A foreign visitor was sentenced to one month in jail for falsifying her passport to help her underage sister enter a pub.

The Dubai Court of First Instance also fined the 31-year-old Armenian, identified as A.M., Dh1,000 for overstaying her visa and gave her younger sister, identified as M.A., 20, a one-month jail sentence for using a fake passport.

Dubai Public Prosecution charged the sisters with falsifying and using a fake document.

Dubai police heard the bouncer at a pub checked the younger sister's passport and noticed that her photograph was scotch-taped over the original.

He called the Tourist Security Department at Dubai police, who arrested the younger sister and summoned the elder one who was dancing inside the pub.
