For those who have worked in Dubai, UAE

[Mike's Lucy 14]

Hello VJers,

I have a friend here in VJ and she posted this before but didn't get alot of answers so I am helping her by posting this question again.

To those who have worked in Dubai, is it true that you don't need or can't get a Police Clearance if you are not in Dubai anymore? she can always call the embassy in Manila and ask but she's hoping someone here in VJ might have worked there before and can tell her what to do.

Any answers will be appreciated.

From the US Department of State website:

Police Records

Available, only if applicant is physically present in the UAE.

Police certificates may be obtained by any person, regardless of nationality, by personally appearing at the Central Police Headquarters located in the emirate of residence or former residence. When appearing to request a police certificate, the applicant should provide recent photographs, a letter from the requesting authority, the date of residence in the emirate, and their passport.

Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE.

Meaning she don't need to submit a Dubai Police Clearance anymore? Hmmmm, wondering if USEM is aware of this.

No they probably do not... bring in printouts from the DOS website and give them a little education
