Question

Can you get a working visa in dubai if you have a criminal record?

Answer 1

Yeah if you work as a criminal!!!

Are you here in UAE? How'd u pass the iris scan?

INTERPOL, INTERPOL!!!

Answer 2

Probably, as far as I know the Visa form does not contain any questions pertaining to prior criminal record.

It may depend on the type of job you are applying for, a health related job or security or financial related job might be difficult to get, as the employers will most likely ask AND check !

Answer 3

You defently will not get an emplyoment visa for a job where a security check will be done. Also not a job where a police record from your home country is required.

Otherwise you may be okay.

Answer 4

depends where the criminal record is and what it was for. if u had a record say here in the uk, then i dont think that that would come to light if u applied for a resdience visa in dubai. i lived there for 12 years and from what i can remember there are no questions on the form asking about criminal records.  of course things can change but best bet is to try for it and see what happens good luck
