Fake attestation stamp and a possible case check
I went to MOFA back in 2017 to have my documents attested. I am confident because I did really graduate from the university but what I didn't really do myself is the attestation of my documents.
Since I was already in the UAE, I asked someone to have my documents get attested. To my surprise, the officer told me that I will have to go to jail because the UAE stamp was fake.
God is good it was late in the afternoon and it was Ramadan, so they let me go and ask that I go to Abu Dhabi after the Ramadan holiday. I immediately flew out of the UAE before any possible case is filed.
Now, my question is will I still be able to go back to the UAE as a tourist? I just want to travel and not to work again. Is it possible that MOFA has filed a case against me even if I wasn't there and I was only holding a tourist visa during that time?
How can I find out? How can I have the case lifted if there is? Can I have it lifted by submitting the authentic documents and while I am outside of the UAE?
I believe that when the officer saw the attested stamp he understood immediately that the stamp was fake.
The question is did anybody take a photocopy of the degree and your passport? If not, then you don't have to worry.
However, in the event your passport copy was recorded then surely there could be an issue. You could appoint a law firm to run a background check on your passport.
