Dear Questioner,
Thank you for your inquiry.
To confirm whether you have a travel ban in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE, we can assist you with a comprehensive check for civil and criminal cases.
Required Steps:
Before we can initiate the legal process of a travel ban check, we will require a Power of Attorney (POA) to represent you before government authorities and police stations.
To facilitate the notarization of the POA, please provide the following documents:
- A copy of your old and new passports
- A copy of your visa
- A copy of your Emirates ID
Once we receive these documents by email, we will draft the POA in both English and Arabic and send it to you for review, signature, and return.
Afterward, the POA will be submitted to the federal Notary Public for notarization. The notary will provide a link for a remote meeting with you, during which your original passport will be verified, and you will sign electronically.
Costs and Process:
- Notary Fees: USD 165 (paid directly to the notary). You will receive a digital copy of the notarized POA.
- Legal Fees for Travel Ban Check: USD 325. Once the notarized POA is received, we will check the UAE criminal record system for any criminal cases, travel bans, arrest warrants, or execution files registered against your name. This process typically takes about four working days.
We are here to assist you every step of the way. Please let us know if you have any questions or require further clarification.
Sincerely,

According to UAE law, a medical ban due to latent tuberculosis (TB) is usually imposed during the residency visa medical test.
However, in rare cases, it may be possible to request the removal of the ban if full recovery is proven through certified medical reports from both outside and inside the UAE.
The chances of lifting the ban depend on each individual case and supporting evidence.
Our center specializes in such cases, and you can contact us via WhatsApp for further details and legal support.
We are honored to provide you with specialized legal support for your case.
If you have any further inquiries regarding your matter, we would be happy to assist you.
Dear Client,
Has the Medical Ban Due to Latent TB Ever Been Lifted? What Are the Chances of Removal?
1. Has the TB Medical Ban Ever Been Lifted?
Yes, there are documented cases where a medical ban due to tuberculosis (TB), including latent TB or TB scarring, has been reviewed and lifted by UAE authorities.
The process is complex and requires strict compliance with medical and legal procedures.
The ban is not always permanent, and removal is possible if you can provide conclusive evidence that you are free of active or latent TB, and that any lung scarring is no longer present or is not due to TB.
2. What Are the Chances of Removing the Ban If the Person Is 100% Healthy?
- Medical Evidence Required:
The most critical factor is providing up-to-date medical documentation, including a chest X-ray, TB blood test, and a certificate from a recognized health authority (preferably a MOH-certified doctor) confirming you are free of TB and not contagious.
- Attestation and Submission:
These documents must be attested by the relevant authorities in your home country, the UAE Embassy, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
You (or a representative with Power of Attorney) must submit these to the UAE health authorities and the office where the original unfit certificate was issued.
- Case-by-Case Review:
The UAE authorities review each application individually. If your medical reports show no active TB or scarring, and you have completed any required treatment, your chances of lifting the ban increase significantly.
- No Automatic Guarantee:
Even if you are 100% healthy, the decision rests with the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, and the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs.
There is no automatic or guaranteed approval, but successful removals have occurred for individuals who provided thorough, verified evidence of recovery.
