Deported from the UAE due to expired visa: Can I return after 6 months?

7
Q: Hello sir/madam,
My question is, can I return to the UAE after being deported?
The reason for my deportation was that my visit visa had expired, and I was caught by CID and subsequently deported after being in jail.
I am currently in India, and I am unsure if I can go back to the UAE. Some people have said that I can return after six months, but I am not certain.
Could you please help me with this issue?

Deportation and possibility to return back to the UAE
269
Q: Hi,
I am an Indian and living in Dubai for the last 25 years. My son had a criminal case on document forgery and he served three months jail term then got deported from the UAE.
I am not very sure if he has been blacklisted and got a lifetime ban. The judgement states "3 months jail and deportation". Recently I checked at Sharjah Immigration and found no ban on him.
However, I'm a bit scared that he will be blocked and arrested at the airport on arrival on a tourist visa.
Could you please advise how to check with the Airport Immigration and to ensure that he has no ban and can enter the country?
Kindly revert.

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?

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

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?
