Will filing a cheating case against a friend affect my UAE resident visa processing?

Generally, filing a case against your friend for cheating should not directly affect the processing of your UAE residence visa, unless there are legal actions taken against you.

However, it's important to follow all legal procedures correctly.

Good evening,

I hope this message finds you well. Filing a criminal complaint against your friend for cheating is unlikely to directly impact your UAE residence visa application.

The UAE treats the initiation of a criminal case by an individual separately from immigration processes. However, there are considerations:

- Travel Restrictions:

Filing a case does not directly result in a travel ban; however, legal cases may at times involve restrictions to travel, especially when the case becomes bigger or when there is a filing of counterclaims.

It usually imposes on those who have been charged with criminal offenses and those under investigation, prohibiting them from entering or leaving the country.

- Legal Proceedings:

The legal case involves time and attention. Make sure this does not interfere with the employment responsibilities, as indirectly it might affect your visa process.

- Criminal Record:

Your criminal record should be good to go for residency purposes. Although filing a case does not affect your criminal record, any disputes ending in criminal record may involve your residency status.

Please feel free to reach out if you need further clarification or support.

Dear questioner,

There will be no issues if you file a case against your friend. The visa process will be affected if a counter case is filed against you by your friend and is executed.

Hello,

If there is no connection between the company issuing your visa and your friend's dispute, this does not affect your visa.

No relation. You can file a case while the visa is being processed, and it will not affect it.
