Getting a police clearance while there was not a visa issued

Hi,

I am looking to get a police check from Dubai. This is down to an assumed traffic issue with another driver. I do not have a UAE visa as I was there on a vacation, it was just my passport that I entered with.

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

To get this police clearance, there is a charge.

Yeah, that’s fine.

I am aware of the charge; I’m just checking that you are able to do this as another lawyer said it is not possible without a UAE visa.

I understood you were here on a visit visa, in this case, you can get it.

If you didn't come before, it is not possible.

My passport didn’t require a visa; we just use the passport for entry.

Does this register a visit visa when I enter as I didn’t apply for anything in advance of arrival to the UAE?

Yes, it registered if you enter.

The question is: did you enter UAE or not?

7 Aug 2022, 08:42

If yes, it means it is possible.

Yes, sorry I was on vacation in the UAE for 10 days and entered via DXB.

OK!

So when I pay, what documents will you need and what do I get back to confirm the search?

The passport copy only.

I will check again whether you can get police certificate or not.
