Q: Is there a way to lift the overstay ban?
I overstayed for a couple of years and I was deported after an eye scan.
I am sure the ban is lifetime but is there any way to lift the ban?
I can pay the fine or some legal fee to get this issue processed.
Please let me know!

Can I return back to the UAE after leaving for credit card and overstay?
8
Q: Hi,
My name is A. I was working in Dubai since 2013 and I lost my job in April 2019. I cancelled my residence visa and took a visit visa for one month.
But due to some credit card case, I was not able to renew the visa and I overstayed 6 months. I had to exit the UAE on 26th November 2019 without a pass.
Can you please let me know what is the possibility to be back in the UAE and apply for a residence visa?

Returning to the UAE after leaving without paying the overstay fine

Q: Dear sir/madam,
My brother has overstayed his visit visa for over a month. We don't have any means to pay the fine and renew his visa.
We are planning to send him on outpass.
We just want to know if there will be a lifetime ban on him or if he can come back again to the UAE.
Thank you!
Regards,

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.

How can I renew my Ejari if the landlord hasn’t signed the new contract? 0
Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
