How can you contest a wrongful deportation without any explanation in the UAE?
1
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?

How to come back to Dubai after deportation and ban for visa overstay?
5
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My wife was working in the UAE from 2016 to 2018 and completely finished her contract. She got the cancelation of the papers from the company then she moved to another company.
But the new company visa process got late from the date of the paper cancelation. So it expired and she did not exit the country at that time for more than 1 month.
She went to her home country and she faced immigration at Dubai airport. They deported her for absconding and gave her an immigration ban. I tried in 2021 to get her a visit visa but that was also rejected.
My question is how to come again to Dubai?
Any possibility to check that at immigration?

Can I put a financial guarantee to remove a travel ban in a rental case at RDC? 0
I used to work as a manager in a company, and my name was removed by the Dubai court of execution.
Now, on the paid rent, I got a travel ban, which I objected to at RDC.
The RDC accepted and gave the next hearing date, as I will have all the court papers.
Is there any way to remove the travel ban, as the objections I made at the execution hearing are next month, almost one month?
Is there any way you can put the amount as a deposit, and once the objection case is over, you can take it back?

How can you reach a settlement to avoid legal action by the bank if you lose job and can not repay your loan? 0
My brother lost his job in the UAE 8 months ago and has a debt of AED 170,000 to a bank.
He is finding it extremely difficult to make monthly loan payments to the bank, as he has been unable to find a job even after 8 months.
What options does he have to reduce/settle his bank debt without having restrictions on him, like a travel ban, etc?
Please help him find the best possible solution considering his current financial situation.

My husband and I are Canadian Muslims and he passed away in the UAE. How to open an inheritance case? 0
Hi there,
My husband and I are Muslims. My husband passed away recently.
We have a Canadian will, but I understand that it won’t be honored as I am named the sole beneficiary, and that does not align with Sharia laws in the UAE. He was not a UAE resident but had a small apartment with no Will in the UAE.
We have 3 children. I am planning to go to Dubai to start an inheritance case. I don’t know the exact order of events and what needs to be done first.
1) Do I initiate anything from overseas before making travel plans to Dubai, or do I start once I arrive in Dubai?
Mind you, we cannot afford to stay in Dubai for too long, as the kids have school.
2) Do I need a lawyer, or can this be done by myself?
3) I understand all foreign documents need to be authenticated before presenting them to the court. But I don’t know at what stage I would need these documents authenticated.
I would appreciate it if you could provide a breakdown of the steps, the forms that are needed, and where I can find them.
Thank you

Can the employer ask me for visa expenses if I resign after completing the probation period? 0
I am working in a Dubai private company and I have completed six months of the probation period. Now, I have decided to resign due to a physical problem.
My MOHRE contract mentions one month's notice, and I am willing to serve the notice period, but the employer asks for visa expenses.
My passport was also retained by the employer. How can I cancel my visa by chance?
I filed a complaint at the labour court. How many days does it take to get a verdict?
