In a significant decision, the UAE government has revoked the ban on re-entry into the country of expatriates who leave their jobs or cancel their residence visas.
This was stated by Lt Col Rashid Al Khidhar, Legal Advisor of the General Directorate of Naturalisation and Residence at the UAE's Interior Ministry.
Earlier, when expatriates were banned by the Labour Ministry, they automatically got a ban stamped on their passports by immigration authorities, thus barring them from entering the UAE during the ban period, the 'Gulf News' reported on Tuesday.
The re-entry ban has been done away with, and the workers banned by the Labour ministry could re-enter the country on any kind of visa other than a work-related one, Khalid told the paper.

I have been working 7 years in a goverment oragnisation, SEWA. I finally quit. There were no remarks my my record. I didn't have a contract. I was employed locally, so there was no contract. Now, the company has imposed a ONE YEAR BAN for no reason. Can this be questionable in the court ?? Can I appeal against it ? I have no criminal record.
I want to quit from the company i m working currently, i have completed 8 months in this company, i have limited contract for 3 yrs, if i quit, can they put immigration ban on me?
I recently resigned from my employer, because i will transfer to a government company which is much better. i have completed 6 months in this company, i have a limited contract for 3 yrs., now a few days back my employer told me that they will give me an immigration ban, and they are forcing me to re-consider their offer not to resign and stay with them, or if not they will impose the ban on me... Is this legal? Can they put the immigration ban on me?

I had quit my dubai job in May 2007 and after that i gave my original passport to my sponser in India. now the sponser is not returning my passport he is saying that i will personally return you the passport. he is also saying that if you come to duabi the police will arrest you at the airport. i did not do any crime or any theft. he also accepts this but says that this is the rule now in UAE that if your visa is cancelled then you can not get another visa. Is it true? how i can get my passport back? how i can come to know if he had put any ban what he is talking about. pls help me i am disturbed for a long time.
I would like to seek for your advice, I am currently working at a 4 star hotel and I was suppose to finish my two years of service last July 2007, but in August 2007 I availed my entitlement for 60 days vacation leave, and came back last October 2007 where I was given a new position and was transferred to another department in the hotel. After a month, I received a call from one of the distinguished banks here in Dubai and they offered me a nice position in their Company. They presented me with their offer letter and asked me if I could start as soon as possible. So I filed my resignation just this month and had my exit interview with our personnel who informed me that he cannot obtain a "No Objection Certificate" for me. On top of that, the hotel is going to give me a ban. The hotel has this policy which states that if a staff resigns within the 6 months period right after going on a vacation leave, the hotel has the right to impose a ban and deny the staff of a "No objection Certificate". Furthermore he told me that since I was just recently transferred to another department, they cannot give me a release. How come others who finished two years of service in the hotel are getting released?
My point is, I already finished my two years contract with the hotel. I'm still holding a labor card and my visa will be under immigration if I finished three years by July 2008, and the distinguished bank is under immigration. I just wanted to make sure that the hotel has the right to impose a ban and deny me a No Objection Certificate? Is this under the UAE labor law? Are all of these things presented to me by the HR Manager true and correct? Do they can still give me ban at immigration if my visa is under labor? I need only to transfer my visa..Please advise.

Pls advise whether there is any provision I can lift this ban or fight against it in court.
I am working for a LLC Co. in Dubai. I want to quit from the co. as this co. is not professionally manager. The management is not good to the operation staff as they frequently using tough / (abusing) languages to staff.

I've left my job for health reasons (unable to fulfil my duties). for 2 months i tried negotiating with my employer as to what to do as i was unable to do my job, but he did nothing. i didn't know about the 30 day notice, and left with only 1 week notice. now labor office says there is a 6 months re-entry (immigration) ban on me as well as 12 months labor ban. thought this was no longer possible? my employer is totally enjoying his power over me, and is very happy to make my life as difficult as possible as this is the kind of person he is. he has a friend inside the labor office

I have been working with a hotel in Tecom area since last 10 months, most of my collegues & myself even are very well fed up with Management & Employer's discriminating attitude, so people have already started to resign before completing one year.as per the management, people who leave before 1 year, they will put a ban. is that possible in a freezone? if we get a ban, how we can lift the ban. All are scared about the ban eventhough they all get good oportunities in other companies. please give me a reply sooner.
