No ban on visas sponsored by spouse
Below is a case study and the law regarding labour ban on visa sponsored by spouse.

A wife joined a Dubai based company and her visa is under husband sponsorship.Due to job pressure and internal problems she doesn’t want to continue at the job for her current employer.

The current employer insists that if she resigns within probation period (six months), she will have to pay the processing fee of labour card.The question is whether they should pay the labour card fee and will there a work ban on her?

From the legal view it is advised that the wife is not liable to pay the labour card processing fee as it is the responsibility of employer to bear this fees. The company cannot ask her to make any payments towards any of the expenses that should have made by the employer to obtain her labour card/work permit.

As per the current rules no ban is imposed by the Ministry of Labour on employees whose residence visa is sponsored by their spouse/family.

    Good Day! I got a new job offer in Ajman Freezone and I was cancelled by my previous company in Dubai then I applied to cancel my daughter's visa as well. I have now my new Ajman freezone, what are the requirements do I need to sponsor visa for my daughter? Is there any salary requirement? How many days will it take to sponsor visa of my daughter? Please advise at the earliest as my daughter's visa in Dubai will expire tomorrow (Feb 20, 2014). Thank You in advance :)

    Visa requirements are same as Dubai visa and require documents like attested birth certificate, tenancy contract, emirates id, etc. Most probably it will be issued at the same time.

    Hi I am in a husband visa n I am still working.. I have already completed my one yr in the company now I got a better opportunity where they are paying me 6000aed n I will change my husband visa into my new company visa.. I called the labour department to know if I will get any kind of ban as I heard that if I have salary more than 5000aed I will have no ban.. Bt the person in the labour department told me that I will have labour ban where as I guess the sponsored visa needs to get the labour card renewed every yr bt I haven't renewed as I m planning to resign.. They were saying I should also have a bachelor degree, which I don't have.. Will I be getting ban?? If yes, can I pay the ban?? And how much will the ban amount be for labour card.. Plzzzz help me out
