Travel Ban in UAE

What’s Travel Ban in the UAE

A travel ban in the UAE is a legal restriction that prevents an individual from entering or leaving the country. This ban is typically imposed by UAE authorities for specific reasons related to violations of the law, financial obligations, or other legal issues. A travel ban is often enforced at immigration checkpoints, such as airports, seaports, or land borders.

Why is it Important to Check for a Travel Ban?

Checking for a travel ban in the UAE is essential to avoid unexpected disruptions to your travel plans, whether you are leaving or entering the country. Checking for a travel ban in the UAE is important to ensure you are not unexpectedly stopped at immigration checkpoints, which can disrupt travel plans and potentially lead to legal complications.

Common Reasons for Travel Bans in the UAE

  • Unpaid Debts or Financial Obligations

    Failing to repay loans, credit card dues, or other financial liabilities.

  • Bounced Cheques

    Issuing cheques that cannot be honored due to insufficient funds, which is a legal offense in the UAE.

  • Legal Cases or Criminal Offenses

    Pending court cases, ongoing investigations, or convictions for criminal activities.

  • Immigration Violations

    Overstaying a visa, working without a proper permit, or breaching residency laws.

  • Employment Disputes

    Conflicts with employers, such as unpaid dues or legal complaints related to labor law violations.

  • National Security Concerns

    Involvement in activities deemed as threats to public safety or national security.

  • Unpaid Fines

    Accumulating traffic fines, unpaid utility bills, or government penalties.

  • Family Disputes

    Issues like child custody cases or legal disputes involving family members.

Understanding the type of travel ban is crucial for addressing the specific underlying issues and lifting the restriction effectively.

How to Check Travel Ban in UAE

It has been observed that many articles provide misleading information about checking travel bans, such as claiming that the Dubai Police app can be used for this purpose.

In fact, the Dubai Police app only provides details about financial criminal cases filed at police stations within the Dubai Emirate. Since the filing of criminal cases related to cheque bounce issues was deactivated in 2021, the app is no longer useful for checking travel bans.

Furthermore, the app does not provide information about civil cases, commercial cases, execution cases, travel ban cases, or other criminal cases like breach of trust, forgery, or cybercrimes. In reality, there is no application in the UAE that allows you to check for travel bans and the related case details.

Simply knowing about a travel ban is not enough; to resolve the issue, you must understand the details of the case that led to the ban, which is the only way to address it and remove the restriction.

How We (Tasheel) can help You?

To check criminal, civil, commercial, execution cases, or specific travel ban cases and obtain the case details that caused the travel ban, we must manually inquire with the relevant departments, such as the police, immigration, and courts across all emirates.

For checking your travel bans and related cases, we need your Power of Attorney (POA) and a copy of your Emirates ID or passport are required. This process typically takes 2-3 days to complete.

Once we receive the case details, we can guide you on the best course of action. For instance, many cases, including criminal, civil, commercial, or execution cases, can be challenged and dismissed without any payment.

For cases that cannot be contested, they may be resolved through partial payments or other appropriate solutions based on the circumstances.
