Frequently Asked Questions
NOC for Removing
Six month ban
Q: I didn't complete two years with my last employer and I got
six month ban at the time of cancellation. My previous employer is
ready to issue No Objection Certificate to remove my ban and I got a
job offer with another company. Can I approach Ministry of Labour to
remove my six months ban?
A: Yes. You have to follow these steps: Get NOC in Arabic on
previous company's letter head, get seal and signature by the
authorized signatory whose signature is shown in
Labour
Establishment Card, attach copy of Labour Establishment
Card and License. Get offer letter in Arabic on new company's letter
head, Seal and Signature by authorized signatory, attach copy of
Labour Establishment Card and License. Prepare a request letter Arabic
to remove the ban and sign by you. Take all these documents to
Tas'heel
Centre and they will make a covering letter (MB#) with
envelope. Pack all these documents and submit at Ministry of Labour,
Qusais. You can track the status through
www.mol.gov.ae. If it is approved, you can apply for new
visa.
Q: I entered on new
Employment Visa
one month ago. I did not do my
medical,
Emirates ID and
visa stamping. I want to
cancel
my visa. Will I get six months ban in this situation?
A: Yes, you will get six months ban once you entered on
employment visa and cancelled before completion of two years. This is
applicable for
probation period also. But you
can get another employment visa during the ban period, if you meet the
above mentioned salary criteria.
Q: My Labour Card expired this week but Visa will expire by end
of next month. Will I get six months ban if I cancel now?
A: No. You need to complete only Labour Card period. Visa may be
expiring after one month. That will not cause to put ban.
Q: I work as a mechanical engineer in Abu
Dhabi. I have completed nine months in service. I am planning to
change my job. I received a better job offer from a Jebel Ali Free
Zone Company. I have not completed two years in service. Will a
six-month labour ban be enforced even if the new job is in a free zone
company? Is there a way to lift the ban?
A: Since you have not completed two years with your current
employer, a ban for the period of six months will be automatically
imposed on you by the Ministry of Labour.
Furthermore, avoiding a ban does not depend upon the designation of
employment; rather it depends upon the qualification and the new
salary offered.
If your qualification and new salary offered falls under any of the
below categories as mentioned in the Cabinet Resolution No 25 of 2010
regarding internal work permit at the Ministry of Labour, then, you
may join your new job without any ban. The cabinet Resolutions states:
In order to remove the ban, an employee must prove qualifications by
presenting a duly attested educational certificate as mentioned
herein:
i) If an employee holds a university degree (master), and earns a
minimum of Dh12,000 per month;
ii) If an employee holds a Diploma (post secondary) and earns a
minimum of Dh7,000 per month; and
(iii) If an employee has passed high school and earns a minimum of
Dh5,000 per month. (KT)
Q: If I didn't complete complete contract period will I get
ban?
A: If you didn't complete two years with current employer you
will get six month ban. To know how to get
Employment Visa during ban period, please read from top of
this page.
Q: Can I apply visa in Free Zone during ban period?
A: If your ban was put for six months by Ministry of Labour,
you can apply for Employment Visa in Free Zone.
Q: Do I need exit to change my visa to another company?
A: You can change visa inside country without exit if your
previous employer can give your passport for
Status
Change. If they insist you to exit you must go out.
