The procedures to respect when it comes to the entry of lawyers

Lawyers can show up at the general security bureaus on behalf of their client, without any previous procedure, but he has to have his professional card in hand. His belongings will be controlled however upon entry, while the documents held will not be submitted to such a procedure.

Lawyers can investigate and verify all the facts related to the procedures requested by his client, whether they have been done, are being done. They can check the deadlines, as well.

Notaries can show up at detention centers, to establish a proxy by the detained to a third person.
 
Procedures and documents that can eventually be requested by lawyers:
 
A general proxy can be used by the lawyer, or a specific proxy for the procedure requested. The latter is valid when it conforms to current regulations, whether it’s done abroad or locally.
 
A general proxy allows the lawyer to request any document on behalf of the interested party except the following:
 

  1. The documents that require the presence of the interested party, in order to collect his fingerprints, or to make him sign a specific document.
  2. The documents that require the presence of the interested party in order to make a testimony of some sort 

Lawyers can accompany their client during the testimonies and depositions.
 
Lawyers can eventually do a follow up on procedures related to the client (which can be a company as well), in the following cases:

  1. Entry visas: touristic visa, work visa, visa for touristic delegations, or sport delegations.
  2. Work visas (man): if a proxy is used, a formal request signed by the owner of the company, the guarantor, or the representative must be granted in order to underline the will to employ a new worker.

    a- substitute a touristic visa for a work visa
    b- substitute the foreigner’s visa for a visa of first or second class


3- The residence permits (Arabs or foreigners)

a- Applying for a residency permit.
b- Renewing a residency permit (a formal request signed by the owner of the company, the guarantor, or the representative must be granted in order to underline the will to renew the permit).
c- The transfer request of guarantees, between the old employer and the new one. ((A formal request signed by the owner of the company, the guarantor, or the representative must be granted in order to underline the will to transfer the quality of guarantor).
NB: these formal requested have to be done a year ago at the most.
