How to check a UAE travel ban
There is no single national check. Each emirate's police and judicial bodies run their own services, and labour bans are checked separately with MoHRE.
- Gulf News reports that the Dubai Police app and website offer a free check of financial criminal cases registered in Dubai, using an Emirates ID number and a one-time password.1
- Gulf News reports that the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's Estafser service shows whether the Public Prosecution has claims against a person, using the Unified ID number.1
- The UAE government portal says a one-year work permit ban can be checked by calling MoHRE on 600590000.2
- Gulf News reported in August 2024 that the Ministry of Justice made travel ban removal automatic for eligible people.3
