How long does Dubai Court take to seize the amount and lift my travel ban?

Hello,

Obtaining a court order for seizing funds can be relatively quick (a few days), but executing that order through banks may take anywhere from 1 week up to 3 weeks in total when considering all steps involved (court processing plus bank execution).

Therefore, the entire process could realistically take between 1 to 4 weeks, depending on various factors including court schedules and bank responsiveness.

Once you have resolved the issue that led to the travel ban (e.g., settled a debt), the court will issue an order to lift the ban.

You have to submit a separate request in order to lift the travel ban if you haven't arranged a settlement yet. The seizing of the amount from another bank will not directly remove the travel restrictions.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Hello,

Once a court orders the seizure of funds from a bank account to satisfy a debt, the process is generally swift.

Dubai Courts have established an operations room that electronically connects to relevant departments, enabling the execution of such orders within an hour.

Regarding the lifting of a travel ban after the settlement of dues, the UAE has implemented an automated system that tracks judicial enforcement decisions.

Once the required payment is made, the system electronically updates the relevant authorities, ensuring the travel ban is lifted without the need for additional paperwork.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry!

The time it takes for Dubai Courts to seize an amount from a bank account and release a travel ban can vary depending on several factors, including the type of case, the bank's response time, and the court’s internal processing. However, as a general estimate:

- Once a seizure order (attachment) is issued by the court and sent to the bank, the bank usually responds within 7–14 working days.

- After the funds are confirmed and seized, the court can proceed to release the travel ban, typically within 5–10 working days from confirmation.

Please note that delays can occur if additional documentation is needed, if there is any dispute over ownership of funds, or if coordination between the court and the bank is delayed.

If you would like, we can assist in expediting the process by following up directly with the court and bank on your behalf.
