Can someone renew their visa while on bail for a DUI case?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Your brother's visa renewal is possible but complicated due to the ongoing drug-driving investigation. He should gather the required documents, undergo a medical test, and submit a renewal application.

However, he may need permission from authorities and additional documentation from his sponsor. Given his claim of innocence and the prolonged case, he should consult a UAE legal expert to navigate both the visa renewal and the investigation.

He should gather evidence supporting his innocence and follow all legal procedures. He mustn't leave the country while on bail.

Professional legal assistance is highly recommended to handle both the visa renewal process and the ongoing case effectively and legally.

Thank you!

Dear Questioner,

Since your brother is under investigation for driving under the influence of drugs and is out on government bail, his visa renewal may be restricted. The ability to renew depends on the following factors:

1. If the authorities have placed a travel ban or an immigration hold due to the case, visa renewal may not be possible until the case is resolved.

2. If he is under a company-sponsored visa, the employer must process the renewal unless legal restrictions prevent it.

We can assist in verifying his immigration status and facilitating the necessary legal steps.

Please provide us with the case details so we can assess his options and assist him accordingly. Contact us at [------------].

Dear questioner,

If the case is not registered or is under investigation, then approvals may not be required; otherwise, approvals from authorities will be needed for visa renewal.

Under UAE law, if a person is under investigation or on bail, they may face difficulties renewing their visa. They can consult with their lawyer to submit a request to the relevant authorities regarding visa renewal under these circumstances.

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding your brother’s case. I understand how concerning this situation must be for both you and your family.

In regard to your brother’s visa renewal, typically, a person on government bail or involved in an ongoing investigation may face restrictions when it comes to renewing their visa. However, this will depend on the specifics of the case and the stance taken by the authorities.

I would advise you to apply for the visa renewal as soon as possible and check with the relevant immigration authorities or the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) to ensure there are no restrictions on his visa renewal due to the ongoing investigation.

Regarding the case itself, if your brother is confident that he was not driving under the influence, it is important that he communicates this clearly with his lawyer handling the investigation.

A thorough legal defense can be presented, including gathering evidence or testimony that supports his claim. It's also possible to request that the authorities expedite the case if it's taking longer than expected, but it will depend on the specifics of the investigation.
