Travel with peace of mind

3 SIMPLE STEPS

It’s important to understand that laws in countries like the UAE can be unclear and apply internationally, beyond their borders.

This puts people at risk, even for actions that might seem harmless.

STEP 1

Submit information

We’ll need to obtain some key information about you and your travel situation. After form submission, we will send through an invoice that must be paid prior to Step 2.

STEP 2

Clearance Processing

Our team specialises in uncovering any existing legal cases against you. We utilise access to databases to ensure we can give you a complete picture in confidence.

STEP 3

Receive Your Report

Once processed, your report will outline any charges or cases filed against you, possible resolutions, and your potential risk of facing an Interpol Red Notice.

You could be one flight away from life in UAE prison

WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT

People are subjected to criminal cases in Dubai for often surprising reasons.

It could be a financial or business or employment dispute, a fine, a landlord or rental car claim or something more serious.

The motivation for opening a case can be inspired by personal grievances, spite, revenge or to financially extort someone.

The crime does not even need to be committed in the UAE. It could even be over a social media post or fundraiser operated from abroad.

Ready to see your risk assessment?

If you're going to check, check properly.

Many people are under the impression that they can look up their police or Interpol status through their online public databases, but that just isn’t true.

A majority of criminal cases will never appear publicly.

Your case could be invisible until you travel.

How sure are you really about not having an active police case?

The Reality Is

Foreigners are arrested in the UAE way more often than you'd think.

Most people don’t consider their risk status when booking flights, but our quiz showed 27% of travelers were at high risk of arrest and 53% faced a medium risk of arrest. Don’t take any chances when your life is on the line. Take our quiz to find out your risk level.

Expats

If you have lived or currently live in a GCC country such as the UAE, it is highly recommended that you check that there are no open police cases, court cases, convictions, or immigration restrictions that could lead to your arrest.

Former residents are at greater risk of having a criminal case registered against them.

Tourists

If you have visited the GCC, it is highly recommended that you check that there are no open police cases, court cases, convictions, or immigration restrictions that could lead to your arrest.  Tourists may have successfully left the UAE only to have a case registered against them at a later date meaning they will be arrested next time they visit.

Business

If you have operated a business in a GCC country such as the UAE, it is highly recommended that you check that there are no open police cases, court cases, convictions, or immigration restrictions that could lead to your arrest.  Business operators represent a significant portion of inmates and are at great risk of wrongful claims from former trade partners.

CASE STUDY

A police check would have prevented his arrest and subequent lengthy travel ban and criminal trial.
