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?

Q: Dear sir/madam, My brother has overstayed his visit visa for over a month. We don't have any means to pay the fine and renew his visa. We are planning to send him on outpass. We just want to know if there will be a lifetime ban on him or if he can come back again to the UAE. Thank you! Regards,

Q: Good day Sir, My wife worked as a housemaid back in 2007 and ran away from the sponsor. She stayed in the UAE for the last two years illegally and in 2010 she surrendered to police and got deported. Now I want to know if she can enter the UAE as a wife and I can legally be her sponsor.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Last year, after serving my first company for 2 years, I received my cancellation letter and gratuity. Another company offered me work and promised to arrange my visa, but they failed to do so until I overstayed. I did some work that helped me apply for fines reduction and pay off fines. I paid some money for a Freelance Visa, but until now, I have only received an offer letter and a labor card from them. What should I do? I'm afraid of being deported.

Q: Good morning Can I ask If I'm allowed to come back after I got deported due to overstaying? Thank you
