3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميع Will the UAE travel ban affect you across all GCC Countries starting from January 2025?




0
Q: Hello,
I'm seeking legal advice on behalf of a friend who has outstanding personal and business loans in the UAE that have been overdue since 2015.
He is currently outside the UAE and there are indications that legal action—including a travel ban—might have been taken against him.
He has renewed his passport and now holds a new one.
I have two main concerns:
1. Travel to Other GCC Countries:
- Can he travel to other GCC countries, such as Qatar, without facing arrest at immigration due to his unpaid UAE loans?
- I have heard that starting from January 2025, the Immigration Systems will be linked across all GCC Countries. Will that affect him?
2. Re-entry into the UAE:
- Is it possible for him to obtain a visa and re-enter the UAE?
- If he enters the UAE, would he risk arrest, or is there a legal pathway that would allow him to settle his debts through installments or other means?
- Can the existing cases be resolved in a manner that permits legal re-entry?
Thank you!

I have a personal loan. When is a travel ban supposed to be issued?



5
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a personal loan, and I received an offer in another non-GCC country.
I approached the bank, and the representative informed me that I can make payments from outside, and the bank will initiate legal action only if two consecutive months are unpaid.
However, I want to know if the bank will issue a ban immediately after receiving the final settlement, or if they can only file a case if the security cheque bounces for two consecutive months.

Facing mental and financial harassment from my husband. What can I do? 0
Hello,
My husband is mentally harassing me for my salary. He wants my full salary and savings. He knows I am an epilepsy patient, so proper sleep is very important for me.
Still, he fights with me all night. He just wants my salary. Last year, I left him and went back to India, but after a few months, he came to me and assured me he wouldn't misbehave with me.
But now he has again started fighting with me all the time for my salary. According to him, my salary is his asset because after marriage, I came to Dubai.
Please help me and suggest.

Can declaring bankruptcy protect civil company partners from rent-related travel bans? 0
Bankruptcy of Civil Company in Dubai – Impact on Partners and Landlord Execution Case
I am a partner in a civil company in Dubai that has accumulated rental dues of over 1 million. The landlord has obtained a judgment and filed an execution case that includes travel bans, arrest orders, and licence freezes against the company and its partners.
I want to understand the legal and practical implications of initiating bankruptcy proceedings for the civil company under UAE law:
Can a civil company file for bankruptcy in the UAE, or must the partners do so individually?
What is the impact on existing execution cases—the one filed by the landlord to recover unpaid rent?
Will travel bans and arrest warrants issued against partners be lifted automatically upon filing or approval of bankruptcy?
Is bankruptcy advisable in cases where the only major creditor is the landlord pursuing rent recovery?
Are all partners jointly and severally liable even after bankruptcy is filed?

What can you do if the bank filed a case against despite paying the loan by insurance after losing job? 0
Hello Sir,
My friend had a large personal loan and paid installments for 1.5 years before losing his job.
A criminal case was filed in 2019, but he was cleared with a fine as the judge accepted that job loss insurance covered the loan. Funds were credited (shown in the statement & SMS), and customer service confirmed twice that the loan was cleared.
He also paid AED 10K+ interest for the insurance. A year later, a cheque case was filed by a debt company and bank—he won with the same documents. Now, in Jan 2025, the bank filed a commercial case.
The court appointed an expert, but the expert ignored his evidence. he showed that a key page of the contract (stating job loss insurance) was missing from the bank’s submission.
The bank told the expert the credited amount was a “loan write-off,” but gave no proof. The expert never investigated his findings.
I need advice on whether this verdict can be appealed and whether it’s worth pursuing further. My friend is in India now

How can I remove overstay fines so that my new employer can issue my visa? 0
I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding a complex immigration issue involving a person currently overstaying in Abu Dhabi.
His visa has expired, and although he received a job offer from a company in January 2025, the new visa process has not moved forward due to outstanding fines.
To resolve the issue, he applied to the court in November 2024 to request a reduction in the overstay fine.
He received a notification/link in January 2025 to visit immigration, but unfortunately, he could not attend due to serious health issues related to uric acid, which left him unable to walk.
Additionally, he was unable to seek medical help due to the lack of health insurance and severe financial difficulties.
He is now in a position where he wants to regularize his status in the UAE, clear any pending issues, and find a job to support his family.
We kindly request your guidance.
We would greatly appreciate your support in helping to resolve this matter in the best possible way.
Thank you

عرض الجميعI posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened me to file a defamation case against me. What to do? 0
I recently posted a review for a piercing shop, and they threatened to file a defamation case against me. I didn't get it first. Their customer service was rude, and when I posted a review about it, they said they would file a complaint.
I basically said I gave them one star, and I said whenever I have gone to their Instagram page to ask questions, they have been rude to me.
Probably they don't want to answer or they are irritated by my questions for improving their customer service, especially for their clients who paid you for piercings!
This is my review. I want to ask, is this illegal and considered defamation?
Don't I have a right to post reviews?

What to do if an employee fails to provide the required 90-day written notice for resignation? 0
Colleagues,
The situation is as follows:
The contract expires on August 14, 2025. However, the contract includes the following clauses:
1. (The “Term”) commencing on August 1, 2023. The contract shall automatically and repeatedly renew for periods of 2 years unless either Party notifies the other in writing, not less than 90 days prior to the expiry date of such period, of its desire not to renew the original or any renewed period.
2. This contract may be terminated by either of the Parties prior to the end of the Term, provided that the terminating Party serves the other Party with advance written notice of 90 days (minimum 30 and maximum 90 calendar days).
The employee today expressed a desire not to extend the contract. But he didn't serve the required notice (90 days).
What can we do in this case?

Will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet? 0
Good day!
I am currently covered under the [-------] plan with [-----]. My marital status is still listed as single, but I am getting married on August 5. Due to unexpected travel issues, our original wedding date in June had to be rescheduled.
I recently became pregnant and have already paid for my antenatal check-up package for the first trimester. After my wedding, I plan to submit my marriage certificate to update my status with the insurer.
I would like to kindly ask for advice: will my current pregnancy affect my insurance coverage or status since I am not officially married yet?
Could there be any risk of my insurance being canceled or any legal implications because of this timing?
I appreciate your guidance and any clarification you can provide.
Thank you very much for your support.

When can I expect the court of execution to pay my labor dues after winning the case for training cost? 0
I recently won my case at MOHRE regarding the AED 6,000 training cost, which the company was not entitled to.
I have now filed an execution request at Al Adheed on July 4, 2025, to claim my pending salary and visa cancellation, which were not provided within the legal 14-day period.
As I do not have an Emirates ID yet, the report was submitted using my passport. I was informed I would receive a court fee payment link if the process pushes through.
May I kindly ask:
Will the execution proceed using my passport?
How long does this process usually take?
What should I expect next?
Thank you for your assistance.
