How to issue a POA when the principal is in India and does not have UAE residency?

My friend needs a POA. The issuer of the POA is in India and is an Indian National and does not have a UAE residency.

The receiver of the POA is in the UAE and is Indian National with a UAE residence visa. The POA is needed for the sale/rent/eviction of a specific property.

Is the POA by a non-resident accepted in the UAE courts, or only the old method of Indian POA with MOFA and translation to be done?

Dear Questioner,

As such, you need to draft a special POA from the owner of the property issued and notarized in the country he is residing in now, then the POA will be attested by the UAE embassy in the same country.

Then send the POA original to the UAE and one more attestation is to be done in the MOFA after the legal translation into Arabic is done.

For more information, please contact me at my email.

Hello,

As per your query, nowadays POAs are made online.

Also, since the person who is residing abroad has property here, he/she should be holding property documents in their name and visa too.

Please try to do it online, and if it does not succeed, then you can do it the conventional way.

Please call or e-mail us.

No as per the clearly mentioned statement, the person does not have UAE visa anymore. He is not a UAE resident.

So as recommended by other 3 lawyers, He has to do POA in India and have it attested by the UAE embassy in India and have MOFA and legal translation done on original in UAE.

I think this is the right answer.
