Q: How to check if there is any travel ban and if the travel ban is imposed in GCC?

Q: I have a loan with UAE bank: 1 credit card outstanding value is 22,000 AED & one personal loan around 85,000 AED. I lost my job on Jun 2016. From there I unable to pay my EMI (6 months). Bank is not agreeing for settlement plan as per my request. Now they are saying they are going to file a case.Now my doubt, if I get a job in GCC other than UAE, will police catch me in the airport in any GCC? OR arrest is possible only if they file a case in that particular country?Please, advise.

Q: I have 3 bank debts in UAE and they already filed the case against me. Is there any possibility that arrest will happen in any other GCC countries? Right now I am working in Qatar.
