To check your UAE employment ban status: 1) The most reliable method is through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) website (mohre.gov.ae) or app - select "Inquiries" then "Labor Ban Inquiry," enter your personal details including passport number and unified number; 2) Visit any MOHRE service center with your Emirates ID and passport; 3) Call MOHRE at 800-60 to inquire about your status; 4) Check through the GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) website or app; 5) Visit a typing center who can check on your behalf (for a fee). Common reasons for bans include contract violations, security concerns, or changing jobs during probation. Most labor bans last 6 months or 1 year. Under the new UAE Labor Law, many previous automatic bans have been eliminated, particularly for skilled professionals.
