Hey everyone,

I stayed in Dubai for more than 17 years without any violations or issues. During COVID, I ended up overstaying, but I eventually exited the country on my own using an outpass (exit permit), without deportation.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows if:

A lifetime ban can be removed or reduced in such cases?

There are any appeal options or humanitarian considerations?

Applying for a visit visa is possible, or will it automatically get rejected?

Any advice or real experiences would really help.
