Good afternoon Sir. I need help regarding getting...
Good afternoon Sir. I need help regarding getting work visa but my passport will expire in 2 months. I have resigned last February from my work located at Sharjah Free Zone. I was going to renew my passport, when COVID 19 happened last March. My passport is still with my ex-company. They do not want to release my passport so I can renew my passport and then give copy to my new company for visa application. What can I do?
Lawyer's Assistant: Where are you located? It matters because laws vary by location
My ex-company is in Sharjah airport freezone. And my new company is in Jebel Ali Freezone
Lawyer's Assistant: Has anything been filed or reported?
My visa is cancelled from my ex-company
Lawyer's Assistant: Anything else you want the lawyer to know before I connect you?
I have talked with the HR Manager explaining my situation. But they refuse to give me my passport to renew. My new company cannot apply for visa because my passport will expire in 2 months. I need help as I was out of work from March until now. I have not been able to send support to my family in my home country for 4 months now.

As far as passport reservation is concerned, the employer may not reserve the passport with this original, but in the event that the passport is seized with the workplace in the place required by it and if the refusal is made, then you can complain before the nearest police station and you can submit a copy of the complaint to the Ministry of Labor to explain the matter and the violation, but the law permits that the passport be seized at any government department affiliated with the Ministry of Interior with the legal justification for the reservation otherwise, it is considered a legal offense, and this is in contrast to employers in the private sector that prevent them from withholding their workers' passports
