The UAE ban: types, terms and exemptions
8
Q: I was working with a company in Dubai.
As I got termination with the company I was trying for another job. Unfortunately, I had debts for the credit card and the bank filed case against me.
My friends told me that I will get only a few months punishment if I surrender to the police. In addition, I don't want to pay back to the bank.
I surrendered there to the police and they took me to the court. The court sentenced me a month and they released after that, then the police took me to the immigration jail as they informed me that my company put my name on the absconding list.
I was there at the immigration jail till I arranged my ticket, and they deported me to my country upon arranging the ticket with a lifetime ban from entry to the UAE.
How can I lift my lifetime ban as it wasn't my mistake? Please reply.

How to lift an immigration ban after being reported as absconding by employer


3
Q: Good morning,
My travel company in Abu Dhabi reported me as absconding after I overstayed for two weeks. I was unable to pay the absconding penalty of 4,500, so I took an outpass and went home.
Now, if I have a local employer, is it possible for my immigration ban to be lifted and my entry visa to be approved if I apply for a maid visa?
Thanks!

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
