A labour ban is not limited to non-skilled labour. Labour ban may apply on all employees in situations where the employee violates the UAE Labour law and its related executive resolutions.

A labour ban is not limited to people having employment residence visa, but it also applies on any person who is issued a labour permit, a labour card or a labour contract if he/she commits any violations which entail the imposition of a labour ban. This means a labour ban may be issued against a working student under the visa sponsorship of his father or university or a working woman under the sponsorship of her husband.
