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.

Does filing an online rental dispute by a landlord lead to a travel ban on the tenant? 0
Hello,
Does the initiation of an online rental dispute case by a landlord in Dubai automatically lead to the imposition of a travel ban on the tenant?
This is not related to bounced cheques; the dispute concerns wear and tear versus damage claims by the landlord.

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.
