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.

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.
