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?

Deportation and possibility to return back to the UAE
269
Q: Hi,
I am an Indian and living in Dubai for the last 25 years. My son had a criminal case on document forgery and he served three months jail term then got deported from the UAE.
I am not very sure if he has been blacklisted and got a lifetime ban. The judgement states "3 months jail and deportation". Recently I checked at Sharjah Immigration and found no ban on him.
However, I'm a bit scared that he will be blocked and arrested at the airport on arrival on a tourist visa.
Could you please advise how to check with the Airport Immigration and to ensure that he has no ban and can enter the country?
Kindly revert.

I have a misdemeanor case, and the lower court has already given a verdict in my favor. Now the case is in the upper court.
Is it possible to get a guarantor and leave Dubai? As of now, I only have a travel ban, and I am on a visitor visa.

Bank filed a civil case over a loan: Better to settle with the bank or in court? 1
Good day, Sir,
I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.
I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED.
What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court?
Best regards,
