Skiing has certainly become more affordable – to some it now conjures images of packed minibuses, budget cartons of wine and students in their droves. For a more refined ski experience without a box of wine in sight, these posh ski resorts are a far cry from the student ski trip-style winter getaway.

It’s not just a hotspot for star-spotting: the skiing is excellent, the mountain town is beyond charming and Little Nell’s wine cellar will please any wine buff as it boasts 50,000 bottles of the rarest wines in the world.

St Moritz, Switzerland

Possibly the most luxurious ski resort on the planet, countless European royals and Hollywood A-Listers are among the regulars on the pistes and in the boutiques of St Mortiz each year. Think horse-drawn carriages, high-end boutiques including Bulgari and Chanel and 10,000 private jet landings in the local airport each year… you’ll get an idea of who a trip to St Moritz might have you rubbing shoulders with.

Although many come to St Moritz merely to be seen, the skiing itself is fabulous too. It’s hosted two Winter Olympics and puts on a World Cup ski event annually too.

Whistler, Canada

For a fairytale-esque luxurious ski experience, look no further than this Canadian resort. Tucked away between two enormous tree-covered mountains interlinked by the world’s highest and longest gondola, Whistler boasts natural beauty and extreme luxury perfectly.

Lech-Zürs, Austria

With 100 five-star and four-star hotels to choose from, the Lech-Zürs ski region is one of the world’s most exclusive resorts. These charmingly picturesque villages boast opulent chalets and luxurious hotels in addition to their manicured pistes.

Understated luxury is how the Austrians do lavish, and its delightfully rustic streets don’t feel flashy or flaunting at all. Effortless perfection and five-star charm make it easy to see why it was the late Princess Diana’s favourite place to ski, and why the Beckhams make it their ski resort of choice!

Eagle Point Resort, Utah, USA

What could be more decadent than having your own private ski resort? With 600 acres, 5 lifts and 40 pistes, the fluffy snow-covered mountain could be yours for up to 200 friends to ski the day away and dance well into the night until it’s time to get into the outdoor hot tubs. If you tire of the après, Vegas is a mere 20 minutes away by helicopter…

Don’t Leave This till Après

Whether you’re whizzing down slopes or chatting up celebrities, you don’t want to have to worry about insurance once you’re on your opulent ski trip. Make sure you have special winter sports travel insurance that covers your snowy antics on and off the pistes so you can enjoy yourself with total peace of mind.

“The freedom of movement and residence will be granted within limits of laws” quotes from Article 29 of the UAE constitution offers freedom and simultaneously curtail it on the basis of law.

The notion travel ban or deportation is used common parlance in UAE and can be imposed on various grounds such as, as a consequence of a criminal act, violating immigration laws, unpaid debts, under a civil claim. The concerned article, by Criminal Lawyers in Dubai, intends to guide the readers in comprehending the laws pertaining to a travel ban in UAE, the procedure for removing a travel ban in UAE and other similar points.

In legal terms travel ban is a restriction on ongoing freedom of movement or prohibiting a particular individual from entering, re-entering or exiting the country. The travel ban so issued by the government of UAE restrict the individual to cross the border through any means of transport. As mentioned above, travel ban can be caused through a variety of claims and complaints and some of these claims arose due to legal implications or due to immigration. A travel ban is distinctly different from a labour ban or an arrest warrant, and the difference is highlighted as below:

Travel Ban and Labor Ban: a labour ban does not restrict the individual to enter or exit the country. However, it restricts to receive a work permit from MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization) for a limited period pursuant to Federal Law Number 8 of 1980 concerning the Labor Law of UAE and its amendments. In such circumstances, the employee can either visit the country on a different visa and can apply for a job where a work permit from MOHRE is not required such as in free zone companies or public sector. On the other hand, a travel ban is a ban on immigration to enter UAE for all or any reason.
Travel Ban and Arrest Warrant: An arrest warrant is issued for detention of a person by a competent authority who committed a criminal offence under Article 45-46 of the Federal Law Number 3 of 1987 concerning the Penal Code or who fails to oblige with the final judgment of execution court under Federal Law Number 11 of 1992 regarding the Civil Procedure Code.
An arrest warrant under criminal law is issued if the public prosecutor has sufficient evidence of his guilt, whereas, under the Civil Law, the arrest warrant can be issued by a judge of Execution court, should the debtor fails to submit the claim which is more than AED 10,000. Ergo, the objective of an arrest warrant is entirely different from that of the travel ban, as, in an arrest warrant, the accused is kept in custody until the happening of a specific event, whereas, the travel ban does not let the person enter or exit the country permanently until specifically removed.

In the case of a travel ban, the accused will not be allowed to cross the border or enter UAE, however, it does not mean that he will be detained at the airport unless specifically mentioned by the court or competent authority. All the arrest warrants entail travel ban, but all the travel ban does not require an arrest warrant.

UAE Laws on Travel Ban

The legislature of UAE does not involve a particular law designated to issues pertaining to a travel ban and the procedure for its removal.

However, its existence is evident from various federal laws of UAE. Accordingly, Federal Law Number 6 of 1972 regarding the Immigration law and an amendment through Ministerial Decree Number 83 of 2002 which provides a non-exhaustive list of categories under which an expatriate cannot enter or exit the country.

The preceding list is defined under Article 94 of the Decree as follows:

Individuals restricted from entering the country:

The individual against whom a criminal complaint has been filed;
A person who has been deported by the competent authority;
An individual who has been expelled or has a travel ban from GCC countries;
Anyone who is involved in the activity reported by Interpol;
Someone who suffers from a disease which is hazardous for public health.
Individuals who are restricted to leave the country:

Anyone who holds a travel ban imposed by any public prosecutor due to an ongoing investigation;
Someone who is banned by the criminal or civil court;
Ban issued by the Minister for those who default in the payment of debts of UAE government.
Reasons and Removal of Travel Ban

Although UAE does not have a specific legislature for a travel ban, foreign expatriates can still face travel bans on several grounds which is broadly classified under following groups along with a procedure to remove the ban, subject to the discretion of UAE government:

Violation of laws of Immigration
Under the laws of Immigration, an expat a face travel ban on several grounds such as:

If a person is employed without a valid work permit;
Illegally entering into the country;
Overstay on the visa;
Resigning the job without updating the employer or leaving the country without cancelling work permit.
Procedure for removal

The bans are issued automatically by a competent authority and can be extended for a lifetime. This ban can be imposed if requested by one party like the employer, and the competent authority declares the employee as absconding and imposes a permanent travel ban. The accused can submit an application before the immigration authority for removal of the travel ban. However, it is advised to seek legal representation from Criminal Lawyers in Dubai for removal of such ban.

Outstanding debt In case of unpaid debt, the creditor is empowered under Article 329 and 330 of the UAE Civil Procedure Code, through which he can submit a request before the competent court to prohibit the debtor from travelling when there is a strong apprehension that the debtor will abscond from the country without paying the debt which will frustrate the whole proceedings. Therefore, the request for the ban is to recover the outstanding payments.

However, the ban ceases to exist if the debt is repaid. Procedure for Removal The ban is imposed upon the request of the creditor. However, there are certain conditions and perquisites which the creditor must consider prior to submitting a written request for travel ban as outlined in Article 329 of the Civil Code as follows:
