Someone I know was deported from the UAE without any clear reason. The suspected reason might be related to their sect (being Shia). They are currently being detained until their flight on Tuesday.

What’s really unfortunate is that they weren’t allowed to take any of their belongings—only the clothes they were wearing, along with their phone, wallet, and passport.

Does this situation usually result in a permanent ban from re-entering the UAE, or is there a chance they could return in the future? Also, if they plan to work in another country like Oman, how long would they typically need to wait before applying for a visa?
