FAQ’s

What should I do if I receive a police summons in Dubai?

If you receive a police summons, do not ignore it. You should first understand the reason for the summons, collect relevant documents and seek legal advice before attending the police station. A criminal lawyer can help you prepare your statement and avoid procedural mistakes.

Do I need a lawyer while I am under investigation?

Yes. Legal support is important during the investigation stage because statements, documents and evidence submitted early can affect the direction of the case. A criminal lawyer can review the complaint, advise on your rights and assist with police or Public Prosecution procedures.

Is bail available in UAE criminal cases?

Bail may be available in many criminal cases, depending on the nature of the offence, evidence, flight risk and decision of the competent authority. Conditions may include passport surrender, financial guarantee or other requirements set by the police, Public Prosecution or court.

Can a criminal case be settled or withdrawn in the UAE?

Some criminal matters can be settled, withdrawn or resolved through waiver or reconciliation, depending on the type of offence and approval of the competent authority. Serious offences may continue even if the complainant withdraws the complaint.

Can a criminal case lead to a travel ban?

Yes. A criminal case can lead to a travel ban or movement restriction while the matter is under investigation, before the court or during enforcement. Removal depends on the case status, authority approval and supporting legal grounds.

Can a criminal travel ban be removed?

A criminal travel ban may be removed in some cases after submitting a proper request to the competent authority. The decision depends on the case type, investigation status, guarantees provided and whether the authority is satisfied that the person will comply with the legal process.

Can bounced cheque cases still involve criminal liability in the UAE?

Some cheque disputes are handled through civil or execution procedures, but criminal liability may still arise where fraud, bad faith, forgery or other criminal conduct is alleged. The correct legal route depends on the facts and supporting documents.

Can WhatsApp messages, social media posts or online reviews be used in a criminal case?

Yes. Digital records such as WhatsApp messages, emails, screenshots, social media posts, online reviews and call records may be relevant in criminal complaints, cybercrime matters, defamation cases, fraud allegations or harassment claims. A lawyer can review whether the material supports a complaint or defence.

Can a criminal judgment be appealed in Dubai?

Yes. A criminal judgment can be appealed within the applicable legal deadline. A lawyer can review the judgment, identify appeal grounds, prepare supporting submissions and represent the client before the relevant appeal court.

Can a criminal case affect an expatriate’s visa or deportation status?

Yes. A criminal case or conviction can create immigration consequences for expatriates, including travel restrictions, visa issues or deportation in certain cases. The outcome depends on the offence, judgment and applicable legal provisions.
