Passport held by Employer in UAE

[bamlyn22]

Hello guys. Just want to ask and your response will be much appreciated. I am currently working here in Dubai and my employers keeps my passport. I have received my PPR letter and it is only valid for 30 days. I do not know what should I do. If I resign now, it will be 30 days to serve the notice period in my Company. My question would be, If I request for my passport and let it be stamped first then I will resign, would that be illegal just in case my employer sees the Canada Visa Stamp?

You're asking a question about Dubai's laws - whether it's illegal to get your passport and then resign.

Unless someone here is versed in Dubai jurisprudence, we cannot answer it for you. Hopefully someone knowledgeable about Dubai's laws happens by this thread.
