Can you claim labor dues after five years to settle a bank loan and return to the UAE?

Hi Nicole,

Greetings,

My name is M. Because of a family crisis, I left the UAE 5 and 1/2 years ago in emergency and could not return back.

I have a remaining bank loan which is around 100,000 AED. Because of the circumstances, I did not even claim my settlement money for working 15 years in the company which could be between 60K to 80k.

Could you please let me know if there is any legal way that I receive my final settlement from the company I worked for and pay it to the bank as a final settlement?
