Q: My husband has a travel ban in the UAE due to credit card debts. I was staying in the UAE in the year 2011 along with my husband and we returned to India when he lost his job. Now I am planning to travel to Dubai for a tour without my husband. Will there be any legal issues for my travel with my kids? I did not have any banking transactions on my name during my earlier stay in Dubai.

Q: Hi, My friend's father is in debt to Dubai banks and is out of the country. My friend is also no longer in Dubai but wishes to come back. Is there any threat for her to enter Dubai to work or for visit? Will she be held accountable or liable in any way? The Dubai banks are also trying to get my friend's hometown local number and messaging her on social media and through contacting her office asking for her personal details to question about her father's debt. Is this legal and allowed? My friend is unsure how to get rid of the banks questioning her and wants to know what action she cant take to prevent this as it is not her debt.

Q: There is a travel ban associated with my passport. Is it possible that a family member with the same family name gets arrested at the border, or is it strictly linked to my passport details?

Q: Hi all, One of my friends has a pending credit card debt in the UAE/Dubai. She left the country around 5-6 years ago. She was contacted by an agency, approximately 1-2 years after she left, and was told that she has to make payments or else face a travel ban, a police case, etc. She asked for the details of the transactions from the agency and bank so that she could settle the payments from outside the UAE, but the bank or agency did not provide detailed statements after repeated requests. Now, after almost 4 years, my friend's family members, such as parents, cousins, and brothers, want to go on a holiday to Dubai. Will they be prevented from entering Dubai and stopped at immigration if they have the same family name or address on their travel documents? Can someone please advise, as my friend is quite worried? Thanks in advance!

Q: Dear sir/madam, My friend wants to return to the UAE. She previously held a mother sponsorship visa in the UAE. However, her mother has outstanding loans/credit card debts and she is a supplementary cardholder. In 2016, both their visas were canceled and they returned to the Philippines. Will this affect her chances of returning to the UAE? She did not sign anything for these loans or credit cards, as she is not the principal holder. However, since her visa is sponsored by her mother, who is the debtor, and she holds a supplementary card, will this affect her? Or will it not because she has not signed anything?"

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, If there is a case against me for credit card non-payment, will it extend to my wife?
