Dubai: Dubai residents are being warned against drawing up fake attested tenancy contracts to obtain visas for family members.
Dubai Courts recently looked into many cases of people used forged tenancy contracts and water and electricity bills to present them to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affair (GDRFA) in Dubai to renew their residency or to get visas for family members. An attested lease agreement is required for all tenants in the UAE to obtain visas for family members.
In a recent case at the Dubai Court of First Instance, a 35-year-old Syrian man was charged with forging a tenancy contract from Shrarjah as well as the water and electricity bill to get a visa issued for his son.
