I was employed by a firm in Abu Dhabi, which has now been shut down due to financial difficulties. The employer did not renew my employment visa before it was shut. I overstayed in the country and later got deported from Abu Dhabi. Now I work in Saudi Arabia and intend to transit via Abu Dhabi airport. Will I be stopped at the Abu Dhabi airport?
Pursuant to your queries, you may transit at Abu Dhabi airport as you are not entering the UAE. However you may obtain further clarification from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Abu Dhabi.
