Hi sir
I saw you active in forum.
I have ine question if u can advise me.

I worked with a employer in bahrain. I was asking leave for 1 month because of my family issue. but my employer is not letting me go. I had passport with me . Then i ran away to my country . Then i heard from my collegue he filled police case that i steal money and ranway but i didnot steal anything.

Now i have job offer from dubai. Can i enter dubai or not. I have visa already for dubai. Is there ll be problem in immigration. Can bahrain case will effect dubai immigration

XTang

You mention that you already have a visa for Dubai?  is that a work visa?  if so, I don't think there are any problems at this point in time.  But read below.

Individual GCC country issues e.g. Bahrain wouldn't impact Dubai and vice versa UNLESS you have been convicted as a criminal or there is a criminal case against you for which they have issued orders / arrest warrants to detain you for eventual trial.   I am not sure what kind of case your employer has filed or what stage is it at; but be mindful that if it is a fraud / stealing case and they have some evidence, it will take time but eventually sometime from now -a year, two or three, it will come back to bite you once the process concludes as I described above.

Suggest to get that resolved to have peace of mind for the future.

Yes i got work visa already. Now i dont know i ll go or not. I m  so confused.

XTang

Well that is your decision.  I have given you the possibility of what can or can not happen.

Anik08

Can any company pro from dubai check or not?

XTang

What will PRO check?   There is nothing the PRO can do or check

I think you need to carefully read what I wrote.

Right now = There is no issue as work visa was issued
Tomorrow i.e. 1 year, 2 years, 3 years etc = There may be an issue as these cases take time.  And I also said it depends on how serious the case is.

Thank you so much for advice. It is so hard to take decision.

Hi
Everyone
I have a question
If a lady is working in Bahrain has a housemaid and her husband is also here but the wife had a passport so she run away back to her country will her husband get into any problems what she did

XTang

If she wasn't on her husband's sponsorship, then there is no issue from a legal standpoint for a runaway case.  They are different individuals in the eyes of the law.

But if she is accused of stealing or some other crime, the police will speak to the husband.  And that again isn't an issue unless he is somehow complicit in that.

Max536

U mean to say if he helps her to in taking her to airport. And the boss of her wife doesn’t know her husband is here

XTang

Runaway case is a labor issue not a criminal issue.  It won't impact.

If she is accused of stealing or a crime then it is another matter.

If run away case how it took long to remove the case can we come back if it possible again to come back where you have a case of run away...

Difficult to say. Depends on each case.... Months to years.
