Q: What are reasons for deportation of a person from the UAE? And is it possible to make a connection flights over the country afterwards? What can be done in order to legally enter the country again?

Q: I'm from Romania but I live in Germany. In January 2022 I got a job offer in Dubai and I accepted it. My sponsor sent me an employment eVisa and he told me that the immigration officer has to put a stamp on it so that we can proceed with the residence visa. After a few days, I was sent for the medical test and I found out I'm HIV positive. My sponsor had to cancel the whole process and so I got deported. They also scanned my retina. Now on my visa cancellation after the entry, it's saying that I got a permanent ban due to the unfit medical status. I'm on medication right now and my doctor told me it may take a couple of months until I will be HIV negative. Can I return to the UAE to work again? What about as a tourist? Can I lift the ban?

Q: Dear Ahmed Elnaggar, Last year in November, I was deported from the UAE because they found HIV in my blood. So I got a permanent ban. Since then I am on HIV medications. Viral load of HIV in my blood is now undetectable which means non-transmissible. So I am wondering if I can lift my ban. Is there a way? Thank you in advance.

Q: Hello there, I would like to ask you something. One year ago, my application for residency in Dubai (for job matters) got rejected due to my health issues (because of HIV) and they banned me for life. Can I still travel as a tourist? I get my visa on arrival. I have to add that I'm on treatment and now I'm "HIV negative" because of the pills and my doctor told me that I'm not contagious anymore. Should I take a medical certificate with me?

Q: I’m seeking a lawyer for a case of wrongful deportation in contravention of the UAE Constitution “Part Three: Freedom, Rights and Public Duties” Articles 25, 26, 27 & 28. The victim was a Dubai resident with Emirates ID & 2 years to expiry. One afternoon 3 police officers not in uniform broke down the front door of their apartment without proof of ID. Once inside, the officers ransacked the apartment without explanation. The 2 residents showed legal papers including Emirates ID, work permits, and apartment rental. Nothing was found & the resident was asked to accompany the officers to a bus with other females. At CID headquarters the victim was not given any explanation, was refused a lawyer & tried to contact their embassy. Under duress, they were taken to a private room, photos & eye scans were taken then forced to sign papers in Arabic without any translation. The victim was held for 2 weeks and then deported without explanation. How can they challenge this case & return to Dubai?
