Settlement of debts from a GCC bank and consequences in the UAE

Dear Honorable Lawyers,

I worked in Doha, Qatar for 15 years. I serviced a personal loan and had excellent payment records.

I got laid off at the end of 2017 and was still paying for another 6 months in 2018 despite being unemployed until I could not pay anymore.

I left Doha and returned home hoping I could find a job and slowly settle it. The bank HQ in Dubai contacted me and I told them of my unemployment and also felt ill.

Simultaneously, they asked a collection agency to follow up as and I told them the same as well. Now, I am much better and potentially may be hired in Dubai for a job.

The question is, can I be banned from entering the UAE?

I inquired from the bank to let me know how much I can settle but they are referring to the collection agency instead, which I told them I only will deal with the bank.

Can you please address my query if I am banned from entry to the UAE?

I don't want losing an employment opportunity and also to settle the loan, but I don't want to be arrested nor banned from entry to the UAE.

Advise, please.
