Q: Dear Sir, Is there any options to check my travel ban (UAE) ...because I had some bank loan. Awaiting your reply. Thanks

Q: How can I check my type of ban? I am a businessman. I used to travel to Dubai for business purposes. And I had residence visa for a long time. But in 2014, when I travelled to Dubai, I was taken to Al Aweer Central Jail from immigration of Dubai International Airport. And they took my fingerprints and eye scan. They told me to call my Arbab. But unfortunately, my Arbab was out of UAE. And then they sent me back to my country without saying anything. Now I want to know if I was banned or not. If I'm banned, how can I check for how long I was banned? And how can I remove my ban?

Q: I know that I could be having a ban for not finishing my employment contract. Can I travel anywhere else? And if the airline I am using will stop in Dubai when I travel to other countries, is it okay?

Q: I was with a company in Dubai for 22 days, due to a family emergency I left home and paid compensation as in the work contract (45 days salary was the compensation). After 6 months of exit, I started requesting the company to cancel my visa and Emirates ID, but they are ignoring it. They want me not to come to the UAE again. Can you guide me on this?

Q: Sir, How to know if I am banned from the UAE, and if I am, how many years I might be banned? My case is that I didn't finish my contract with ADNOC.

Q: Hi! I just want to ask if it is possible for me to go back and work in the UAE after my labour ban. I have resigned from my work and was cancelled and my employer gave me 6 months ban through the ministry of labour because of breaking the contract. Thank you! Hope you will help me.

Q: How can I check if my employer put a travel ban on me?

The UAE travel ban may be imposed on a person on various grounds, for instance, as the result of criminal offences, unpaid loans, breach of immigration laws or family matters. Implications of such a ban can be financially severe and daunting for the affected person. This article aims to give readers a clear understanding of what is the UAE travel ban, what are the grounds and procedures for its imposition and removal, how to check if the person is banned from travelling and other related topics.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.
