How to Get a Police Clearance Certificate in Eritrea

If you plan to visit Eritrea for more than six months, you must acquire a police clearance certificate (PCC). The Eritrea Police Headquarters provide this in Asmara, Eritrea. But first, you must write a letter stating you need it and that the headquarters can collect it on your behalf. The clearance certificate is only offered to those with no criminal record and those applying for immigration status to other countries.

 

What is required?

  • A document confirming why you need the certificate
  • Duly filled application form
  • Two recent passport photos.
  • Certified copy showing where you live
  • A detailed letter indicates your stay period and your need for the certificate.
  • Copies of the first three data pages of your passport.

 

The steps to acquiring the PCC are as follows. 

  • Send a written disclosure request to the Eritrean Embassy.
  • Fill all sections of the application letter in block letters with black ink.
  • Have your fingerprints taken (all ten fingers) and post them with the application form.
  • You will receive a document requiring your signature.
  • Once completed, you will receive your PCC at the address provided during the application.
  • You can also get it via courier at an additional cost.

 

The process may take up to 3 weeks if no criminal record is found. Also, a non-refundable fee applies.

Dubai Eliminates 10-Day Grace Period for Visit Visas

Dubai Eliminates 10-Day Grace Period for Visit Visas

Dubai has made changes to its visa policies, removing the 10-day grace period previously granted to visitors whose tourist visas had expired. This alteration means that individuals who overstay their visa will now face a daily fine of Dh50. Travel agents and call center representatives have confirmed the elimination of the grace period, making Dubai the last emirate to enforce this change.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) is expected to release an official statement regarding the removal of the grace period. Visit visa holders issued by Dubai immigration are advised to either apply for a visa extension before the expiry date or leave the country.

The new regulations were recently implemented, with the aim of ensuring compliance with visa requirements. Travel agents have noticed the absence of the 10-day grace period and have urged visitors to apply for a 30-day extension visa to avoid overstay fines.

Dubai introduced revised fines in October, reducing the daily penalty from Dh100 to Dh50. Additionally, new visa options were introduced, allowing tourists to stay for up to 60 days at a time. These changes were part of a series of visa reforms approved by the UAE Cabinet in April. All entry visas, whether for single or multiple entries, can now be renewed for an additional 60 days.

It is essential for visitors to adhere to the visa rules and regulations to avoid legal repercussions. Authorities frequently conduct inspection campaigns to apprehend those staying illegally in the country. By implementing these changes, Dubai aims to maintain better visa compliance and ensure a smooth and regulated entry and exit process for all visitors.
