Q: Hi, I need to apply for mercy petition at Dubai Ruler's Court for deportation removal. Case: forgery. Let me know the cost and process time, and is it possible to remove deportation or not? All files regarding my case attached. Thank you

Q: Good morning. My wife is Philippino national and I am a UK national working in Dubai. In March 2016, my wife was arrested and charged with the Abuse of Psychotropic Substances. She was sentenced to 1 year in jail. After 6 months she was deported back to the Philippines (September 2016) and is now on the immigration blacklist, I have had this confirmed. At that time she was single, we met later. I understand it is legally possible to get her name removed from the immigration blacklist, but my question is have the UAE courts ever lifted an immigration ban for someone jailed for a drug offense? I understand the law is rarely ‘black and white’ but would appreciate a legal view. Obviously, I would like my wife to join me here in Dubai and I’m just trying to understand if this is actually feasible or we should just accept that we will have to live apart while I work in the UAE.

Q: Sir, My sister was caught in a bar drinking alcohol in 2019 and she was deported. Now I want her to come back to the UAE. Will she be allowed to come back or no? I will be glad if I get feedback from you.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My brother was deported yesterday for a minor forgery case. Is there a way I can bring him back to work again? Are pleas of mercy effective for people who have been deported for forging documents? Kindly advise!

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My appeal for removing deportation and mercy petition has been accepted by the public prosecution, but the final decision by the committee is pending. What are the chances of final approval for me? Case: breach of trust (first-time offense).

There are always conditions where people may fail to provide sufficient documents of a certain business or project they are willing to engage in, so they tend to commit an act of forgery with their documents to meet the requirements. But this act is a crime and it has consequences in law which we will try to cover in this article.

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.

This Law promulgates the Federal Penal Code (Criminal Law) of the United Arab Emirates. Crimes and chastisement punishments shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Law and other penal codes.
