A judicial deportation order can be extremely complex to overturn, especially when the person is already outside the UAE.
While a mercy petition (clemency request) can be submitted to the UAE Union Supreme Court, it is generally considered in rare and exceptional circumstances.
Additionally, you may explore a plea for reconsideration through the Public Prosecution or a petition to the Ruler’s Court in the respective emirate.
The success of such requests depends on various factors, including the grounds for deportation, the case history, and whether any legal violations were involved.
I can assess the situation in detail and guide you on the best course of action.
Please reach out to me on WhatsApp or phone to discuss further.
Hello,
You can submit a mercy petition or a request to the Federal Supreme Court to appeal a decision related to deportation.
However, keep in mind that judicial deportation decisions are typically final, and the Supreme Court generally does not review cases based on mercy unless there are exceptional legal grounds or humanitarian reasons.
The Federal Supreme Court can potentially reconsider judgments in specific cases, but it will focus on the legal grounds for the deportation rather than the individual's personal circumstances.
Dear Z.,
A mercy petition for judicial deportation can be submitted to the UAE Union Supreme Court, but approval is rare unless there are strong humanitarian or legal justifications. Other possible options include:
1. Submitting a pardon request to the Ruler’s Office in the emirate where the judgment was issued.
2. Filing a petition with the Public Prosecution to reconsider the deportation order.
3. Applying for a presidential pardon, especially during National Day amnesty programs.
Judicial deportation is final unless overturned by the highest authorities. The chances of success depend on strong legal arguments and supporting evidence.
We can assist in evaluating the best course of action for your case.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the options for appealing a judicial deportation order for an individual currently outside the United Arab Emirates. I appreciate the opportunity to guide this complex matter.
Given the nature of judicial deportations, the avenues for appeal are limited but not entirely closed. Here are the potential courses of action:
1. Mercy Petition to the Ruler or President
A petition can be submitted to the Ruler of the relevant Emirate or the President of the UAE. This approach is typically reserved for exceptional circumstances and does not guarantee a favorable outcome.
2. Request for Review by Public Prosecution
The deported individual may submit a formal request to the Public Prosecution office that issued the deportation order. This request should:
- Clearly state the grounds for reconsideration
- Include all relevant supporting documentation
- Be submitted to the Public Prosecution in the emirate where the case was originally heard
3. Application to the Ministry of Interior
While this option is more commonly associated with administrative deportations, in certain cases, an application can be made to the Ministry of Interior seeking permission for re-entry. This would involve:
- Submitting a detailed written request through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs
- Providing a comprehensive account of the circumstances leading to deportation and subsequent events
- Presenting a compelling case for re-entry
4. Special Re-entry Permit Application
In limited situations, an application for a special re-entry permit can be made through the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship. This process requires strong justification and is subject to stringent review.
Please note that the success of any appeal against a judicial deportation order is at the discretion of the UAE authorities and cannot be guaranteed.
Each case is evaluated on its merits, taking into account the nature of the offense, the time elapsed since deportation, and other relevant factors.
Given the complexities involved in such cases, I strongly recommend engaging the services of a legal professional specializing in UAE immigration law.
An experienced attorney can provide tailored advice, ensure all procedures are correctly followed, and maximize the chances of a favorable outcome.
If you require any further clarification or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Yours sincerely,
Abdul Wahied

Greetings of the day,
Yes, a mercy petition can be submitted to the Union Supreme Court, and it is often considered in cases where there are exceptional circumstances that may warrant the removal of a judicial deportation order.
Additionally, you can file a plea request with the relevant immigration authorities or the Ministry of Interior in the country that issued the deportation order.
In some cases, a legal appeal or request for reconsideration may also be possible through the embassy or consulate if the individual is currently outside the country.
Our legal services are available to assist you in filing the appropriate petitions and navigating the legal process to address the deportation issue effectively.
Best Regards,
