Questions & Answers
Can you enter Dubai if you leave a GCC country with possible civil and criminal cases?
Hi Hayyan,
In 2014 I had been to Qatar on a "Work-Business" visa valid for 30 days. Before my visa expiration, I fled from Qatar back to India without informing the sponsor or office management.
After I returned to India, I received an email from HR stating that the Qatari sponsor has filed an absconding case, a civil case, and a criminal case against me with the Ministry of Interior in Qatar.
Now my question is, can I travel to Dubai on a work visa?
Will there be any issue entering Dubai assuming that the Qatari sponsor has filed the said cases against me?

Dear H.,
Thank you for your message.
Generally speaking, there should not be any issue regarding your intention to work in Dubai.
However, as an additional confirmation, we can cross-check your status with the UAE Immigration Department.
This process requires only a copy of your passport and will incur a fee of AED 1,000.
Please let me know your thoughts.
