Q: Hello Madam, My name is M., I was employed in Dubai at one of the construction companies from 2006 to 2008. The days of the recession were hitting Dubai and companies not increasing salaries, due to that, labours made a strike and the company complained to the local authorities. So the authorities kept us in jail for 4 days and deported us from jail to India with taking our eye scan in the jail (we received our full settlement in the jail in front of authorities). I want to know, do I have a travel ban in the UAE? Can I enter the UAE through a visit visa? Can I get a work permit in the UAE?

Q: Sir, I was in jail back in 2001 in Abu Dhabi for an accident case and was released after one month. But I have a problem with my eye scan every time I come on a new visa. Can I remove that problem?

Q: I have life ban in Dubai, it was the mistake of Immigration. They stamped on my passport but they didn't do the eye scan, I was not aware of that. When I came back to Dubai they told me that you have exited illegally and they put life ban, but I have the exit stamp in my passport. Please advise me how to remove the ban, is that possible for me to go to Abu Dhabi or other UAE emirates?

Q: I have a medical condition that restrains my fingerprints from being scanned. All my fingers cannot scan themselves apart from my left thumb. Will this restrict me from traveling to the UAE or any other country for that matter?
