Hello,

I have a new job offer, but there is a police case and a travel ban.

What can I do to get the visa, as my visa for my current job is about to expire, also?

Dear Client,

Thank you for reaching out regarding your situation!

Please be advised that if you currently have an active police case and a travel ban in the UAE, it may not be possible to process a new employment visa until these matters are resolved.

UAE immigration authorities require a clear legal standing for visa issuance, and any ongoing legal case or travel restriction may prevent the approval of a new visa application.

Recommended Steps:

1. Resolve the Police Case: It is essential to address and settle any outstanding police cases with the relevant authorities. This may involve attending court hearings, paying fines, or fulfilling any legal obligations.

2. Lift the Travel Ban: Once the police case is resolved, you can apply to have the travel ban lifted. Only after the ban is officially removed will you be able to proceed with visa change or renewal procedures.

3. Communicate with Your Prospective Employer: We recommend informing your new employer about your current situation, as they may be able to provide guidance or support during this process.

4. Seek Legal Assistance: Consulting with a qualified legal professional in the UAE can help you navigate the process more efficiently and ensure that all necessary steps are taken.

Until both the police case and the travel ban are cleared, you may not be able to obtain a new employment visa or renew your current visa. Prompt action to resolve these issues is advised to avoid any disruption to your employment status.

Should you require further assistance or legal guidance, please let us know.

Best regards,
