Returning to the UAE to run business after being convicted with a crime
Hi,
I want some information regarding my uncle. He was arrested in November 2015 and was in prison until 13 June 2016 when he was deported to Pakistan.
The reason for the arrest was that my uncle had his own business in Sharjah and he was involved in a case where his employee accused him of attacking him and other allegations. He was arrested and convicted.
He needs to reenter the country as he has his business in Sharjah but I believe he is blacklisted/banned. How can I find out if he is blacklisted/banned and how can it be removed to allow my uncle to reenter the country and take over his business?
Is there any way of helping to resolve this issue?
I know that if he enters on a visa, he could be arrested at the airport, and don’t want that to happen.
Thank you!

Dear questioner,
Thank you for your inquiry and we are very sorry to hear about your uncle.
We can assist you and your uncle with regard to the legal concern.
What needs to be done is that we need to run a background check on your uncle in order to verify if there are any present or pending cases or travel or immigration bans.
For this, we would need a power of attorney from your uncle.
Once we get a detailed report of the same, we can advise you on how to remove the ban.
We suggest you contact us via email or you can alternatively call us to fix an appointment with us to discuss your matter in depth and advise you on the best course of action possible.
Thank you!

Dear Sonam,
Good day!
Please provide a copy of the passport of your Uncle and we'll prepare a Power of Attorney Form appointing us as your lawyers and we can arrange in Botim (like an online Zoom) to do the attestation with the Notary Public.
Once it is attested, we will submit it to the court to see how many cases he has and what are the details of the case. We will advise on the course of action after checking the cases.
For further assistance, please feel free to contact us at our phone or send an email to us.
Thank you.
