I got a lifetime ban because I could not pay my employment expenses. How to remove the ban?
Q: Hi I was working in a taxi company. Unfortunately, I was not able to pay their expenses which they spent on my visa fee and license. There was no other due payment on me, only the expenses that the company spent on the license and some other fees. They were holding my passport and I needed to come back home urgently. I told them that I couldn`t pay 9 thousand dirhams at once, so they put a lifetime ban on me. Can this type of ban be removed or not? If there is any chance to lift it, I will try and bear all the expenses. Also, I want to know if this ban is for all the emirates or only for the emirate of Dubai.
