Questions & Answers
Can I return back to the UAE if I left without proper visa cancellation?
I was a school teacher in Dubai from 2020 to 2021. I chose not to return after the summer for the remaining year of my contract.
I do not owe any money to the bank, but I did not pay a couple of utility bills and my former employer (the school) claimed I owed them money for breach of contract. I also did not cancel my residence visa.
I would like to return to Dubai on a tourist visa.
How could I find out if I would be stopped at immigration?
Dear Questioner,
If you leave the UAE without proper cancellation of visa, your employer may report you as an absconding person, which leads to a ban in the UAE.
We provide a pre-paid service to check for a travel ban which you may purchase if you would like to make sure that you can travel safely.
Don't hesitate to contact us for further assistance.
