How long does the UAE extradition process typically take from arrest to final decision?

The timeline varies significantly based on case complexity and defence strategy. Following provisional arrest, the requesting state must submit formal extradition documents within the period set by the applicable treaty or UAE law. The request is then examined by the competent court, and its decision may be appealed. Cases involving human rights objections or concurrent Interpol challenges usually take longer. Strategic procedural motions can legitimately extend timelines while substantive defences are developed.
