Q: Dear Sir, Good day to you. I have a lifetime ban from the Sharjah court given in 2014. I was arrested in a theft case in Sharjah which I did not commit but was scared of the police, so I signed where they asked me to and it was a confession paper in Arabic. We tried appealing in Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Office (Diwan) but it has been rejected. My father, mother, little brother and my wife are all living in the UAE. I too was living in the UAE since 1992. Is there any way I can come again to the UAE?

Q: I have a lifetime ban in the UAE. Can you just lift my ban? I was having a case in Ras Al Khaimah and the case number is [-------]

Q: My father was a taxi driver in the UAE and he worked here for 7 years. One day, a passenger sat in the car and put alcohol bottles in the back of the car. My father wasn't aware of that. He got a call from its resources that CID is following the car. He ran away and CID caught my father. They put a lifetime ban on him and was deported to country. My question is how can we lift this type of ban?

Q: My mother was deported and got eye-scanned in 2010. I tried to apply for her a visit visa in 2014 but it was rejected. She does not have any court case. I am not sure if she was permanently banned or not. Is there a way to lift the ban or blacklisting? Thanks for your advice.

Q: I have incorporated 2 companies back in Ras Al Khaimah in early 2018. One of the companies was more active till now and all the renewal fees are paid on time, while the other company was never used since we decided that the first one is actually enough to operate our business. Today, I applied for a tourist visa to Dubai and got a rejection with the message "lifetime ban". I have no idea what the reason can be; no clue, no case ID. Is there any way I can check it and proceed accordingly? Thanks!

Q: If an employer gets a permanent ban in the UAE, then how can it be lifted?

Q: Dear sir/madam, I am from Pakistan. My question is: In 2013, the UAE imposed a permanent ban on me for health reasons because there were scars on my chest. I did my medical examination again in my home country and there was no issue now. I want to lift my permanent ban. What is the process?

Q: Hello Good day. I’m from Nigeria. I used to live and work with a company in the UAE but it happens that CID came to our building to pack people that are selling alcohol, and also innocent persons, and gave us one-month jail and deportation. Please, in this case, can I still return to the UAE or not? This happened about one year and five months ago. I have been in Nigeria since then. Can I still go back to the UAE or not?

Q: Hi, My husband who was a travel agent was sentenced to 5 months in jail and deported last year in Sharjah due to selling fake Corona tests for traveling outside the UAE.

Q: Hi I was working in a taxi company. Unfortunately, I was not able to pay their expenses which they spent on my visa fee and license. There was no other due payment on me, only the expenses that the company spent on the license and some other fees. They were holding my passport and I needed to come back home urgently. I told them that I couldn't pay 9 thousand dirhams at once, so they put a lifetime ban on me. Can this type of ban be removed or not? If there is any chance to lift it, I will try and bear all the expenses. Also, I want to know if this ban is for all the emirates or only for the emirate of Dubai.
