How long does it take to remove a Red Notice via the CCF?

The CCF must decide on a deletion request within nine months from the date the request is declared admissible, and this period can be extended in particular cases; in practice, the whole process from filing usually takes longer. However, in urgent cases — where an applicant faces imminent arrest in the UAE or elsewhere — we can ask the CCF to consider interim measures while the full review proceeds; whether such measures are granted is at the CCF’s discretion. We always recommend starting the CCF process as early as possible, well before any planned travel or residency application in the UAE.
