Entry into the UAE after the ban period is over

Q: Hi Mr Hari Wadhwana. Greetings. My Name is S. I want to ask a query about my brother`s visit visa. My brother came in 2007 from India on a visit visa but he did work without employment visa. After that, he left to India as per the UAE Law which is announced by the UAE Govt. The law gives a limited time to leave the UAE for whoever worked without an employment visa. My brother also left the UAE in time without delay as per the UAE Law. In the airport, they stamped as a 1-year ban on his passport. So again I am trying to apply to a visit visa after 12 years. I want to know if he can come back on a visit or not. Please advise me

Claiming passport from the employer after labour card cancellation

Q: Dear Madam, How can I get my passport from my employer? My employer has filed a case against me for misappropriation of company money in Sharjah Police Station. When I went to my employer to claim for my passport to deposit in the police, he refused to give my passport and I deposited my wife`s passport and faced the inquiry officer and they released me. How can I get my passport from the employer and deposit the same with the police station so that my wife can get back her passport? My labour card and insurance card are already cancelled by my employer since last 2 months before filing the case against me. My legal status is still valid, as my immigration has not been cancelled yet and my family is under my sponsorship. Please advise. Regards

The procedure of settling a criminal case to return to Dubai

Q: I have a police complaint filed against me. I`m out of the country. Somebody contracted me to process Europe Citizenship for him and his family.
