Is it possible to change jobs and process visa while facing a police case and a travel ban?
Hello,
My husband has a police case now and a travel ban, and is still waiting for trial with the prosecutor.
Is it possible for him to transfer to a new employer within the country?
Will he be able to process his visa?
Dear Inquirer,
If your husband has a pending police case and a travel ban, his ability to transfer to a new employer and process a visa will depend on the nature of the charges and whether the ban is linked to immigration or labor matters.
In most cases, visa processing and employment transfers are suspended until the legal issue is resolved.
To assess his specific situation and explore legal options, we recommend booking a consultation or authorizing our office to act on his behalf. Our team is ready to assist.
Dear Inquirer,
If the case is still with the prosecutor and there is only a travel ban with no other penalties issued yet, there is no legal obstacle for your husband to transfer to a new employer within the country. The travel ban does not necessarily prevent him from working within the country.
However, it's important to consider that any developments in the case could affect his situation in the future. Therefore, it’s advisable to stay updated with the prosecutor to ensure the legal procedures do not impact his ability to work or process his visa.
Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further inquiries. I am here to assist you.

Dear Questioner,
Thank you for your message!
Kindly note that if your husband currently has an ongoing police case and a travel ban in place, it is generally not possible to transfer to a new employer or process a new visa until the legal case is resolved and the travel ban is officially lifted.
We strongly recommend waiting for the outcome of the investigation and court procedures. Once the case is concluded and the travel ban is removed, he may proceed with the employment and visa transfer process.
Should you require legal support to follow up with the authorities or understand the legal steps ahead, we would be glad to assist you.
Best regards,

It is critical that your husband consults with both an attorney specializing in criminal defense and one knowledgeable about immigration issues to navigate this challenging situation effectively.
It is generally difficult for someone under such circumstances to transfer employers or process their visa without significant legal hurdles and professional guidance.
In the UAE, if your husband has a police case and a travel ban while awaiting trial, he generally cannot transfer to a new employer or process a new visa until the legal case is resolved and the ban is lifted.
The travel ban restricts movement and can also prevent visa processing, especially if his passport is held by authorities.
Once the case is concluded, often through court resolution or settlement, and the ban is officially lifted, he may be able to proceed with employment changes.
Thank You!
