Analysis
Employers operating in the Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media (TECOM) free trade zone have until 10 June 2014 to confirm the names and salaries of all currently sponsored foreign employees working in that area. Failure to do so may result in TECOM freezing an employer's access to immigration services.
By 10 June, all companies operating in the Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media (TECOM) free trade zone are required to confirm the names and salaries of all currently sponsored foreign employees and notify TECOM of necessary updates. Failure to do so will result in a suspension of a company's ability to receive any government services through TECOM, including the processing of employee visas, residence permits and renewals. The information request is part of a TECOM Authority effort to update its databases for all companies operating in its jurisdiction.
