Q: I have life ban in Dubai, it was the mistake of Immigration. They stamped on my passport but they didn't do the eye scan, I was not aware of that. When I came back to Dubai they told me that you have exited illegally and they put life ban, but I have the exit stamp in my passport.
Please advise me how to remove the ban, is that possible for me to go to Abu Dhabi or other UAE emirates?

Removing overstay fines mistakenly applied on a renewed passport 
4
Q: I have had an investor visa with residence in 2014.
In 2016 I went back to the UK, changed my name and got a new passport. When I came back to the UAE, they checked the visa in my old passport and stamped the new passport.
Now, I am trying to renew but they have put fines on my new passport for 497 days since I entered with the new passport, however, my visa just expired on my old passport and no one can fix this issue.
Is there anyone can help, as all I’m doing every day is going to one office to another and realistically I had a visa so these fines are not just?
When I go to the immigration they tell me to go to the airport, and when I go there they say go somewhere else. My knowledge of Arabic language is limited, so I need legal representation as I know this is not a big issue.

How can I check the reason for immigration ban and travel home if I never had a legal case?




1
Q: Hi,
I planned to travel back to my home country and when I reached the airport, the immigration told me I had a ban.
However, I do not have any legal case or any kind of loan, and I have never been involved in such issues.
I tried 4 times and every time they said no, you can not travel, your name is banned in our immigration portal.
I visited all departments, CID, Court, and Immigration and all gave me clearance certificates however still the issue is there.
Can someone please help me?

Dear sir/madam,
My rental cheque is due tomorrow and unfortunately, I’m not able to honor it. I asked my landlord to wait a couple of days but he doesn’t want to wait and said that he is going to cash the cheque tomorrow.
Of course, the cheque will bounce, what would be the procedure then?

What happens when the property is sold mid-lease? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
Does the existing tenancy contract between the tenant and the previous owner remain in force even after the new landlord has purchased the property in the middle of an ongoing lease?
And when should a new tenancy contract be made?
Should it be made immediately after the property has been sold, or at the end of the ongoing tenancy contract signed between the previous owner of the property and the tenant?
Also, does a new contract have to be in place for the tenant to exchange the cheques, or does the existing tenancy contract with the previous owner remain valid for the purpose of exchanging the cheques?

Evicting an employee from school accommodation while a labor case is pending 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I was wrongfully terminated by my school under Article 44 on March 20th, 2023. I have a case in the labor courts, and the first hearing is on April 4th, 2023.
However, my employer is asking me to vacate the school accommodation. I asked the Ministry of Labor and the courts, and they informed me that the school cannot evict me until the case is resolved.
Is this information correct?
I am currently unemployed and have nowhere else to go until I find another job.

If I have a travel ban in KSA, can I travel to the UAE on a work visa? 0
Hi,
May you and your family be blessed.
I'm extremely tense and need your kind feedback on the following issue.
If I have a travel ban in KSA, can I travel to the UAE on a work visa?
I have been visiting Dubai on a tourist visa without any problems.
The ban was imposed because I had to leave KSA suddenly and could not return after an exit-entry, and I was unable to pay back my car EMI and credit card payment totaling 30k SAR, which I intend to pay off gradually now.
When I left KSA, they only had my fingerprints at the time. I also understand that while coming for a visit to Dubai, only a retinal scan is done.
On the other hand, when obtaining a work visa, UAE takes and registers fingerprints as well. Could this lead to any issues for me?
I have finally obtained a better-paying job after a long time and can finally save up to pay off my debts. The case registered for which the travel ban is imposed is only for SAR 16000.
As of now, I cannot afford to hire a lawyer to check in UAE.
Thank you for your help!

Tenant's rights: Can my landlord evict me, raise my rent, and ban my pet? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
My landlord wants to evict me from the property where I reside. They have not provided a court order for eviction within the past 12 months.
Additionally, they are requesting a 40% increase in rent and are insisting on a 6-month fixed-term renewal, despite the RERA index indicating no such increase.
Furthermore, they have included an unreasonable clause that prohibits pets, even though I have lived on the property with a pet for over three years.
What options do I have if I do not agree to these demands?
