Frequently Asked Questions
Can I leave country without cancelling my visa?
Q:
I am a shareholder in a company and am on an
investor residence visa issued by Dubai’s General
Directorate of Residency and Foreigners’ Affairs (GDRFA). I recently
sold my 40 per cent share of the company to one of the shareholders
and wrote him a waiver. I also received the value of the sold shares.
At present, I have no stake in the company and my residence visa will
expire next month. I intend to go back to my home country and will not
return to the UAE. However, I need to leave urgently and will not have
time to complete the cancellation procedure with the GDRFA. Can I
leave Dubai without formally cancelling the visa with the authority?
A:
The questioner may not leave the UAE without formally
cancelling the visa. The questioner
should first make a sale contract between him and the new purchaser,
get the document attested by the
Notary
Public in the presence of all partners so they can sign the
said contract (amendment to the memorandum of association), and then
this contract shall be submitted, along with an application to cancel
the visa, to GDRFA. The residence visa will then be cancelled. The
procedure will not take too long, and it is in the best interest of
the questioner to avoid any future liability in case the company faces
any problems (GN).
Dismissing a company partner
Q:
I am working in a
LLC (limited liability company) in
Dubai as a working partner. I have an investor visa. Can other
partners remove me from the partnership. I am only holding 10 per cent
of the shares so it’s easy for them to remove and fire me from the
company. As per the UAE law under what conditions a partner can be
removed from a LLC.
A:
In a LLC, no partner has the right to remove any other partner — it
doesn’t matter whether a partner is holding a small or big share,
since his name is included in the company’s memorandum of association,
which is certified by law.
But, if the other partners wanted to remove you from the company for
legal reasons, they must go back to the conditions mentioned in the
memorandum of association in respect with the matter, and then call a
meeting of the board of company to resolve the issue amicably,
especially if they wanted to remove a partner who committed a
financial violations or subjected the company to loss due to his
misconduct. If this has been proved, the said partner will be
requested to sell all his shares in company to the residual partners,
and to withdraw from the company, or to purchase himself, the
partners’ shares and remain in the company with other partners
selected later. In case of failure to reach a solution to satisfy the
assembled parties otherwise the case may referred to a concerned
court, by asking the court to appoint an accounting expert to study
the company’s conditions and proving the one who caused the company’s
problems, as well as to review the financial status. Based on such
report the concerned court will provide a proper judgment in this
regard. These are the reasons and legal procedures used to solve such
problem
(GN).
