My brother had a case and cleared it but still have a trave ban. What to do to guarantee him?

Hi,

My brother had a case, and he cleared it by settling all the dues in court and got the clearance paper as well.

However, a travel ban seems to exist now because of a small amendment that has to be made on his end.

In the meantime, he has to travel back home for a week for an emergency.

What can I do to lift the travel ban temporarily if I want to be the guarantor?

How to file the application for this?

Should the debtor also authorise this application even though his dues are paid, but only an amendment to their trade license is not initiated at this point, based on the actual judgement?

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

If your brother has fully settled his court dues and holds a clearance letter, but a travel ban still appears due to a pending administrative amendment (such as the trade license update), it is possible to request a temporary lifting of the travel ban.

As a guarantor, you may submit an application to the execution court requesting temporary permission for him to travel. The application generally includes:

- A formal request letter signed by both you and your brother.

- A copy of the judgment and clearance document.

- Your passport, Emirates ID, and in some cases, a cheque or financial guarantee.

- Yes, your brother’s authorization is required, even if the financial dues are paid, because the case is still technically active until the court completes all updates.

If you'd like our assistance in preparing and filing the application, we’ll be happy to support you and help expedite the process.

Best regards,

Thank you for your response.

One thing: I made a mistake before "should the creditor also authorize the guarantee application to authorize the debtor's temporary removal of travel ban?"

Thank you for your message and clarification.

To address your question, no, the creditor’s direct authorization is not typically required to submit a guarantor application for the temporary lifting of a travel ban.

However, the execution judge will review the request and may consider the creditor's position, especially if the case is still pending due to an administrative matter, such as a trade license amendment.

The most important requirements for the application are:

- The debtor’s consent and authorization, since the request involves his personal legal status.

- A valid guarantor who provides sufficient assurances (such as a financial guarantee or cheque)

- Submission to the same execution court handling the case.

If the creditor has already received full payment and the matter is just awaiting a formal update, the court is more likely to approve the request, provided the correct process is followed.

We can assist you in preparing and filing the guarantor application to ensure all requirements are met properly.

Best regards,
