Inspection of police records before returning to the UAE
Hello,
I am British and lived in Dubai 2015-2017.
My fiancé was unable to purchase a SIM card, so I bought one on his behalf which is linked to my passport. We have since ended the relationship and things turned bad between us.
He is not a good person and has many police cases. I would like to return to Dubai but I am worried these cases could be linked to me because of his SIM card.
I did travel to and from the UK whilst he had police cases and had no problem but it has been two years and I am very worried about getting arrested for his crimes.
I am happy to pay for a check on my passport if someone could help.
Many Thanks
H.

Dear Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
I completely understand your situation and your concern is well placed.
I would advise you to thoroughly inspect the police records before your travel so that you do not get any surprises while travelling. Also, you can resolve the issue, if any.
I can certainly assist you with inspecting the police records. You can email me your passport copy, old UAE visa copy and Emirates ID copy.
I trust you will find this helpful.

Dear Madam,
Do not worry because filing a case here in the Emirates doesn't have a relation with the SIM card number.
Whatever he has cases here, the phone number used by the Police is only to trace where he is. You will be worried just in case he used the number for a crime such as cursing someone by WhatsApp or to threaten someone.
Anyway, before you come to the UAE, you can hire me or another law firm to check if you have any case filed against you.
Kind regards,
