Q: Would it be possible to come back to the UAE if someone was repatriated through deportation due to overstaying and non-compliance with the residency rules? The person has been jailed several times due to bank default way back in 2008-2009, wherein many banks filed cases despite the person tried to settle their financial obligations.

Q: Hi Sir. Hope you are doing well. I came to Dubai on a visit visa in 2014. I got a job and the owner of the company asked me for money to issue the employment visa. I paid him the amount, but the employer didn't apply for my visa and went to his country. I filed a case against him in the court, but he didn't come to the court after he returned to Dubai. The main problem was that I had given him my original passport, and that's why I didn't exit the country. After 10 months, I went to Al Aweer jail and I took exit without paying overstay fine. I had given fingerprint and eye scan also. Now, I want to come back on partner visa and I want to know if I can come on that visa or not. If you help me on this matter, I will be very thankful to you.

Q: My friend is in Uzbekistan now. She was deported in 2009 for overstaying on a visit visa. Then she came to Dubai illegally and was deported in 2010 by Dubai Prosecution (Niyaba). Now she wants to come legally to Dubai on a work visa. What is the procedure? Now it's been 9 years since she got deported. If the visa got approved, can she come to Dubai or not? If no, what should she do to enter Dubai legally?

Q: Good evening, sir! I am Filipino. I got deported last Friday (Oct/18) due to my nine-day overstay and got deported to the Philippines. After my cancellation from my previous company (Sept/5), I found a recruitment agency that wanted to hire me as a shadow teacher for special needs and promised to process my visa so they took my passport. But they just kept my passport and didn't process my visa until I became overstay. Last Sunday (Oct/13), I was caught by the CID on the bus and they directly put me in jail. The next morning, they brought me to Um Al Queen Emigration and took the eye scan. I was trying to explain my side but they didn't listen. I didn't get any justice. I'm just a victim of the company which didn't keep its words. I still believe that there is someone who can help me to fix my problem and come back again to the UAE.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My wife was working in the UAE from 2016 to 2018 and completely finished her contract. She got the cancelation of the papers from the company then she moved to another company. But the new company visa process got late from the date of the paper cancelation. So it expired and she did not exit the country at that time for more than 1 month. She went to her home country and she faced immigration at Dubai airport. They deported her for absconding and gave her an immigration ban. I tried in 2021 to get her a visit visa but that was also rejected. My question is how to come again to Dubai? Any possibility to check that at immigration?

Q: I overstayed my visa and I was deported back to my country. Is it possible for me to return to the UAE? And how long does it take for a ban to be lifted?
