Consequences of a deportation order in the UAE
90
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?

Lifting a lifetime ban based on a court order

38
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?

When does the final committee decide on judicial deportation?



4
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My brother has applied for a mercy petition to lift the judicial deportation. He completed a 1-month jail sentence for forgery.
The petition has been approved at the initial stage by the Dubai public prosecution office, but we are told that the final committee meets only twice a year to make the final decision.
My question is, does any reliable source know when these meetings typically occur in a year?
Thanks!

View allI secured a mortgage from the bank and the broker kept delaying until the MOU expired. What to do? 0
Hi,
I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected.
My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC.
However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA).
However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired.
Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory.
I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened.
Please advise

What can I do with the contractor I paid to build my house and disappeared before completion? 0
Hey,
I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well.
I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him.
All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file.
However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque.
What should I do now to get my money back?
I need advice.
