How the Mercy Petition Process Works
A Mercy Petition is filed with the UAE's Directorate of Naturalization, Residency and Foreign Affairs (DNRD) to request that a travel ban be lifted or suspended. Because every case differs by ban type, jurisdiction, and history, we start with a free pre-qualification review instead of an upfront charge.
Tell us your issue type, nationality, passport details, jurisdiction, and a brief of the case — no payment required.
A Wirestork case officer reviews your submission and confirms eligibility within 1 business day.
If you haven't had an immigration check in the last 6 months, we'll ask you to order one first so we have a verified record to file from.
Once approved and documents are submitted, we file your Mercy Petition with DNRD and track it through to resolution.

Why We Pre-Qualify Before Charging Anything
A UAE travel ban can stem from a civil case, a criminal matter, a bounced cheque, or an employment dispute — each requiring a different legal strategy and a different likelihood of success with DNRD. Rather than charging a flat fee before reviewing your case, Wirestork starts every Mercy Petition with a free pre-qualification form, reviewed by a case officer before any payment is discussed.
This protects you from paying for a petition that isn't likely to succeed, and ensures our legal team has a complete, accurate picture of your case before filing.
⚠ A Recent Immigration Check Is Mandatory
We cannot file a Mercy Petition without a verified, current record of your travel ban — including its exact type and issuing authority. If you haven't had a check within the past 6 months, the pre-qualification form will flag this and direct you to order a Wirestork Travel Ban Check first. You can still submit your pre-qualification in the meantime — our case officer will follow up on next steps.

Who This Helps
If a ban is blocking your return, a Mercy Petition may allow re-entry once the underlying issue is resolved or a humanitarian exception applies.
Bans tied to old employment or sponsorship disputes can often be appealed once the matter is settled or clarified.
Civil case or bounced-cheque bans may be liftable through negotiated settlement combined with a formal petition.
