Dubai, UAE

Do I have a ban if I've resigned before my visa was stamped in the passport?

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.

Since you did not complete 6 months of probation, in all likelihood your employment can be terminated without warning.

Working on a visit visa: It is illegal for an individual to work without a valid employment contract/visa approved by the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation ("Ministry of Labour") or the concerned Free Zone Authority.

You must have overstayed on a visit visa. If anyone overstays a visa, whether a tourist visa or after the termination of employment on the expiry of the grace period of 30 days, they are subject to daily fines and can also be deported under the Federal Law No. (6) of 1973 on Entry and Residence of Foreigners and under Federal Law No. (13) of 1996 Concerning Aliens Entry and Residence with a permanent/lifetime or temporary ban.

Thank you, Madam, for answering my question.

Before I left Dubai I have paid everything for overstay by myself. I've cleared everything before I left. I'm just wondering if it's possible that I can work or visit Dubai after one year.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I have complained to Labour Ministry against my employer. I paid for my cancellation but they didn't give it to me, they asked to much money, even my passport they didn't want to give. So I went to Dubai Court just to have my passport and exit the UAE...

I just want to know if it's possible for me to come back in Dubai. Please answer me, Madam.

If your overstay is for more than 60 days without Court permission then in all likelihood you will have a lifetime ban.
