Can I return to Dubai by paying only the court fine for a 2016 debt case?
Dear Sir,
I hope this message finds you well!
I am writing to seek your advice regarding a debt case filed in 2016 in the UAE. The debt amounts to approximately 45,000 AED (20,000 AED cheque amount and 25,000 AED credit card amount).
The associated interest has now possibly exceeded 150,000 AED. I have recently secured a job in Dubai and am eager to return; however, I am currently unable to pay the full debt amount.
I am aware of a court fine of 5,000 AED. I would like to understand if there is any possibility of returning to Dubai by paying only this court fine and lawyer fee.
Could you please advise on any available legal avenues or procedures that may allow me to resolve this matter and return to Dubai under these circumstances?
Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance!
Best Regards,
Dear Client,
To address your debt case and return to Dubai, you should first get detailed information about your current legal status and any outstanding cases from the UAE courts.
Paying the 5,000 AED court fine might not resolve the entire debt issue, especially with substantial interest accrued.
You can negotiate with creditors for a settlement or payment plan.

Hello,
I understand from your message that there is a criminal case against you resulting in a fine due to the bounced cheque and the debt you owe to the bank, and you wish to return to the UAE.
I must inform you that in 2016, bounced cheques resulted in criminal cases at the police, leading to fines.
However, the laws have changed, and now banks have the right to initiate direct cheque execution cases against you to claim the amounts due.
Therefore, you need to ensure whether the bank has initiated a direct cheque execution case against you or not.
Additionally, regarding the criminal judgment against you, we can check this to close the file by paying the fine and obtaining a clearance certificate.
It is crucial to check your situation first to guide you accurately.

Dear Questioner,
You need to be very selective with your lawyer, as your matter needs to be settled with the bank before your entry.
We have helped many clients solve these types of cases in a swift timeline.
First, we recommend settling half of the actual due amount as one sum, and we can help you with that directly with the bank without paying any additional interest. This option is subject to both parties' approval.
Second, suggest a new installment plan to the bank for the actual due amount only, with no interest. The bank might request an advance payment. This is also subject to both parties' acceptance of the suggested installment plan.
Lastly, we can assist you in requesting to pay the actual amount from the judge in installments if the bank refuses.
We guarantee you the lowest prices in the market.
Dear Questioner,
- Debt Settlement:
Explore the possibility of negotiating a settlement with your creditors, possibly through the help of your lawyer. Sometimes, creditors may agree to a reduced lump-sum payment.
- Court Orders:
Investigate if there are any court orders or travel bans issued against you. Your lawyer can help check and potentially lift these if possible.
- Payment Plans:
Discuss with your lawyer the feasibility of setting up a payment plan with your creditors that is manageable within your current financial situation.
- Legal Representation:
Ensure that your lawyer represents you in any court proceedings to negotiate terms that would allow you to return to Dubai.
By following these steps and obtaining proper legal advice, you can explore the best possible avenues to resolve your debt issue and return to Dubai.
