Q: Good afternoon, I need a legal advice: I have an unsettled bank debt in the UAE. I have lost my job in 2017 and I was not able to pay my instalments. After discussing with the bank, the bank agreed not to initiate any legal action against my liabilities, in order to return to the UAE to search for a job. I got a police clearance certifying that I’m of good conduct. My question is : Does this clearance guarantee that there is no arrest warrant /travel ban against me? Note: it is mentioned on the clearance: "the department is not responsible for legal rights of others". What does it mean? Appreciate your response! Thank you!

Q: Hi I want to come back to a new job in Dubai, since I lost my job back in 2017 when I moved out, I had few debts. How can I make sure I can re-enter the country and clear all legal issues without going to prison or held as a criminal & start working again? Thanks

Q: Hi Sir/Madam, My name is L. I had 3 credit cards debts and I was terminated from my job in Dubai in 2020 because of Corona. Since then I went back home but was still making the minimum payments to the banks until July 2021. Until now I am getting calls from those banks saying they will bounce the cheque and file a case against me. Since the new law has been passed, I know the bounced cheque can be directly be used as an execution deed without the need to go through a long civil case. My question is when I am back in Dubai, will I get a travel ban and/or jail term? If yes, then I am assuming it is for not honoring the judgment order, then what is normally the term? Kindly advise

Q: Dear sir/madam, I have a rent case in Dubai but I was in India due to Corona and now I want to come back. Do I get arrested at the airport?

س: السلام عليكم، موقوف بقضية قيد التحقيق منذ 3 أشهر بتهمة خيانة الأمانة. قُدِّم طلب كفالة. في حالة الموافقة على التكفيل وخروجه لوقت المحاكمة، هل تُحسب له مدة الـ 3 أشهر التوقيف بعد الحكم عليه ورجوعه للحبس أم يرجع مجموع أيام حبسه إلى صفر؟

Q: Hello, Is there a time after which an arrest warrant will be removed if a person hasn’t returned to Dubai in five years?

The management of individual financial affairs is crucial and all the actions must be weighed down while committing to any financial liability. Whether it's job loss that may have lead to financial failure or the opposite, one must be aware of the personal liability which will not diminish by paying fines for cheque bounce cases. There are two major types of liabilities, criminal liability and civil liability. Each has its own significance, hence, must be dealt with accordingly.
