Dubai Police warn of fraud crimes related to issuance of work visas

The Anti-Fraud Centre of Dubai Police’s General Department of Criminal Investigation warned against fraud crimes committed against people under the pretext of promising them work visas without any real basis for this promise.

The centre stressed the importance of going to official authorities and legally accredited offices concerned with completing any procedures for issuing visas and following up on the relevant guidelines regarding requirements and conditions.

As part of its ongoing ‘Beware of Fraud’ campaign, the centre underlined the importance of raising awareness about the need for visas to be verified only through official authorities, calling for constant vigilance against any type of fraud and the need to deal only with accredited and trusted entities.

The centre also called on the public to immediately report any fraud crimes or attempted fraud through Dubai Police’s smart app, ecrime platform or by calling 901.
