The Passport Permission Form is a critical document in UAE business operations, particularly in situations where temporary passport retention is necessary for visa processing, document renewal, or other administrative procedures. While UAE law generally prohibits employers from retaining employees' passports (as per UAE Ministerial Decree No. 721 of 2006), there are legitimate business circumstances where temporary possession is necessary with proper employee consent. This form provides a legal framework for such situations, ensuring compliance with UAE labor laws while protecting both employer and employee rights. The document must be executed in both Arabic and English, include clear temporal limitations, and specify exact terms of passport handling and return. It should be used only when necessary for specific administrative purposes and must include explicit voluntary consent from the employee.
