I am banned in Abu Dhabi due to overstay and absconding. Can I enter Dubai after a year?

Hello,

First of all, you need to check your travel ban. Some immigration bans are temporary (e.g., one year or two years).

If your ban is temporary, you may be able to re-enter the UAE, including Dubai, after the ban period has ended.

You must remove it first.

If you have any further inquiries, please contact us on phone number [-------].

Dear Questioner,

If your name is removed from the lists of those deported from the Emirates, you can return to the Emirates again.

If anything else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or call our offices in Dubai or Sharjah at [-------].

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry!

Overstaying and absconding cases can lead to serious legal consequences, including a ban from entering the UAE.

However, the specific terms of the ban, whether it applies only to Abu Dhabi or to the entire UAE, depend on the nature of the case and the authority that imposed the ban.

Typically, a one-year ban may prevent you from entering any emirate, including Dubai. However, each case is unique, and there are instances where lifting or modifying the ban may be possible through legal proceedings or settlement with the concerned authorities.

I would recommend scheduling a consultation so we can review the details of your situation and explore your options for re-entering Dubai.

Feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone at [-------] to discuss further.

If the ban is temporary, then you can.

Dear Questioner,

You may be able to enter Dubai after a year if your ban has expired; however, checking your current immigration status with UAE authorities and obtaining a valid visa is essential before attempting re-entry.
