Questions & Answers
My friend is willing to act as a guarantor to lift my travel ban. Is he eligible?
Good morning, everyone!
I have a cheque execution case with a travel ban (although the ban doesn't show in the DC case data). I'm a salaried employee with a monthly income of 10,000.
My best friend, who runs a business in Dubai, is willing to act as a guarantor for my travel. Is he eligible for this role, or should I find someone who is also salaried, like me?
I don't have any blood relatives here. How long does the approval process usually take?
Dear questioner,
There are specific criteria to be fulfilled for guaranteeing a person who has a travel ban, and it depends and varies according to the nature of the case.
If possible, try to make a person who has a monthly salary or owes assets in the UAE.
Dear Questioner,
Since it's a court process, everything will be decided by the judge; if he approves, this can be finished in 1 week.
Or else if he asks you to submit the passport of any other, it will take time.
Normally, certain requests will be granted at the first instance if the reason for your travel is considered by the judge.
If you need further clarification regarding this request, kindly contact us.
Dear Questioner,
According to UAE law, a travel ban can be lifted if the person provides a guarantee from a UAE national or resident who is willing to take responsibility for the person's return to the country.
This guarantee can be provided by a friend, as long as they meet the requirements of being a UAE national or resident.
The approval process for lifting a travel ban can vary, but it typically takes around 2-3 weeks.
The process involves submitting a request to the court, providing the necessary documents and information, and waiting for the court's decision.
It is important to note that the court has the final decision on whether to lift the travel ban or not, and they may require additional documents or information before making a decision.
