and I have just worked 2 months with my current employer. Can I switch my job without getting a ban if I get NOC?
One more thing, I am BSc qualified, do I have to look for a job which offers AED 12000 or more or I can just look for any pay job with NOC?
Thank you.
Raymond,
NOC may help. But it is up to MOL.
Hi Deepak,
How does one go about getting a ban lifted?
Tom,
You will have to match the criteria as mentioned in the article and then you can lift the labour ban at MOL.

But currently my profession kept in visa as ” Follow up clerk” I didn’t submitted any certificates to take my current visa 1.5 years ago . The company who is wishing to hire is taking me in the role of Production manager?? will it be an issue?? .. Will I get ban depends on my current profession in visa as clerk??

Hey Deepak what do you think, those people who are working on residence visa or what you call immigration visa provided by the company. If they resign what type of ban they would be facing? Because I am working in such a company where they have provided us with a immigration visa / residence visa but we don’t carry labor card sort of thing. I am planning to leave company after 3 months of my joining. I would like to have your word on this.

Dear Deepak,
My son is an Engineer,who worked in a FZC of Sharjah as Design Engineer in 2006-07.Due to family circumstances, he was unable to return back and hence he submitted resignation explaining the facts and requested to cancel the residence visa and work permit. Because the company wanted to retain my son, they were insisting to come back,which he was not able to comply due to unavoidable family circumstances. Now more than 7 years passed and in the meantime, he visited UAE two times since 2012 and finally during his third official visit , he was detained at Abu Dhabi and now , he is working in a reputed company in India. At that time, we came to know that his former employer in Sharjah has reported my son as absconded and had requested to take action.Based on that, a Search order had been issued.
After knowing that, former FZC employer was contacted and they gave their NOC
along with other documents required for cancelling the Residence Visa and requested for ‘STOP SEARCH’. This was accepted by the SAIF Zone Authorities and in turn SAIF Zone Authorities gave a letter addressing The Hanorary General ,Directorate of Residence and foreign affairs requesting to remove ‘STOP SEARCH’ as the matter is over. With all the relevant documents,when we approached Sharjah authorities, they told that this is a old case and only Abu dhabi Authorities had to deal it and vice versa,Normally residence visa will expire if the visa holder is out of UAE for mor than six months These are told by immigration authorities at Sharjah and then why it happens so?
Under this stage, my son is about to be deported with a ban. What type of ban wille issued in such case ?What legal remedy we can seek ,if my son is deported with a ban ?

This is most probably case of filing absconding case.
You must visit the place where he has been detained. Only the particular department within the immigration will be able to intervene.

Will No Objection Certificate Help me to get rid of 6 months Labour ban or will it be of no use. as every one is saying i will get 6 months default labour ban even if i get NOC
Mereeta,
yes, NOC could help.
Hello Sir.
I submitted a one month notice of non renewal to my old employer, but I was cancelled early than the date my labour contract will expire. Because of this I had an automatic 6 months labour ban.
I went to Tasheel to inquire on what I should do. A complaint was filed under my old employer. Is this the only way I can lift my ban? My old employer gave me NOC, but it was not taken by Tasheel. Kindly advice on what I should do.
Thank you.
Ren,
Only Tasheel should be able to help you.
Hello Deepak,
Do we have a labour ban on Husband Sponsorship Visa ?
My friends told me no labour ban on Husband Visa. That means i got a wrong information.
Priya,
I replied earlier!
Dear Deepak ,
Please ,need quick response as i am already very late…..
With my previous employer I worked as accountant but my visa was of security guard and my salary in my labour contract was AED 3,000/- with unlimited contract .
I cancelled my unlimited visa from my previous employer after 23 month of service and got BAN on VISA(told by my new company PRO).
Now with my new employer I have a limited contract as a TAX ACCOUNTING CLERK with salary of 5,000/- AED issued on my graduation in commerce degree.
The PRO of my new employer charged me 3310/-AED for removal of ban because he is saying that he paid this amount to Govt. for lifting my ban.
Please reply me whether any amount is charged by Govt. on lifting my ban because my PRO is now asking for me to pay him this amount.
Nabeel,
I am not sure about that!!
I have never heard this. Ask him for the receipt.
Dear Deepak,
I am new in UAE. i just have 3months employment with my current employer. Sir, the atmosphere in this company is not good. The MD of this company is approaching the new employees to reduce there salary after 1 or 2 months. His reason is not getting a 100 percent job satisfaction from those employees, then he is making there salary to reduce the half of there agreement salary. A lot of employees salary was already reduced the half of there actual salary. This type of activities is still on going. the new employees are afraid of this UAE ban. So they are signing the new agreement letter and continuing upto the two years to avoid the ban. Sir, i am a diploma in mechanical engineering holder, and working in this company as a clerk with a salary of AED5000. My diploma certificate is already attested. sir, i would like to know..is the UAE ban will affect for me if i submit my resignation letter.
Thanks,
Edris.
Edris,
Salary can not be reduced from what is in the labor contract.
Yes, you will face labour ban unless you do finish contract or meet any rules to avoid the ban.
Hello Deepak,
I am working for a Company in Dubai under Husband sponsorship visa.
I am not comfortable with current job so planning to quit the job.
As i am on husband visa, will i have a ban..
Priya,
Even if you are on husband visa, labour ban does apply!
Many of my friends are under husband visa and they said this to me that they can leave the job when ever they want. There is no ban.
I am not still clear with this.
Priya,
I wish all your female friends on husband visa all the best!!
There is a difference between being on husband visa and labour ban.
Labour ban is issued by MOL and “husband visa” is processed by immigration.
If anyone has labour approval through MOL, they would definitely face labour ban in case they have not completed the contract!
I came dubai 24.12.2013. by labour card expire date 24.12.2015
and my visa will expire on 17.02.2016
if i cancell my visa from my company before 1 month or 15 days of my visa expire (suppose 17.01.2015) or (01.02.2016)
then if i ban for six month or not?
if i have a chance to ban for six month then when i should cancel my visa after 17.02.2016?
it sould be 2016 not 2015
it should be (17.01.2016 )not (17.01.2015)
Jiyaul,
If you complete your contract, there may be no labour ban.
Dear Deepak,
I have working with Some IT Sales Company I came here in Dubai on 10 March on 3 months visit and after got a Job on May. After facing in/out procedure, now I came here in Dubai on 18-06-2015.

Now I want to switch my job. My salary is 10000 AED. On what conditions can I escape the 6 months labor ban, if I quit the company within my probation period?? Awaiting for your reply.

You must first file a complaint with MOL for non payment of salary.
MOL will take action and assist in your situation.
Hi Deepak,
I am working as Sales Coordinator in an IT Company for over an year. I hold an MBA. But the company has given my qualification as High School for Visa purpose.
My salary is 3500AED. Will I be imposed with a ban if i quit this job and try for an new one?

However, it depends on the laws of MOL.
Dear Mr. Deepak.

now i came back to UAE on visit visa and i’m surprised to know that i’ve 6 months labour ban on me. Ministry of labour cancelled me because of salary issue. now i’ve got offers from different companies with salary of 3000.but this salary cannot lift my ban. i’ve left one month of my visit visa.
i contacted to labour office sharjah and asked for solution . they told me about Ban Lifting Request.
I Need your guidance and opinion for this matter.
waiting for your answer soon.
Muhammad,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I was out of station for couple weeks.
The labour ban is automatically imposed.
If they have such a feature like Ban Lifting Request, you should file it with the MOL.
Dear Deepak,
I am working in a LLC company since December 2014. Now I would like to search for another opportunity. I got to know that there will be ban applicable if I quite my job and it can be avoided in case if I crossed in certain criteria like salary limit. But my salary is 4000 and even if switch to other company it will not reach to 12000 as the companies will consider based on last drawn salary.
1. My question here is I am a MBA graduate and my PG degree is attested. Will there be any ban if I move to any other company either LLC / Freezones?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Pandian
Pandian,
Usually PG holders would not face labour ban.
Dear Mr. Deepak,
Thanks for your reply.
However I have sponsored my wife on family visa. In case if I am switching job and new employer is asking for 1 month notice to join, do I need to cancel my wife’s visa and reapply by exit from the country or can be done without she exit from the country.
Please clarify.
Thanks.
Pandian
Pandian,
Earlier the facility to hold dependent visa was available. I am not sure whether this is available now.
I don’t think she needs to exit. You could change the status within UAE.

Hi,
Will I have a labour ban if I change my job after a year?
I am currently working in a private company (retail), working as a Graphic Designer, recieving 3000 AED per month as per verbal agreement. I am under unlimited contract. But in my contract and other documents, it says that my position is SALES, salary of total 2000 (600 basic). I did not submit any educational diplomas or any certificate on my current company (they didn’t asked for it).
Based on this page (http://www.khaleejtimes.com/legalview/of-labour-ban-and-contracts), whoever has completed at least a year under unlimited contract will not have a ban if they wish to change their job or resign. Is this true?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
Will I get a labour ban if I try to change my job after a year? I am currently under unlimited visa. Working as Graphic Designer receiving 3000 per month as per mutual agreement upon interview, but in my contract my position is stated as SALES, and having salary a total of 2000 (600 basic). I did not pass any school documents or certificate to my current employer.
As I have read here, I will not face the ban if I will finish atleast one year under unlimited contract (http://www.khaleejtimes.com/legalview/of-labour-ban-and-contracts). Is this true?
Thank you for your help. I find it a little confusing reading other articles and the law itself.
I like that you use “Game of Thrones” phrases here….hurray!
I believe, you will face ban if you do not complete your contract.
Thank you for your reply. But if my contract is unlimited, when my contract will finish? It has no end date indicated
It is automatically renewed at the end of the tenure.
Dear Deepak,
How are you? I just want to ask if labor ban applies in this case.
I am a receptionist earning 3,000 AED a month and I was offered a nursing job with a salary of 8, 500 AED.
It’s my 7th month now in the company and planning to resign very soon. Will I get a labor ban? thanks
Tanley,
I think if your profession is Nurse in the new company visa, you may not face labour ban.
Pleas check with MOL as I am not entirely sure about this.
dear deepak
my salary not paid for last 3 months.i am going to complaint mol. is there any automatic ban for me.any way to avoid this automatic ban.
Ban is automatically inserted for everyone who are not completing 2 years. Once you got the cancellation you must submit a ban removal application. Once submit a agent from 32nd counter will ask for complain copies as a proof. then they will remove the ban and call you back to let you know the status.
dear sir,
i am working at ENOC(Emirates national oil company) ,3 month before joining now i am change to another job ,how can change to another job
I ot job in dubai with a salary of 2500 AED i was terminated after 5 months now am on visit in dubai to hunt job am a graduate will i hav labour ban what should be my salry in new job to lift labour ban and will my labour ban be over after six months
Kavitha,
Labour ban is for 6 months. Once you finish that term, you are exempt from labour ban.
Joji,
You will need to apply for the new job. Make sure that you do not have a ban.
Semi government organisations may impose a 1 year ban if you do not complete the contract.
hi deepak,
i’m working in LLC as a site engineer (diploma) under limited contract (2 years).
i completed 1 year, & i got a good job with salary 10000AED.

Sundar,

But you need to check with the MOL.

Good day Mr. Deepak,
I’m currently working in a private healthcare company with a salary of 10500AED. I just completed my 2year LIMITED CONTRACT and signed for another 2year LIMITED CONTRACT last week with the same company. Now I just got a higher offer from another private company with salary of 13000AED.
Is there a possibility that I will get a ban? Even if my offer is 13000 AED?
I yes, how can I lift it?
Gerald,
Yes, if you break your limited contract, you will have ban.
What If we have complaint against employer about his and her beehive and we are not getting facility asp labor low . and we win case in labor they told company can canceled but they have to pay what he or her has to get it . And the employer are not afford employ any more . Thy are giving us complaint no so they told us we left the band by that no .
Subash,
I am no authority above the MOL.
I’ve read that you will not get a ban if I got an offer to a company more than 12000aed. In this case I’m a Bachelors Degree holder and had an offer of 13000aed.
Please help me clear my mind.
1. Does this only apply to unlimited contract holders?
2. Am I still getting a ban regardless of my offer more than 12000aed considering I’m a Bachelors Degree holder?
*1st 2year limited contract completed
*renewed my limited contract a week ago
Gerald,
1. Yes, right.
2. If you have limited contract, you will get ban irrespective.
Dear Deepak,
I wanted to resign from my current company as they don’t have any challenging work to do. I also have an offer from India and Planning to move there.
Having an unlimited contract and my 1 year period will end in mid September.
1. Will I face any other Ban apart from Labour ban ? (Labour ban is for 6 months right ?)
2. Do I have to pay any visa expenses, is it a law here in dubai ? if Yes how much does it cost for visa ?
Waiting for your reply.
Thank you 🙂

Hi Deepak,
i was working earlier with Indian Properties company based in Dubai for 5 years and 5 months . My last working day was 7th April 2015 . I resigned the job and went back to India . I came back last month – September 2015 on 3 months Visit Visa currently looking for a job. i have paid 1500 dirham to the person who gave me Visit visa from Tours and Travels company , he paid this money on my behalf when i was in India. 6th Sept 2015 i came back to Dubai and paid him 1500 dirham for giving me 3 months VISIT VISA.
Now this guy is asking 2000 dirham more from me in cash because he told me he paid to the tours and travels office towards the deposit fees.
When i found that there was no such deposit given by him ( who is a guarantor of my VISA) . Can i file a case against this guy and where the case must be put up .
What is the procedure to put up against him ?
Please Advise.
Anil,
I am not sure about this situation.
WHat evidence do you have that you have paid him the money??
Hi Deepak,
Am working with LLC company since Nov 2014, I am graduate (B.Com) and done my MBA in Marketing.
Am looking for the job change, am sure i will get Ban because of not completing 2 years contract.
Now my question is, if i get job in Free Zone company or any other LLC company with salary above 7000 AED pm, i wont get ban.
But what if my current employer wont issue NOC than what needs to be done to uplift the BAN.
Also note my current employer will ask for VISA cancellation charges from me which is approx 7000 AED, so i have to pay this charges for getting NOC or where should i complain about this.
Please help me regarding the NOC and Visa cancellation fees?
Kishor,
Usually MBAs do not get labour ban.
If you shift to a free zone, they would normally not consider labour ban.
However, I have heard recently that JAFZA does consider whether you have labour ban and may not process your visa.
Yes, NOC would help in avoiding labour ban.
Visa cancellation fees should be paid by the company.

Hi, I was working with a Bank through an outsourcing agency. I got terminated because of taking leaves without their approval. I was getting 5500 AED (2500 AED basic and 3000 AED other). Now, I am applying for new job getting offers of around 4000 AED.
Will I have a ban as I am terminated? I do not have any attested degree, if I will attest my graduation degree will it help? or taking NOC is easy from the company? Do I have to take NOC from bank or outsourcing agency?
Please help.
Thanks
Aditi,
Ban is automatic if you have labour card.
However, since you were terminated, MOL may waive the labour ban.
Yes, NOC may help.
Dear Deepak,
I have NOC and post graduate as well but in article not mention clearly weather one of criteria or all criteria should be met.
Shakeeb,
Post graduates do not usually have labour ban.
WIth NOC, you could avoid labour ban.
Dear Sir,
“Post graduates do not usually have labour ban.WIth NOC, you could avoid labour ban”
I have doubt in Post Graduates doesn’t face ban even they offer less than 12000/- with NOC

To avoid labour ban, you will need to attest your degrees.

Ashish
Ashish,
1. Usually engineers do not have labour ban. However, MOL will decide this!
2. Yes, labour ban is applicable if MOL makes it!.
3. No, your records are already with the MOL. So I don’t think you can submit any other certificate!
I had a problem with my company because i have not accepted to work friday and to night,manager has blocked my monthly salary and do not allow me to work again,also he has taken to me all company tools, now already passed 11days in the accommodation without work
I complained to labor ministry it sent me a message to discuss with my company during 6 working day before it get registered on the company but manager did not agree to change its position that no need me again in this company unless I accept to work during these time
he said to me to sign a resign letter before he give me NOC
1) It is right to sign resigns before having NOC
2) What will be the next step after the first message of the labor ministry
Tubo,
1. You need to get it in writing that the NOC will be provided.
2. I am not sure about this. You need to seek help from MOL.
Dear Deepak
My previous company ( LL C, Dubai) is closed due to financial problem. And my previous boss go back to his country and not sure if he will come back. My visa is not yet cancel. How can I get a new employer if my visa is under his sponsor? He gave me NOC before he leave. But He doesn’t want to cancel my visa.
In this case what will I do?
Waiting for your reply

Catherine,
You should file a complaint with the immigration and mention your case.
They will cancel your request if they are not able to contact the sponsor.
hi Deepak,
My recent employer is oil company and semi private government in dubai, I work with them only 5 months. then they told me that i will get 6 months ban in UAE. Im already here in my country now.
My question is,
Is my ban will start after they cancelled my visa OR after I left Dubai?? because im planning to go back dubai after my ban thats why i need to know now if when i will start counting my 6 months ban.
thank you.
Lirpa,
Ban is applicable from the day of visa cancellation.

No my visa has been cancelled and I have a labour ban of 6 months. My visa designation was “Customer Clerk”. Salary was 3750. Company is providing me NOC also and ready to help me to lift ban.
Please guide me with THE HELP OF NOC ONLY … the ban will be removed or not? what are the chances? Thanks.

Xel,
For under graduates the salary required to avoid labour ban is 12K
Hi Deepak,
My labour card has expired. I am awaiting a job offer from another company.
Should I send the documents to renew my labour card in my current company?
Is it ok if I join a new company if my current labour card is expired?
Or should I renew my labour card immediately irrespective of whether I get a positive reply from the new company or not?
Sush,
It depends on how long the new employer takes for new work permit.
It is better to renew the labour card.
Final decision is up to you!
Dear Deepak,
I am on unlimited contract working as a sales manager in a non free zone company since Jan’15. I am on probation for 6 months but my employer has conveyed to me that i wont be getting confirmed due to my performance, so either i will be terminated or i can resign
My query is if i resign ,how can i ensure that i dont get a Labor Ban
My present salary is 9k and i gave my attested PG degree for this job
Many Thanks for this great blog
Rohit,
Usually for terminations, MOL does not issue labour ban.
hi, worked with a free zone company for 5 months, contract was mutually terminated since i dont want to relocate to Saudi Arabia, company has offered to give me NOC, will i have complications with future employers as i job hunt.
Steve,
I don’t think you will face any consequences!
hey Deepak,
i currently work for an LL C company in Abudhabi but recently had an opportunity to interview with a free zone company in Dubai. The salary is about the same but am seriously considering to take the opportunity.
Will i get a ban?
David,
You will have labour ban but that may not be applicable in the free zone.
But you will first need to ask your new prospective company about this.
HI Deepak.
I am currently on 6 months probation working for an organization operating outside of freezone. I have a job offer from another organization, which is also operating outside of freezone.
I hold a bachelors degree and my salary paid by the new employer is AED 12K.
Kindly advise, if my 6 month labor ban can still be waived. Also, can the sponsor impose additional ban on me for leaving during probation period.
1. I intend to leave with a notice of 1 week.?
2. is it necessary to serve a months notice during probation.. This is not mentioned in the contract.
3. If i serve the notice period, can the sponsor still impose a sponsor ban.
Waiting for your valuable comments.
Thanks.
Faisal,
1. OK.
2. Notice period will be as per your contract.
3. yes, ban is possible. But with 12K salary above, you will not have labour ban.
hai deepak,
i’m a graduate and i’m working for a technical company as electrical engineer for 5 months. i got a better job. the company that i work with are willing to give me NOC . i need to know whether there will be a ban if i change my job. if there is, how to lift the ban?
Mobi,
With NOC usually you could avoid labour ban. However, it is up to the MOL to approve your request.
Hence, it is better to confirm with MOL.
I am a/c technician I working full time this Ramadan period. In my work contract, daily working hours is 8hours (Saturday to Thursday) and rest day is Friday
But I work 9hours every day (7am to 12pm and 1pm to 5pm) because company forced us to do it and work also Friday and to night after daily work.
Now I had a problem with my company because I have not accepted to work last Friday in the day and Saturday in the night after 5 o’clock pm, the manager told me to wait my cancelation contract letter in the accommodation without any notice; now already two day without work
How I can do
Where Can I complaint?
Tubo,
You will need to contact MOL and you could file a complaint against your company.
Hi Deepak, your blogs are really helpful. Thanks.
I have 1 question, I’m on probationary and my employer terminated me. They don”t want to provide NOC. Only termination letter is all I have. Is there a way to lift my ban without using the categories(High School, Diploma, Bachelor’s Degree). Thanks in Advance
Ged,
It depends on your qualification coupled with new salary.
Hi Sir Deepak.
I currently hold a labour visa. I have done over 4 Health and safety courses and hold certificates. I am not actually in a hurry to change job but i wish to apply for a driving licence and i was told my visa will not permit me. I will like to know if it is possible for my company to change my visa only and i pay for the charges since i have backup certificates.
thanks
Joel,
Yes, your company can help you change the designation on your visa.

4. No money need to be paid if it is not mentioned in your contract.

Hi Deepak,
Am on a sponsor visa and am working for a company from one month, however the company has made the work permit only for two months my work permit will get expired on 27/07/15, in case if i wish to change my job after 27th july, will there still be a ban.
My salary is 2500
Swetha,
I did not get what you said! You have work permit for 2 months?
Yes the company has given me the work permit letter for two months.
And it will get expired on 27/7/15, hence wanted to know if i will get a ban
Swetha,
Not sure about this as I have no knowledge of this 2 month work permit.
In most cases, I don’t think you will have a ban.
Hi Deepak
Please let me know if i am working as a civil engineer visa and salary is AED7000 within 6months or 1 year period if i get the job and salary will be AED10000 means there is labour ban is applicablefor me even engineer visa?

Hello Deepak,
Mine seems a little complex issue. It was a limited 2 year contract started last November (2014) Due to highly unprofessional nature of work I am quitting after 7 months. Mutually agreed a one month notice period is served already. I am aware there will be a normal 6 month labour ban stamped. my employer expressed no intention to stamp any kind of bans on me. but on the cancellation papers i just notices hand written the following (One Year Ban) ….. now the questions?
1, How will I know if the employee has requested one year ban on me
2, how will i know what kind of ban is imposed.
3, if at all he is intentionally requesting a ban because i didn’t complete the contract, when and whom should I approach to get rid of this.
4, Can i come and visit Dubai if its one year ban?
5, does the labour ministry imposes ban other than automatic 6 month, without employers request ?
6, how will I know what kind papers i am signing in this whole process. most of them are in Arabic.
7, Do they require at any point of time employee signatures to impose one year ban.?
Salvador,
1. If it is written by hand, someone would have written it.
2. MOL can confirm this.
3. MOL. You can’t get rid of labour ban.
4. Yes, you can come on visit if you have labour ban.
5. Yes.
6. You need to ask them to provide English version and they should.
7. No. You will have to sign the cancellation papers and it is mentioned there.
Hi,
I work as a quantity calculation technician with high school certificate and my visa is follow-up clerk. i am still in my probation period and have another offer for higher offer for more than 10, 000 will i face a ban

Dinesh,
Have you read the artile? Please do read again.
Hi Deepak, very nice article.
In my situation, my employer terminated my employment due to Downsizing – and it is clearly stated in my termination letter. I just served only 7mos in the company. Will i still get a ban eventhough I got terminated due to company downsizing? and what shall I do now that I got a new offer from a private company which is a bit lower than my previous? will the ban be lifted? what shall i do? or my new employer can do to lift the ban?
Thanks in advance for enlightening me on this issue!
Girllie,
Usually if you show the termination letter to MOL, your ban will be lifted.
Hi Deepak,
Thank you for this blog.
I had an offer in a Free Zone Company for 9K . I signed the employment contract and gave copy of my passport, educ certificates, etc. While they are processing my work permit I received an offer from a private Company which offered me 15K. I immediately requested the FZE Co. to stop my work permit application but I was told it is not possible since its already applied. Now my work permit with FZE Co has been approved and released. They still want me to join and haven’t granted my request yet to cancel my work permit. What can I do?
Thank you!
Drey,
Requesting the the FZE company to cancel your work permit is your only way!
Dear Deepak,
I have been with my current employer since August 2014, however I did not get my visa till November 2014. I have just been offered a job in the free zone hold area with a better pay and health insurance as my current employer does not have company insurance for their employees. My previous pay was 7k a month and the new company is offering 13k a month, I also hold a Bachelors degree from the UK.
What I would like to know is, will I get a 6 month ban if I decide to take the other job? They require that I start next month and that would mean giving my current employer less than a month’s notice.
Sarah,
Recently I heard that the MOL systems are integrated with free zone systems and visas may not be issued if you have a labour ban.
But, in your case, since you have salary more than 13K, I don’t think you will have a labour ban.
Dear Deepak,
I am appreciate your reply to people who are struggling due to law . Thank you.
hi i m working in a private firm with salary of 1700 dhm/ month due to some financial crisis…… i have completed 1 year n now want to switch to another job…i have done MBA .so if i switch i will get 6 month ban or not…plz suggest me
Mohammad,
Usually post graduates do not have labour ban.
But it is better to check with the MOL.
My new “supposed to be” employer is currently processing my work permit and they are expecting it to be released tomorrow. Their offer is AED 8,700 per month. Now I got an offer from another company with AED 15,000 salary per month. Will I get the labour ban. I have an associate degree in IT. Thanks!
Hen,
If your labour approval is not under process, there is no labour ban.
You will need to cancel the current work permit.

Hotels do not come under MOL, so you will need to speak to relevant authorities on ban.
Dear Mr. Deepak,

Deepak,
First of all appreciate your efforts of helping so many expats with the blog. I have a query regarding my job,hopefully you can help me out on this.
I’m a mechanical engineer working on a limited contract(2yrs ) since April 2011. I got my visa renewed for the 3rd time in April 2015 and now i have an job offer with a new company. Just want to know whether the company can put a ban on me if i resign with a 30 days notice period. The new company has offered me a salary of AED10000. I’m in a bit of bother regarding this as i badly want to get out of my present company and i dont have much of a time. Kindly help me out.
Regards,
Bharath
Bharath,
Notice period will be as per your contract. For such a long service, your company should not ban you.
You can talk directly to your company HR on your situation.
Dear Mr Depak,
I work for a hotel, they say that this is a free zone company so there is no labor card what’s so ever.
In the contract that I signed it says that if I resigned they are going to give me a ban for 1 year.
The contract that I signed is for 2 years.
As this is not a labor company, is there something I can do to leave the company without having a ban?
I came with a recruitment agency from Latvia.
Ricardo,
Not too sure about the answer and I do not want to confuse you.
Please consult directly with the relevant authorities.
Dear Deepak,
I had completed a 2 years contract in a LLC Healthcare company and then renewed my contract 3 months before in the same organization. Now i got an offer for 6000 AED. so i am planning to leave my job in this present company. kindly reply me whether labour ban is applicable for me.
2. i am bachelor degree holder, the present company is providing NOC for me.
Muthu,
I am not sure whether your company is a freezone company. If yes, there will be no labour ban applicable.
I joined a company and worked there for only 20 days all procedures done with Visa stamping everything, and left UAE for some reason never return back. Passed the resign letter within 1 month after exiting UAE. My question is how many years ban will I have for outside country cancellation and can I come in visit visa in this ban duration.
Riyad,
I am not sure.
Please check with relevant authorities.
THANKS SIR
Hi Mr Deepak

one more thing i want to tell you i did not signed any documents like labour contract & they didn’t stamped my visa on my passport .
now they are cancelling my visa.
kindly tell me will i get 6 month Ban & will i require NOC letter from the previous company in future if i want to join another company in Dubai.
same with me
Ateeq,
If they have obtained labour approval, you will face 6 month ban.
If not, there will no problem.
hai sir
i have NOC letter there is any option for remove uae ban
Safriq,
MOL may or may not accept the NOC.
In most cases they do accept. You could try.
hai sir
I am before working in alshom this company tack visa from union coop society al give to termination letter but my visa stil 23 07 2015 two maonth balance but i get ban for six month sir can tell to me how to remove the ban
Safriq,
Your company can waive the labour ban.
i have 2 years contract with my current company i only finished 5 months. and our compny is facing sum financial problems. so they are termenating sum staff. my current salery is 2000. and i got new offer letter they are giving me 2200 , now i want to change job and my current employer is giving NOC…..CAN I CHANGE JOB IF I HAVE ONLY NOC ????
Muhammad,
With NOC, you can avoid labour ban.
But, it is up to MOL to approve. Please check with them.
Hi, I’m under a limited contract and still on a probationary period, in case my employer decided to terminate my contract within the probationary period, will I get a ban? And if I decided to terminate my contract within probationary, should I pay them an amount equivalent to 45 working days?
Jeff,
That is up to MOL to decide. In most cases, upon termination, there is no labour ban.
You have to pay anything to the employer as you are breaking hte contract.
What would be the situation if I am working in semi govt (bank), and join a Govt Organization (bank)?
I am currently 2 months into existing job still on probation, and am pursuing another job in a Govt bank. What will be the procedure and will I require NOC and will a ban be applicable?
Salim,
Not sure about this.
But, I think there may not be any problem with what you will be doing.
Check directly with your HR.

That decision will depend on MOL.
Usually MOL will not issue ban if you have an NOC.
Hi Deepak,
I have completed 7 years in a UAE company and recently joined in a new oil company under limited contract. Now just 3 months and now I want to join a freezone company. Is there will be any ban for me? or is it affects if I join a freezone company.? Please advise.
Saleem,
Is the oil company Government organisation?
There may be a ban if it is.
IF you join free zone company from LLC, ban is not applicable.

For long service the companies do not impose labour ban.
But also check with MOL.

Labour ban will be automatic. You can avoid labour ban.
Dear Deepak,

My concern is that if im able to find a suitable engineering opening, will i be able switch jobs without any ban or fines?

Thanks alot!
Mohammed,
Since it is your family business, you could avoid being banned.
Dear Deepak,
one of my friend was offered for government job in Abu dhabi. they had asked him to submit his cancellation papers, education certificate and exit to arrange the visa. while he waiting for his visa in home country, the company said they are unable to issue the visa as attestation on certificate is not genuine. they have also mentioned that he will be ban from entering UAE. I have approached DNRD office and checked whether there is a ban but officer said there isnt any. I have also checked with Dubai police and they said no record.
in this situation, can my friend come back to uae with another sponsor’s visa or with visit visa.
please help.
Priyanga,
If Dubai Police and Immigration Authorities have confirmed, then I don’t see any problem.
i am working in an LLC company, as a diver, unlimited contract, more than 1 year already,,i have issues with salary,,,always delayed and they give me only 2,500AED,im planning to find another job, if I get the 5,000 salary offer to the other company, I am also an Engineering undergraduate, is my Ban be lifted? please be advised…
Elona,
For salary issues, please file a complaint with MOL.
As a graduate, you will require 12K salary to avoid ban.
Old Employer
Salary: AED 5000
Designation: Accountant General
New Employer (Offer)
Salary: AED 4300
Designation: Accountant General
Old employer is providing me with NOC & termination letter, I heard that I can revoke the ban by applying “Ban removal Application” to MOL. Is this correct? If yes than what is the procedure. how much time MOL will take to cancel the ban.
Umer,
You will need to approach MOL and get this application typed.
Hi brother,
kindly advise me i started to work in a hotel in abu dhabi one year ago its sponsored by TDIC but now they are changing the sponsor so our visa will be labor.
do you think this may cause a problem for me if i get another job in Dubai, how can i avoid the ban if i get a job with Emirates fly for exemple
thank you
Amine,
Please read: Types of Bans.
Usually government and semi government organisations, do not impose Ban.
I am working for 8 months and only now the company terminated me stating that my performance during probationary period is unsastisfactory. I want my termination to be changed but my employer dont agree to state that i was terminated due to restructuring of organization. I have a new job offer now, but having 3,600 salary. My previous company dont want to issue NOC, how can I lift my 6 month ban?
Alma,
NOC is your only way as your salary does not match the requirement to avoid ban.
Hi, I have an unlimited contract, have completed 8 months holding bachelors degree but the company asked me to give high school only.
Now if i am terminated for reasons other than breach of contract or those mentioned in article 132, do i get banned or do i have a right to raise a complaint for terminating me unlawfully.
Regards
Tariq,
Your qualifications will matter when changing job to avoid labour ban.
Article 132 in UAE Labour Law does not speak about termination!
You could file complaint with MOL if you are dismissed arbitrarily.
Hi Deepak,
I have an unlimited contract with my company and have been working for 1 year now. My Employer is ready to give me an NOC and let me off but however, I am not sure about the procedure if I will be able to get another job as my pay is AED 7000 /- but 5000 in contract and 2000 as allowance given by cheque. I just wanted to know if I have to leave, do I have to get a job with AED 12000 salary or is it not necessary in spite of having a ban.
Zachary,
I suggest you call MOL and enquire about your situation. The decision is up to the MOL.
Dear Deepak,

Thanks and regards.

Hi,
I have a limited contract with the employer for 2yrs which is a freezone visa.Can I move to a different company in freezone during the contract period without a ban.
On my understanding there is no ban for freezone visa irrespective of limited and unlimited contract.Am I correct?
Regards,
Alberrt
Albert,
Within JAFZA, you may have troubles.
Other free zones, I don’t think there is problem.

Hi Deepak,
I have joined a LLC company 9months back, Basically my qualification is Bachelor of technology with Masters in Business Administration. I am working on Sales visa, and agreed a salary of AED 3000/- with benefit of incentives. However I am not getting any incentives as my employer cheated on me.
I want to know the way out, without getting ban. My relation with the employer will go bad once i talked about my resignation. I cant expect any NOC from my employer.
Please advice.
Thank you.
Mohammed.
Deepak,
Your site has proved extremely useful in what I am facing at the moment so kudos for the help.
I’m on an unlimited contract and have worked for a little over 2 years now. Currently I am planning to submit my resignation so according to what I have read I should be able to avoid a labor ban right?
Also, I am doing this without first securing another job but I have heard from a friend that I have one month (in terms of visa validity) to search for another one from the time I actually leave the company. I would like to ascertain if this is true.
Thank you in advance, it’s tricky navigating the ways of the law!

Timothy,
Why are you resigning without securing another job. That would be risky.
If you complete your contract, there will be no labour ban.
Hi Deepak,
Very informative and helpful website. I have learned a lot from here. I need to ask a couple of questions for clarification though and I thank you in advance for answering them.
Under my contract, it says UNLIMITED from 01/02/2015 to ___________.
However, it says there that I am on probation period for 6 months.
My quesiton is, will I face a BAN if I transfer to another company after my 6months probation period?
I hold a Bachelors Degree, and I understand that I need 12,000AED to avoid being banned if I transfer to another company.
My second qusetion is, do I still need to get an NOC if I get a salary of 12,000AED?
Thank you again and more power.
Myles C.
Happy,
Yes, labour ban is applicable even if you leave during the probation.
12K salary would be enough to avoid labour ban.
Dear Deepak,
I’m working in an advertising company for 8 months. It was DMCC and they have got the LLC license in April and converted all the visas to LLC. I have been offered a new job in government organization with better pay and I have resigned from the current company and serving notice period now. My current employer is ready to provide me NOC but he asked me to pay for the Visa Fees. Is he allowed to ask for Visa Fees by Law (since its not my fault that he converted his company to LLC). Also will I get an automatic ban? I got my LLC visa stamped on 19-Apr-2015 with unlimited contract.
Muhammad,
You don’t have to pay any visa fees to the company.
Only if you are breaking a limited contract you will need to compensate.
Although NOC may not be required as you joining a government company, it is better to take it. You will not face any labour ban as you will join government organisation.
Dear Deepak,
I can join Freezone, ok. But can i join any other LLC Company not government organisation, What should be my minimum salary in order not to get banned.
Appreciate your reply.
Thank you.
Mohammed,
If you join a free zone company, you will not have labour ban as it is not applicable in free zones.

Hi, I am working in a LLC company and the company has provided me 2 years working visa. Now only two months has become and I am facing medical issues. Can I leave the company want to go back to India.
Allwyn,
If you are not able to perform your duties as required, it is better to resign and leave.
Deepak, I have decided to leave the job but just worried. If I am leaving the job and giving the medical reason to the company, will I have to pay the company any compensation before resigning.
Allwyn,
No, you are not required to pay any compensation if you are on unlimited contract.
But limited contract you have to pay.
Hi Deepak,
As I had mentioned before that I want to leave my current company and want to go back to India. I had asked you about any compensation I have to pay or not and u had replied no if it is a unlimited contract and if limited contract than yes.
I read the Limited contract law however I was not able to understand. Can u explain me what do you mean by the below sentence
“If you resign under limited contract without completing your contract term, your employer may impose a ONE YEAR ban. In addition to this the as per UAE Labour Law provisions, the employee will have to pay half of 3 months’ early termination compensation to the employer. “
I replied in another post.
Dear Deepak,
I am a post grad professional , working for a consultancy firm . I just want to ask if employer terminates the contract , then is there any ban on employee??
My employer is looking to downsize their business and may be asked all employees to leave the company.
Please reply , Thanks.

Post graduates usually do not face labor ban.
If it is arbitrary dismissal, you will receive compensation under Limited contract or unlimited contract.

my old employer is ready to give me NOC. Will the Ban get revoked.
Also plz let me know if there is any official NOC letter which is accepted by the MOL. Or we can type it by our self.
Mohammed,
With NOC, you could avoid labour ban.
Fon NOC format, please approach a typing centre.

I am a Filipina I have original diploma but my problem is my diploma without red ribbon and stamp of uae.
Please help me!
Lovely,
You need to get in touch with MOL.
I think you should have attested certificate.
Hi Deepak ,
Hope , you are doing well.
If the employee want to join other company ( competitor of current company ) located in Dubai Internet City and currently also employed in the company located in Dubai Internet City and worked for more than 3 years , is there any legal implication ? Can the current company will be able to do anything legally to stop the employee joining the competitor in same area ? Is there any legal process/ procedure there which can be used by current employer to stop his employee joining their competitor in DIC / Dubai Media City area ? What are the legal rights for employee in such condition / situation ? Is employer having rights to hold the employee even after employee serve the notice period given in the writing ? Does employee has right to leave after serving notice period which is given in writing and employer didn’t accept resignation latter ?
Do the employee legally obliged to tell the current employer about the name of the company where employee will be joining ?
Would you be able to send me all above details on my email ?
I really appreciate for your great support.
Thanks
Jp,
I do not see any problem in joining a competitor within DIC!
Yes, you could leave after notice period.
The employer will get to know the name of your new company through the visa transfer form.
good day sir/madam,how about my case the restaurant that i am working before is already close and they give me N,O,C(no objection certificate)but when the time comes i request for the lifting of my banned,it is possible the labor ministry will cancelled my 6 months banned..i am working for the period of 8 months in that restaurant.what would be the best thing to do.?thank you so much.
Reagan,
I think yes, if you have NOC, you could avoid 6 month ban.
But that decision will require MOL approval.
Hi Deepak,
there are four conditions to lift the ban..
5000
7000
&
12000 with graduation.
and NOC letter…
if next company giving 7k on salary contract and giving designation key accounts manager and total salary 12k… for switching to new job should i need NOC or not to avoid the ban…?
and all these four above given condition should be full filled to avoid the ban or only full fill one condition avoid the ban of labor?
Regards,
mohsin
Mohsin,
I do not think in such case you will require NOC.
However, if you get it well and good.
hi deepak, just want to ask if NOC alone is enough to lift the ban?
and how will you know if your visa is transferrable or not?
here’s my case. I worked for my company for two months only and my manager terminated me after two months ( that is within the probationary period ) My question is, can i demand a NOC to my previous company? and if ever the ban will be imposed, do i need to pay the fine to lift the ban? and lastly
2. How can i know if i have a transferable visa or not.
thank you i advance for your answer..
Jhun,
That decision is based on MOL.
Your PRO will know whether the visa can be transferred or not.
so if i got MOL it means that i dont have a ban?
but sir they are close the restaurant is closed,is there any chance that this reason will honored of the ministry of labor,i find already a new job but not in the free-zone company.
Reagan,
You should provide your entire case to MOL and they may consider removing the labour ban for you.
Dear Deepak,
I am working in a LLC Company in Dubai for last 10 months. My salary is aed 7,000 and I am getting a Job offer from a Free Zone Company in Hamriyah at a salary of aed 8,500. I am a B.Com Graduate.
Will I also be banned from ministry of Labour (automatic ban for 6 months)
Are their any exemptions for employees moving from LLC to Free Zone.
Could you pls advise.
Thanks!
Shivangi,
You will face labour ban.
However, this ban is not applicable in free zones.
Hi Deepak,
Thanks a lot for your response.
However, just want a little clarification… does it mean that I can join this company at Hamriyah Free Zone and I would be able to move hassle-free without any sort of Ban.
Also, pls advise if my current employer can put a ban on me if i am moving to free zone or if that ban can’t restrict me legally to move in free zone.
Plsd to have your reply.
Thanks!
