Q: Dear Sir,
My name is Syed Majid, I want your help to know about one problem.
My sponsor put an absconding case on me, then I made a request to withdraw the case from MOHRE, but the Labour Department made a ban on me for 1 year.
Can I remove the 1-year ban, and can I come on visit visa?
Please give me your advice, Sir.
Thank you

Entry into the UAE after the ban period is over
9
Q: Hi Mr Hari Wadhwana.
Greetings.
My Name is S. I want to ask a query about my brother's visit visa.
My brother came in 2007 from India on a visit visa but he did work without employment visa. After that, he left to India as per the UAE Law which is announced by the UAE Govt.
The law gives a limited time to leave the UAE for whoever worked without an employment visa. My brother also left the UAE in time without delay as per the UAE Law.
In the airport, they stamped as a 1-year ban on his passport. So again I am trying to apply to a visit visa after 12 years.
I want to know if he can come back on a visit or not.
Please advise me

Lifting a ban imposed for placing a wrongful absconding case

7
Q: Sir,
I have a ban imposed for absconding but I did not abscond.
I was terminated and I have the related documents to prove it but my passport was in Dubai Courts for bailing my brother and I have the letter from the court to prove that too.
Is there any possibility that I can appeal to lifting my ban and get back to the UAE?
I have lived all my life there, finished my school and college then worked for 11 years for the said company that had imposed this ban on me.
Kindly advise me on this and please note that my visa is from Sharjah.
Thank you

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
