Sponsorship and work-permit transfer dispute in the UAE

How we help with sponsorship and work-permit transfer dispute

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers current and proposed contracts, permit details, transfer application, refusal notice and relevant employment-status records. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Does cancelling a MOHRE work permit automatically authorise work for a new employer?

  No. MOHRE’s transfer-permit service requires a new application by the establishment’s authorised signatory and checks the worker, occupation and establishment. Its published conditions require application within ninety days of cancellation of the previous permit. This is a work-permit requirement, not a universal immigration grace period or permission to work before approval. Identify the current employment status, proposed employer, application stage and written reason for refusal. Distinguish employer disagreement from an authority's restriction or a missing record. Do not assume an accepted job offer completes the transfer or work authorisation.
