The UAE government is sending out a big warning to everyone: Watch out for fake ads that promise to get you visas or residency permits super fast! These are tricks by scammers who want to take your money and cause you trouble.
What’s Happening?
Bad people are putting up ads on the internet and social media, saying they can get you a visa, work permit, or residency in the UAE in just a day or two if you pay them a lot of money. But these are all lies! They take your cash and don’t help you at all.
Sometimes, they don’t even do anything, leaving you with no visa and no money. Even worse, using these fake services can mess up your application, make you lose your money, or get you in trouble with the law. It’s a big problem that hurts everyone trying to follow the rules.
How to Stay Safe:
Always use the UAE government’s official website, their smart app, or special offices called typing centers to apply for visas or permits.
Don’t trust anyone who says they can make the process faster for extra money.
Check with the UAE government to make sure the website or person offering help is real.
If you see a strange ad or get a weird message, tell the police or the government right away.
Keep your important papers, like your passport or ID, and your money safe. Never share them with people you don’t know!
How to Spot a Scam:
The ad says you’ll get a visa in one day or without any or much paperwork.
They ask for a big payment but don’t give you a real receipt.
They push you to pay quickly without letting you check if they’re real.
The ad comes from a strange social media page that doesn’t look official (less followers and little engagements on their posts).
Why It’s a Big Deal:
If you use these fake services, your visa might not work, and you could lose all your money with no way to get it back. You might even face legal problems if you get mixed up with scammers. These scams also make it harder for everyone to get visas fairly and safely.
The UAE government is working hard to stop these scammers. They’re watching for fake ads and teaming up with the police to catch the bad guys.
They want you to use only their official website or app to stay safe. If you see anything that looks suspicious, report it to help keep everyone safe!
