Under UAE Federal Law No. 39 of 2006 (as amended by Federal Decree-Law No. 38 of 2023), provisional arrest based on a Red Notice can last up to 60 days while the requesting state submits formal extradition documents. If documents arrive, detention may continue throughout court proceedings. If the requesting state fails to submit documents within the provisional period, release is mandatory — though UAE authorities sometimes re-arrest on domestic charges. Strategic legal action during the provisional window is critical to prevent formal extradition proceedings from commencing.
