After leaving UAE
The labour-claim limitation moved: it is now 2 YEARS from termination (Decree-Law 9/2024, eff. 30 Aug 2024), not 1 year from due date, and MOHRE now issues binding awards for claims ≤ AED 50,000; DEWS pots are claimable from abroad.

Personal-record access wall: None (no register), DEWS member login for DIFC-era pots
The UAE is structurally different, there is no register to search because the entitlement (End-of-Service Gratuity) is a debt the employer owes, not a fund balance held somewhere. The biggest under-calculation in this market is the basic-vs-gross contract distinction; getting that line right is what determines whether the number is correct.
No totalization (gratuity is severance, not insurance); IN↔AE corridor (Para-69 + gratuity).

Everything above is drawn from the verified UAE dossier. The UAE country page sets out what we identify, what it costs and who it is for.
DEWS pots (DIFC-era) pay internationally; gratuity from outside the UAE is harder than from inside, because the leverage that exists with an employer evaporates once the employee has gone and the 2-year limitation clock under Decree-Law 9/2024 starts running on the asset itself, not just the claim.
Unpaid gratuity becomes overdue employer debt 14 days after exit; the 2-year limitation then extinguishes the claim itself (unlike a pension, the clock destroys the asset). DEWS money may stay invested indefinitely.
No. We identify the scheme and access route. We do not advise on transfer, consolidation, drawdown, or taxation, those decisions belong with a regulated adviser in your country of residence.
