Will I be arrested if I come to the UAE and I have an outstanding credit liability in Saudi Arabia?

Dear Team,

I seek your assistance regarding a financial matter.

I have an outstanding credit liability in Saudi Arabia amounting to approximately 80,000 SAR. I left the KSA in early 2023, and I now plan to travel to the UAE for a week.

Could you please advise whether a travel ban in Saudi Arabia extends to other GCC countries, and if there is any potential risk of arrest or imprisonment upon entering the UAE under these circumstances?

Hello, dear.

In this case, it's best to conduct a security check in the UAE to determine if there are any cases or circulars from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, so you can safely arrive in the UAE.

Recently, there have been agreements between the Gulf Cooperation Council countries on financial matters.
