Hello,
If a person has a criminal case in the UAE, can he or she travel to any other GCC country on a work visa?
Dear Inquirer,
If a person has an ongoing criminal case in the UAE, it could potentially affect their ability to travel to other GCC countries, particularly if there is a travel ban or any legal restrictions in place.
Each country in the GCC has its own laws and processes regarding the entry of individuals with legal issues. A work visa may be granted, but it depends on the severity of the case and the specific country’s regulations.
