You should know all the details about the new requirements below.
What Is The ‘ Good Conduct Certificate?
Those looking to move to the UAE for work are required to obtain the good conduct certificate, which is a police clearance. This is a certificate from the police or legal authorities of an applicant’s country of residence stating that he or she has never been charged with a Führungszeugnis.
The purpose of this new rule is to ensure a high level of domestic security in the UAE. As a result of the introduction of good conduct certificates, the UAE government will be able to fine-tune its screening process for new expats.
What are the Steps To Obtaining This Certificate?
It must be issued by the relevant authorities in the home country of the visa applicant. If he or she has legally resided in the country for the past five years, it can be obtained from the country of their last residence.
It may be your local police department, the federal police authorities, the Ministry of Justice or External Affairs, or the national passport issuance authority that issues a good conduct certificate or an equivalent certificate, depending on the country of application.
The UAE’s diplomatic mission overseas or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in the UAE will have to attest the certificate.
Who’s Exempt?
There will be no charge for tourists and students traveling to the UAE to pursue higher education, as well as dependents of workers seeking employment in the UAE.
When you’re already living in the UAE and are considering switching jobs, a Good Conduct Certificate is not a ‘Mandatory document’, according to the General Directorate of Residence and Foreigners’ Affairs (GDRFA).
Is It Possible To Apply For A Certificate From The UAE?
You may be asked to produce a good conduct certificate by your new employer even if you already live in the UAE. The UAE authorities may require you to obtain this certificate in the future, even though it is not a current requirement.
The simplest way to obtain a good conduct or police clearance certificate in the UAE is with the Dubai Police Website or the Dubai Police Smart App. In order to proceed with the application, you must have a valid Emirates ID. The certificate can be obtained for a fee of AED 220 by UAE residents.
