How to remove a lifetime ban after serving jail term and deportation in a drug case?

It requires a formal legal application with strong supporting documents and often legal representation, as these matters are discretionary and sensitive.

Given the complexity, if the family wishes to explore lifting or easing the ban, it’s important to take the right legal steps and prepare the application carefully to maximize the chance of approval.

I can assist you in reviewing the case details, preparing the petition, and representing the matter before the authorities to give it the best chance of success.

Please feel free to reach me directly on WhatsApp or by phone so we can discuss the specific situation and the way forward.

Dear Questioner,

Yes, it's possible to remove the travel ban, but we need more details, like whether you have the judgment copy of your case.

We will review and then can tell you if it's possible or not. You can message WhatsApp or email.

Yes, it is possible that there is a general and comprehensive ban on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Hello,

Thank you for your enquiry regarding UAE deportation and travel bans.

A lifetime travel ban after deportation for a drug case generally restricts entry to the UAE, but can sometimes affect entry to other GCC countries depending on security agreements.

Recent UAE legal changes allow for petitions to remove such bans, especially if the family remains in the Emirates.

If you’d like detailed assistance with the process or wish to explore your options for ban removal and legal appeal, I can provide a confidential assessment and initiate the necessary steps.

Please let me know if you want to book a consultation or receive more details.

Best Regards

With over 16 years of proven experience, our firm has successfully assisted thousands of clients in similar situations.

Steps Required to Begin:

To initiate the travel ban check, we require a Power of Attorney (POA) enabling us to represent you before government authorities and police stations.

To prepare and notarize the POA, kindly provide us with:

• The POA will be submitted to the Federal Notary Public.

• The notary will provide you with a secure link for a remote verification session, where your original passport will be checked, and you will sign electronically.

Professional Fees:

• Notary Fees: USD 165 (paid directly to the notary) – you will receive a digital copy of the notarized POA.

• Legal Fees for Travel Ban Check: USD 325 – Once we receive the notarized POA, we will conduct a full check through the UAE criminal record system. The process usually takes 4 working days.

Next Steps After the Check:

• If no travel ban is found, we will issue you an official confirmation.

• If a travel ban or case is identified, we will arrange a Zoom consultation with you to explain the legal procedures and immediately advise on the best course of action to resolve it.

Dear Client,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Certainly. Here's how you might present this as a professional reply to a client, aiming to lead into an actual legal consultation:

Based on the information you provided, a lifetime travel ban issued by the UAE following a drug conviction and subsequent deportation is typically enforced within the UAE only.

However, due to security cooperation among GCC countries, especially for serious offences like drug-related crimes, entry restrictions may also apply in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Oman.

While lifting a UAE lifetime ban is challenging—particularly if it was imposed through a court judgment, there are formal legal avenues that may be explored, especially if there are strong humanitarian grounds such as immediate family residing in the UAE.

This involves submitting a special request to the UAE’s Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship or the Ministry of Justice, supported by legal documentation, personal history, and justifications.

Given the complexity and seriousness of such cases, I recommend a detailed consultation to review the court documents, determine the nature of the ban (judicial or administrative), and advise on the most viable strategy moving forward.

Please let me know if you'd like to schedule a meeting to discuss your options in more detail.

Dear questioner

The deportation imposes a lifetime ban; generally, it is applicable only in the UAE, but over time, it can affect your visits to other GCC countries.

There is an option to file a mercy request; however, it is the discretion of the court to remove it or not.

If you need more details or assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Greetings.

Regarding your inquiry:

Scope of Lifetime Travel Ban:

A lifetime travel ban issued by UAE authorities applies only within the UAE. It does not automatically apply to other GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Oman. Entry to these countries will be subject to their own immigration laws and regulations.

Removing or Lifting the Travel Ban in UAE:

It is sometimes possible to request the removal or reconsideration of a travel ban, especially if the individual’s family remains in the UAE. The procedure generally involves:

- Filing a formal request with the UAE Immigration or the Ministry of Interior.

- Providing supporting documents showing compelling humanitarian, family, or rehabilitation grounds.

- Engaging a UAE-based lawyer to assist in drafting and submitting the petition, and to follow up with authorities.

Please note that the success of such a request depends on the nature of the original case, any court rulings, and the discretion of UAE authorities.

If you would like, our office can guide you step by step, prepare the necessary legal submissions, and follow up with the relevant UAE authorities.

We are honored to represent you legally. If you wish to be represented, please contact us via email or by phone.

Best regards,

Drug cases are considered a serious crime, and a life travel ban will be subject to any ongoing procedures in the courts.

As for the GCC region, it depends on whether there is cooperation regarding those matters and if the travel ban has been circulated amongst the mentioned countries.

The removal of the ban is possible, bearing in mind that the Ministry of Justice has activated the “Zero Government Bureaucracy" procedures.

You need to know the status of the criminal case, whether it has become final, and if there is any request for pardon, check with the immigration authorities and police.
