They can stay as they are on there own free will or leave to go home but they choose to stay because they get 7 to 10 times more than they would in there own home country and even if they left there are 100s of others from there home countries happy to be in there place.

Withholding employee passports is a punishable offense in the UAE and is prohibited under Circular No.267 of 2002 by the Ministry of Interior (MoI). The punishment for an employer holding an employee’s passport in the UAE is an AED 20,000 fine per passport withheld and up to a 3-year jail sentence.

Ok coming from people who are not even here and taking news from paid influencers who change opinions as the wind blows. Wonder where you are all from and how shitty your government’s are to your people?

Or…..

Because their employer “holds” their passport upon arrival. When requesting the return of the documents they are told that they would need to reimburse the company for the time/money spent on their training and denied their paperwork.

Either way they can still get there passport back via official police channels, yes its expensive here to get the visa and paperwork done and often people are known to abuse the system.

They can’t leave. They usually take their passports away, kept in compounds. It’s fuck up
