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?

16
Q: I resigned during the probation period. My employment visa was not stamped on my passport, I did no medical and didn't receive Emirates ID.
Then, when I tried to get UAE tourist visa, the agency told me that I'm blacklisted and my visa rejected. My contract before was an unlimited contract.

Entry into the UAE after the ban period is over

Q: Hi Mr Hari Wadhwana.
Greetings.
My Name is S. I want to ask a query about my brother's visit visa.
My brother came in 2007 from India on a visit visa but he did work without employment visa. After that, he left to India as per the UAE Law which is announced by the UAE Govt.
The law gives a limited time to leave the UAE for whoever worked without an employment visa. My brother also left the UAE in time without delay as per the UAE Law.
In the airport, they stamped as a 1-year ban on his passport. So again I am trying to apply to a visit visa after 12 years.
I want to know if he can come back on a visit or not.
Please advise me

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to make the seller hand over the tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale? 0
Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale?
Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.
He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
