Can an Orange Notice affect my visa applications or immigration status?

Yes. Immigration authorities in many jurisdictions conduct INTERPOL database checks during visa processing and border control. An Orange Notice can result in visa refusals, revocation of existing visas, or denial of entry at the border — even though it is not an arrest warrant. Countries with strict security screening, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Gulf states, are particularly likely to flag Orange Notice subjects. Proactively addressing the notice before submitting visa applications is advisable, as immigration decisions based on INTERPOL alerts are difficult to reverse after the fact.
