Show cascade impact
Three weeks. Two missed deadlines. One very expensive quarter.
- WEEK 1
Establishment Card lapses
Reminder email goes to a shared inbox nobody checks. Card expires Friday afternoon. Nobody notices until Monday.
- WEEK 2
Visa renewal blocked
New employee visa application blocked by MOHRE because the Establishment Card is invalid. Onboarding stalls.
- WEEK 3
Trade license renewal blocked
DED rejects renewal because Establishment Card must be valid first. Bank flags account for restriction.
- WEEK 4
AED 20K bill arrives
AED 10K MOHRE fine + AED 5K cumulative DED late fees + AED 5K visa rush processing. All from one missed alert.
