Will a payment to the court, not received by the bank, affect my new employment visa?
Dear Lawyers,
I had a cheque execution case for a credit card and have already paid the amount to the court. However, the bank has not yet received the payment from the court.
I am now changing my job and need to apply for a new employment visa.
Will there be any issues in issuing the new visa?
Hello,
If a travel ban is in place, it will affect your new employment visa. Therefore, you need to verify whether there is any travel ban before applying for a new visa.

According to UAE law, if you have already paid the cheque execution amount to the court, but the bank has not yet received the payment, it may still appear as an unresolved issue in your records.
However, if the case is settled and the payment has been made, it should not affect your new employment visa application once the payment is officially processed and the case is closed.
To avoid complications, we recommend contacting the court to confirm the payment status and request an official clearance letter.
Additionally, you may want to reach out to the bank to ensure they have received confirmation from the court.

Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Regarding your inquiry about the cheque execution case and its potential impact on your ability to obtain a new employment visa, here’s a detailed response:
1. Status of Payment and Bank's Non-Receipt:
You mentioned that you have already made the payment to the court, but the bank has not yet received it. It’s essential to understand that although you have fulfilled your financial obligation by paying the court, the bank may not have updated their records, which could still show you as having an unsettled debt. This may affect the clearance of the case from the system.
2. Impact on Employment Visa:
When applying for a new employment visa, the UAE immigration authorities may check for any financial liabilities or legal cases against you.
If your cheque execution case is still pending in the system or has not been cleared by the bank or court, it could potentially cause issues in processing your visa application. The key concerns are:
- Travel Ban: If the case has not been closed properly in the system, there may be an active travel ban or restriction that could prevent you from obtaining the new visa.
- Court and Bank Coordination: In some cases, even if the payment is made to the court, the bank must formally acknowledge receipt, and the case must be closed on both ends. Until this process is complete, the authorities might still view the debt as unsettled.
3. Next Steps:
To proceed effectively, I recommend the following:
- Confirm Payment Status: Ensure that the payment you made to the court is properly processed and that the court has informed the bank of the settlement. You may need to follow up with the court to confirm that the payment has been transferred to the bank and that the case is officially closed.
- Obtain Clearance from the Bank: Request a formal clearance letter or statement from the bank confirming that the debt has been settled and that the case has been resolved. This document can help in resolving any discrepancies and in ensuring that the bank’s records are updated.
- Visa Application: Once the case is officially cleared, you can proceed with the employment visa application. If you face any issues or delays in processing, we can assist you in addressing the matter with the immigration authorities.
While the cheque execution case and the associated payment to the court might create some temporary issues, ensuring that the bank and court records are aligned and updated should resolve the situation.
After this, you should be able to apply for and receive your new employment visa without any issues.
Please keep me updated on the progress, and do not hesitate to reach out if you require further assistance.

If the execution procedures haven't been removed from your name in the court, it may create an issue while processing your new visa.
Therefore, you should check with the court to ensure that the execution procedures have been removed to avoid the rejection of your visa.

Dear questioner,
Yes, there will be a problem; you may not be able to convert or obtain the visa because of the case. Therefore, we need to get special approval from the court immediately for the temporary travel ban removal.
