Traveling to the UAE after being deported from Qatar

Hi Brett,

I am a British citizen currently living in Birmingham. I was deported from Qatar in 2016, as I was carrying Cocadamol medicines at the airport. However, the medicine was purchased from the Boots counter without a prescription but they said we need a prescription.

To cut the story short, my urine test was negative and I was released the next day. I then started working again and was flying continuously to the UAE, the UK, Saudi Arabia for work-related matters.

But one day while going on holiday to the UK, I was stopped at the airport, and without giving me a reason, they put me in the deportation center and I returned back to the UK.

Can I work and live in the UAE or Saudi Arabia? I had an unpaid loan in Qatar as they deported me so I couldn't stay up to date with my payments. Will this affect me even though the bank is in Qatar.

Hoping to hear from you soon!
