I’m on overstay since a couple of months. Is it possible for me to get a visa with ongoing cases?

Dear R. P.,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the possibility of obtaining a new UAE visa while on overstay with ongoing criminal and civil cases, as well as a travel ban.

Based on current UAE regulations, it is not possible to obtain a new visa or regularize your immigration status while you have unresolved criminal cases, an active travel ban, or outstanding civil judgments against you.

Immigration authorities require all legal matters—including criminal and civil cases—to be fully resolved, and any travel bans lifted, before considering new visa applications or status changes.

Recommended Steps:

- Resolve Legal Matters: You will need to settle all outstanding criminal and civil cases, either through court resolution, settlement, or payment of any fines or judgments.

- Lift the Travel Ban: Once your cases are resolved, you must apply for the removal of the travel ban through the relevant judicial or immigration authorities.

- Apply for Visa: Only after all legal restrictions are cleared can you proceed with a new visa application or regularization of your status.

If you require legal assistance to resolve your cases, lift the travel ban, or navigate the process with the authorities, I am available to support you and ensure your rights are protected throughout.

Please let me know if you would like to discuss your situation in detail or need immediate legal assistance.

Best regards,

Hello,

If you're overstaying, have an ongoing criminal case, a travel ban, and civil case judgments issued, obtaining a new visa is highly unlikely until your legal issues are resolved.

Until this is resolved (dismissed, acquitted, or sentence served), the immigration system will block any visa issuance.

You cannot obtain a new visa while flagged for these issues. UAE authorities require that all criminal cases be cleared or resolved.

Civil judgments are paid or settled, and clearance letters are obtained.

Travel bans are officially lifted through court or police processes.

Overstay fines are paid or waived (in some humanitarian or amnesty cases).

For further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Good morning.

Since you've overstayed your visa and don't have a valid visa, obtaining a new visa may be difficult, especially if you have an outstanding criminal case, travel ban, or civil lawsuits.

Obtaining a new visa requires permission from the relevant authorities. We can review the cases and their reasons to assist you. Contact us.

Dear R.,

Thank you for your message. Based on the details you’ve provided, please note that obtaining a new visa is currently not possible due to the ongoing criminal case, active travel ban, civil judgments, and overstay violations.

Under UAE law, these matters must be resolved before any visa application can be processed.

This typically involves closing the criminal case through the court, lifting the travel ban, settling or paying civil case judgments via the Execution Court, and clearing overstay fines with the immigration authorities.

Given the complexity of your situation, we highly recommend scheduling a detailed consultation to review the case documents and advise you on the appropriate legal steps, including possible options for resolution or settlement.

Please let us know a suitable time for you, and we will be happy to assist further.

Kind regards,

Hello,

This is Lima from Fawzia Mohd Lawyers and Legal Consultancy.

Thank you for reaching out.

Regarding your situation — being on overstay with an ongoing criminal case, a travel ban, and civil cases with issued judgments — obtaining a new visa is very complex and largely depends on the type of cases, their current status, and the reasons for the travel ban.

We can assist by reviewing your case files and checking the legal options available, such as:

Lifting or freezing travel bans under certain legal grounds

Settling civil judgments through legal negotiation

Applying for bail or clearance in a criminal case

Coordinating with immigration for the regularization of your overstay

Each step will require a careful legal review. We strongly recommend scheduling a consultation so we can advise you based on full details.

For more assistance and proper legal advice, please contact me on WhatsApp.

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for your message.

While it is sometimes possible to regularize your status and obtain a new visa in the UAE despite overstay, criminal cases, travel bans, or civil judgments, each situation must be carefully reviewed.

The outcome depends on the type and stage of the criminal case, the reason for the travel ban, and whether enforcement actions have been taken on civil judgments.

To explore legal options such as visa regularization, lifting bans, or representing you before authorities, we strongly recommend booking a consultation or authorizing Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy to act on your behalf.

We are ready to assist you.

Best regards,

Thank you for your message.

In situations where an individual is overstaying in the UAE with ongoing criminal or civil cases, travel bans, or existing judgments, obtaining a visa is legally complex but not entirely impossible.

The possibility depends on the nature and status of each case — particularly whether the criminal case is still under investigation, has a judgment, or has been resolved, and whether the civil judgments are enforced or under execution.

In some cases, we may be able to apply for visa regularization or resolve the legal obstacles by negotiating with the complainants, applying for a settlement, or seeking court permissions to lift the travel ban or cancel the absconding report.

However, it requires a detailed review of your legal file and a strategic approach.

I recommend we schedule a consultation to assess your case documents, court filings, and immigration status in detail so we can determine the appropriate legal steps to resolve your overstay and regularize your visa.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone to discuss further and proceed accordingly.
