If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed?
Hello,
If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there.
Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
Yes, the travel ban is usually lifted automatically after an acquittal judgment is issued by the Appeal Court.
However, in some cases, the system may not update immediately, and the travel ban or wanted status could still appear until it is manually cleared by the authorities.
We can assist by running a system check to confirm its removal and provide you with an official clearance certificate, to ensure there are no issues with your travel or future plans.

Hello,
If you have been acquitted by the appeal court in the UAE, then legally, the travel ban and “wanted” status linked to the criminal case should be removed, as the final judgment clears you of all charges.
However, in practice, this removal is not always automatic. After the appeal court issues its judgment, the system may take time to update across police, immigration, and judicial departments.
Therefore, it is important to follow up. You or your lawyer should obtain the official acquittal judgment and visit the police station or Criminal Investigation Department (CID) that issued the original complaint, to ensure your name is removed from the wanted list.
Good evening,
Following your query, please note that while the appeal court’s acquittal effectively clears you of all criminal charges, the travel ban and any "wanted" status linked to the earlier proceedings are not automatically removed.
These are considered precautionary measures and require a separate legal application to lift. We recommend promptly filing a formal request with the competent court or Public Prosecution to ensure your travel ban is revoked and your status updated in official records.
I would be happy to assist you with this process and ensure all necessary steps are taken to fully restore your legal standing.
Best regards,
Dear Inquirer,
If the Appeal Court has issued a final acquittal from all charges, the travel ban and wanted status do not get removed automatically.
A separate procedure is usually required to lift these restrictions, such as submitting a request to the competent authorities or executing the judgment through the police or public prosecution.
To ensure your name is cleared from all systems and to proceed without delay, we recommend you book a consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy or grant us power of attorney to act on your behalf.
