Greetings
Someone told me that “I have no time” means I don't have time at all (permanent)
And “I don't have time” means I don't have time right now (temporary) I may get time in the future.
Is that right?
Thanks in advance😊

They are the same meaning, just different way of saying and perhaps emphasising.
I have no time = I don’t have time
I have no money = I don’t have money
I have no shoes = I don’t have any shoes

Both of them are temporary and equal in meaning (present tense).
Do you have time?
A) I have no time (present, temporary, at this moment of asking ).
B) I don't have time (present, temporary, at the time of asking).
Will you have time tomorrow?
A) No, I won't have time (future).
Generally, no one is going to ask you if you have time for ever, and every one will have some free time in the future. So, I have no time can never mean "not having time for ever or permanently".
I hope it helps

They actually mean the same thing! Both phrases mean you are temporarily out of time, but will get more time in the future!
