sell/rent a house in Dubai?

Sell a car?

Transfer a Maid´s visa (he is the current sponsor)?

Claim back deposits from Dewa/Du, etc?

My friend is in a peculiar situation. His visa expires beginning of Feb. He is taking another job overseas by the beginning of March.

He needs to solve all the above issues during February. But his employer is reluctant to renew his visa, as they will have to pay the one year amount, just for one month. They have suggested him to do a visa run.

If he does a visa run and gets a tourist visa for February, will he be able to solve all the issues?

THANKS !

Family of a friend moved to Oman recently and had a real problem sorting all of what you mentioned because her visa had already been cancelled. I would suggest he packs up and moves into furnished hotel apartment or with friends, sell his car as soon as he can and maybe get a hire car for the remainder of his stay in Dubai so he can get his deposits back, sell his car etc.

If his employer is cancelling his visa in Feb he will have 1 month from the date of the cancellation to exit the country. He can do all the below during that time. He does not have to exit the country until the 1 month is up. hth
