Questions & Answers
Returning to the UAE while there is a case pending with public prosecution
Dear sir/madam,
I checked the system for criminal cases and there are the following details:
- Case status: Dispositioned.
- Level: First instance.
- Panel: 2nd panel.
- Session status: Completed.
- Judgment date: 25/06/2019.
- Judgment type: Fine.
- Fine fees: 35k AED.
- Charge: Issued cheque in bad faith.
Could one please explain how this works? If I return to the UAE, will I be arrested at the airport?
Will I be released If I pay the fine?
Dear questioner,
Check with relevant UAE government authorities to find out whether or not you have a travel ban or arrest warrant imposed on you.
No need to visit government authorities personally, your attorney will do all the needed on your behalf.
Save your time and money by avoiding the potential risk of being arrested or rejected to enter or leave the UAE while traveling.
Just submit the required documents online, and within a few days, you will get the results of the check from the lawyer by email.
Documents required to make the travel ban check include clear colored copies of:
- Your valid passport,
- Your residency permit (most recent residence visa page),
- Your expired passport (if your residence visa is stamped there),
- The most recent exit stamp (if any),
- Your Emirates ID (if any).
This service is right for you if you are going to travel to, from, or through the UAE and would like to be sure that you are not blacklisted.
What's included:
- Complete Check
The lawyer will run the check with relevant government authorities on a possible travel ban and arrest warrant imposed on you in the UAE.
- Email Report
You will receive the results of the check from your attorney by email. The results will indicate whether you have a ban/warrant or not.
- General advice
If it is found out that your name is on the blacklist, the lawyer can give you general advice on the next steps needed to handle the situation.
- Privacy
The personal information you share and everything you discuss with your lawyer is protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Dear questioner,
Yes, you will be arrested as you have a fine against you.
However, we may help in removing the fine for you to visit the UAE without complications.
For more information, please contact us via phone.
Dear questioner,
No, you will definitely be arrested for months.
Better hire a lawyer to remove it completely from the system.
If you are interested, we definitely can do that for you where we used to manage such cases on weekly basis.
Dear questioner,
To answer your question, unfortunately, you will be arrested at the airport if you will travel to the UAE without solving this issue.

Please reach me via phone for more information.
Dear Questioner,
Good day!
With reference to your Q#61282, please be informed that the case status can be attributed to the final decision of the court in the case.
From the description, it is presumed that the decision dated 25-06-2019 is to pay a fine of AED 35K. With this status description, it is ambiguous whether any travel ban/arrest warrant has been requested post-judgment.
However, in order to avoid any probable arrest, we advise you that the actual case status check shall be conducted by authorizing a lawyer by executing a Power of Attorney.
If you require any assistance in this regard, feel free to contact the undersigned by phone or email:
