Dear Sir / Madam,

You have already crossed the retirement age of 60. Quit the job for good and take all your final settlement benefits including your Gratuity from your present employer. You can work as a consultant after a gap of few months with a new sponsor in Dubai.

The contents of your mail do not state clearly as to the manner they would transfer your Visa to the Sharjah Company and whether that Company is a Branch of your present Company. You would be well within your rights to claim your 21 years Gratuity. If they do not pay you the same, you can approach the Labour Department.

For further clarification, if any, you may mail to [email protected].
