Can I get a police clearance with a prior finished and sentenced criminal case?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Can I obtain a police clearance after serving a sentence and appealing to court in the UAE? I had a misdemeanor in 2018, a 3rd-degree case.

After that, I secured a job and obtained a visa, but due to the police clearance rule, I failed to obtain it.

However, my case was settled five years ago in the appeal court, and I served one month in Al Wathba prison.

Obtaining a police clearance certificate in the UAE with a prior criminal record can be challenging. Even if your case was settled and you served a sentence, authorities may still consider this when processing your application.

The eligibility criteria and waiting periods vary by emirate, and it's important to contact the local police department or consult with us for the most current and specific guidance regarding your situation.

Dear Questioner,

Yes, because of the reason that your case was settled in the appeal court five years ago, you can obtain a police clearance certificate on the same case.
