I am contacting you to verify whether my name appears on a travel ban list for the United Arab Emirates. To explain the situation: some time ago, I was in Dubai with my father and our family. Following a dispute regarding a vehicle bill — where the person involved acted, in our opinion, dishonestly and tried to charge us more than agreed — my father received a travel ban. I would like to know if, as a result of this matter, I might also be subject to a travel ban, even though I was not directly involved in the dispute. We do not wish to pursue legal action, as it would be too costly, but I would like to ensure that I can travel freely to Dubai. Could you please advise on the procedure or check my status? I can provide my full name, nationality, and passport number to facilitate the verification.

Let me rephrase my question. The previous landlord gave a notice of eviction in November 2024, according to all the rules. I received it by SMS and email. Now we have a different landlord, do we still have to move out of the rented accommodation in November 2025?

Our construction business is merging with another firm, and we will have five shareholders after the merger. We need a shareholders’ agreement that sets out voting rights, management roles, dividend allocation, and clear steps for adding or removing shareholders in the future. Can your law firm provide this service?

Hi Sir I am the son of an Emirati father, and my mother is from India. My parents are separated. My father and I have contact, but he is not ready to give me the Emirati citizenship. Can you please suggest to me how to get the Emirati citizenship?

My wife filed a divorce case due to harm. It was rejected as there was a reconciliation between us, and she took back the police complaint. That's why the court rejected her case. Now she filed an appeal with the same allegation without any new incident or any new evidence. There is no police report or medical report in the appeal court. She made many wrong allegations, which I defended; however, tomorrow we have the judgment. If her appeal is accepted and the previous judgment is reversed, what are my options? Can I file an appeal in the appeal court, or do I have to go to a higher court, as the first judgment was in my favor? And if her appeal got rejected, what are the options she will have?

Hello, our business has unpaid rent. 1. The 30-day notice named my business but also wrongfully named my private name, while the rental contract is solely under the business name. I'm sure it was done in bad faith by the landlord to try to damage me personally. 2. After the 1st notice, I expected an RDC notification, and nothing came. I just logged in today on my app and saw that a verdict was pronounced on the 21st of August in this case, without me even getting an email, messages, or notification at the office to even appear at the 1st instance! How can this be handled? First of all, this rental situation should not involve my private name as the company is the sole tenant on this contract, and second, no notifications were ever sent to me, although at the office every day! Here is my WhatsApp for whoever knows what to do to successfully dispute these tricks by this landlord.

Hi My husband is working in his uncle’s company in Dubai with a salary of AED 8,000 monthly. I am not earning. During the 12th board, they told us to go to India, but we said we did not want to go. Before, one time we went, so my husband’s uncle told him not to pay the rent, saying once they come to the road, they will go to India. My husband kept on saying he would pay the rent. One day we came to the road for not paying rent, and we stayed the whole night in the car, then went to a hotel. After that, the uncle’s family took us to their house to talk. The kids did not want to go to their house because, for the last four years, they have threatened to cancel our visas. So they stood on the road waiting for me and told me that if I didn’t want to go to India, then he would pay rent only for one year, and other than that, I should not ask him for anything. He told me to write and sign that everything else I have to handle. I refused, and the uncle was yelling at me. I came out and waited for my husband for a long time, but he did not come, so we went to a hotel. Now it has been 8 months, he is not giving any money for our expenses, and he took my savings of 25,000 AED by cheating.
