Q: I have a husband visa in the UAE. Now, I am in India. I did a big mistake; I stole my friend's gold earrings 2 months before. Two weeks before, she called and said that she has raised a police complaint in Sharjah. Scared, I confessed to her that I only took it and exchanged it. But she was not ready to forgive. She said the case is still there, and my husband is telling they have banned me from the UAE. Already, some problem between me and my husband. I don't know whether the ban is true or not. My original passport is in my in-laws' custody, but I have the passport number and Emirates ID. I want to check whether I am banned in the UAE and if they will arrest me.

Q: Sir, I would like to know if there is any issue for travelling, how can I check the travel ban?

س: متى يسقط الحق في الشكوى بعد السرقة؟ مع العلم أنه يوجد اعتراف خطي بالسرقة. هل يسقط حقًا بعد 3 أشهر؟ أريد أن أفهم هذه الجملة. إذا كان زوجًا للجاني أو أحد أقرانه أو فروعه لأنني لا أعرف السارق شخصيًا. هل هذا الشرط لا ينطبق ويمكنني تقديم شكوى في أي وقت؟ أرجو الرد!

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.

The provisions of this Federal Decree-Law No. (31) of 2021 Promulgating the Crimes and Penalties Law, known as the "New UAE Penal Code", governs criminal actions in the United Arab Emirates. The New Penal Code repeals the previous UAE Penal Code (Federal Law No. (3) of 1987 Promulgating the Penal Code).
