Dear Sir/Mam, I can understand your situation. Any individual who is overstaying in the country without a valid residence visa shall be deported. Once an individual is deported, he/she cannot re-enter the UAE. This is in accordance with Article 28 of the Immigration Law which states: "An alien who has been deported may not return to the country except with special permission from the Ministry of Interior". Generally, once an individual is deported from the UAE, he shall not be permitted to re-enter the UAE and so your chances of traveling back to the UAE looks nominal as the experts have conducted the iris (eye scan) test on you. This means you are blacklisted from the UAE. To travel back to the UAE, you may grant a power of attorney to one of your friends or a legal counsel in the UAE to check if there is a lifetime ban on you related to entering the UAE. If there is a lifetime ban, you may permit them to act on behalf of you before the concerned authorities in the UAE and check with them the options of lifting the said lifetime ban on you. I hope you find this explanation helpful. Please feel to contact us for further assistance and clarification! Regards,
