Are non-compete clauses enforceable in Dubai?
Yes, under Article 10 of Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021, non-compete clauses are enforceable for a maximum of 2 years post-employment. They must be reasonable in geographic scope and job type. Courts may reduce unreasonable clauses. If your employer breached the contract first, courts often decline to enforce non-compete clauses against the employee.
What is the difference between a Green Visa and an employment visa?
Green Visa is a 5-year self-sponsored residence visa for freelancers, skilled workers, and investors with no employer needed. Employment Visa is 2–3 years, tied to an employer who can cancel it if you leave the job (with a 60-day grace period). Green Visa gives more independence but requires proof of income or a freelance licence.
