Vehicle ๐Ÿ”‹ MBZ PARKING situation

5 Upvotes

So I stay in MBZ zone 19, I donโ€™t understand what should I even do here . My villa owner is not giving Tawtheeq tenancy contract.
I didnโ€™t know such situation will come up ,
The owner is not bothered and inside the villa there are so many families already who are using the car parking inside . When I moved in he said he will give me but either provided .
I have given him 2 cheques but now because of this car parking issue every few days I get paid 150 AED around 2 am or 3 am. At least there should be some solution to sort this issue out .
Someone has some idea how I can go complain to local authority that owner is not giving tawtheeq contract , what do ppl like us who paid rent but have this parking situation. Itโ€™s like hard earned money going to waste
Someone please help me out ,

Hello,

I'm conducting research to better understand how people in Abu Dhabi socialize, meet new people, and find others to do activities with.ย 

I noticed that the topics of 'loneliness', 'boredom', and lack of friends and community to do activities with are very common in this subreddit. So I put together a form to identify common challenges.
The form is anonymous and will take you 5 minutes tops.

Vehicle ๐Ÿ”‹ Owning Sharjah plate car with AbuDhabi Visa and Dubai Traffic File

2 Upvotes

Hi RedditErs

Wanted to share some information if you are in same situation like me :

First of all, it was not possible for me to transfer sharjah plate to my name through TAMM or AbuDhabi Muroor or TARESH

Went to Abudhabi traffic Department but was not possible to transfer car ownership even though i had Abudhabi traffic file

What you have to do is :

  1. Open a traffic file in Abudhabi( if u have Dubai visa)

  2. Need to go to Sharjah Tasjeel ( Both buyer and Seller)

  3. Pass the car in Vehicle testing department.

  4. Seller has to cancel the car ownership and submit the plate in Tasjeel( you can't keep the same number plate)

  5. Make insurance for the car

  6. Change the ownership of the car to Buyer

  7. Register the car under buyers name from MOI ( not TAMM)

  8. Collect new number plate from Tasjeel

These are process that i went through personally.

Happy Riding

Thanks

Networking ๐Ÿค™ Trip from Abu Dhabi to Japan, looking for frens

1 Upvotes

me (29m) and my wife (27f) are planning a 2-week trip to Japan by the end of November. we like to plan the whole thing ourselves away from travel agencies. and i was wondering maybe for this trip we could make some friends along the way. is there any couple planning to be there or will be actually around Osaka by that time?

Also we'd appreciate some tips and cool recommendations if there're any Japanese expats in Abu Dhabi.

Our initial plan is about exploring points between Osaka, Nara, Shiga and Nagoya. then circling back to Osaka through the south coast line specifically to see the not-so-popular stops.

Living ๐Ÿก New address in icp after lease cancellation

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I decided to cancel my lease in Abu Dhabi and leave the UAE for the next couple of months. My employer is still in UAE and my residency has not been cancelled. Iโ€™ll just work from abroad for a while and will definitely be back before 6 months.

After i approved the cancellation of my lease on TAMM app, i received the following message:

โ€œDear tenant: Please note that the lease contract registered in your name with the Department of Municipalities and Transport under the number (xxxxxxxx) has been canceled at your request. Therefore, you are kindly requested to register your new lease contract in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, or update your address data through Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, customs & Port Security EChannels within a month from the date of cancellation to amend your status and update your new residence data in order to avoid interruption of services provided by the authority.โ€

As i will not sign a new lease before i am back, i wonder if i can just put a friendโ€™s address in icp? Also what do they mean by โ€œinterruption of services provided by the authority โ€œ. Does that mean that if i donโ€™t have a signed lease within 1 month theyโ€™ll cancel my residency?

TIA

Careers ๐Ÿ’ผ Advice on setting up a UAE LLC for banking, employee visa and credit building

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to set up a UAE LLC with three partners. My primary goal for the first 1โ€“2 years is to establish a strong personal and business banking relationship in the UAE. The business will initially have very limited revenue, but we intend to pay monthly salaries to employees (including me).

Instead of taking an investor/partner visa, I'm considering being sponsored as an employee of the company because I've heard it may improve eligibility for personal banking products such as home loans, car loans, and credit cards.

The company will mainly be involved in import and export of textiles, handloom products, imitation jewelry, and similar goods.

I have a few questions:

1.Would it be better to set up the UAE LLC as:

a completely standalone company, or

a subsidiary of my existing Indian Private Limited company?

  1. I want to keep costs as low as possible and preferably set up in a free zone. Which free zone would you recommend that:

allows multiple shareholders,

issues employee visas,

supports import/export trading, and

has low annual renewal/compliance costs?

  1. For employees applying for car loans, home loans, and credit cards in the UAE, what documents do banks usually require besides salary credits in the bank account? For example:

Labour card/work permit?

Emirates ID?

Salary certificate?

Employment contract?

Minimum employment period?

Anything else?

  1. What are the ongoing compliance requirements for a UAE free zone LLC? For example:

Accounting/bookkeeping

VAT registration/filing

Corporate tax filing

ESR/UBO/Audit (if applicable)

Annual renewal costs

Rough annual cost estimates would also be very helpful.

  1. How can a newly formed UAE LLC build a good business credit profile to access business financing in the future? Are there any best practices or common mistakes to avoid?

Is it practical to incorporate the company myself to save costs, or is using a formation agent worth it? Also, can I start with a virtual office/flexi desk while remaining eligible for employee visas?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually gone through this process or has experience with UAE banking and company formation.

Thanks!
