Earlier in 2015, the Criminal Investigation Department at Sharjah Police arrested five men suspected of printing fake UAE visas.
Security officials said they were tipped off about some Pakistanis who were helping people enter the UAE illegally by forging visas.
Police said the suspects were forging visas and selling them to people outside the country.
The suspects were caught after an undercover officer managed to get acquainted with a member of the gang, soliciting his help to get an illegal document.
The agent was asked to pay between AED1,000 and AED1,500 for each visa.
