Deportation
الإبعاد
Deportation is the compulsory removal of a non-citizen from the UAE by order of the competent authority. UAE law recognises two types: judicial deportation, imposed by a criminal court as an accessory penalty to certain offences (drug crimes, serious assaults, specific financial crimes); and administrative deportation, ordered by the Ministry of Interior or Public Prosecution when a foreign resident is deemed a threat to public order, security, health, or morals, even without a criminal conviction. A deportation order typically cancels all UAE visas and imposes an entry ban that may be temporary or permanent. Limited appeal routes exist — usually before the Federal Supreme Court for judicial orders and through administrative grievance channels for Ministry orders.

الإبعاد هو الإخراج الإلزامي لغير المواطن من الإمارات بقرار من الجهة المختصة. يعرف القانون الإماراتي نوعين: الإبعاد القضائي الذي تقضي به المحكمة الجزائية كعقوبة تبعية لجرائم معينة (كجرائم المخدرات أو الاعتداءات الجسيمة أو جرائم مالية محددة)؛ والإبعاد الإداري الذي تصدره وزارة الداخلية أو النيابة العامة إذا رأت أن المقيم يشكّل خطراً على النظام العام أو الأمن أو الصحة أو الآداب، ولو دون حكم جزائي. يُلغي قرار الإبعاد جميع تأشيرات المُبعَد في الدولة ويفرض حظر دخول قد يكون مؤقتاً أو دائماً. وتتوفر طرق طعن محدودة عادةً أمام المحكمة الاتحادية العليا بالنسبة للأحكام القضائية، وعبر قنوات التظلم الإداري بالنسبة لقرارات الوزارة.
