Q: A security cheque for a loan amount has been deposited by the bank and it bounced, but have not received any call from the police. How can I check whether there is a police case? Currently, the person is outside and he got a new work visa.

Q: Hi , I left UAE during the financial crisis 2009 because I got laid back by my employer and I could not pay back my bank loan. The bank collection agents contacted me few times but I couldn't reach an agreement with them as I am facing financial difficulties as a single parent for 2 kids currently not working. l want to go back to UAE for a job offer. A friend checked for me with Immigration and Court. They found that there is a judgement in absentia of 6 months under my name and case filed requesting the amount of the loan plus the interest which I can not afford paying a single portion of it. Is there a legal solution to sort this out due to 9 years passed since I left the UAE? So I can get a job offer and support my kids and if my financial situation improves in the future I will try to settle the loan. This 6-month absentia imprisonment was issued 6 months ago.

Q: Hello, Can someone tell me what a travel ban is connected to? Is it your passport number? I understand I have an open case in Dubai for a loan (that's actually paid now) and I'm now outside the UAE, so have no Emirates ID card or number. If I attempted to get back in the country whilst that case is still open, would I be pulled up on my passport number? What if the passport number they have on record is expired and you have a new number, can that case still be connected to you? If I knew it was safe I would be happy to return and go to the police station myself to close it. I have the details from the bank.

Q: Hi Sir, I was terminated from my job last year and I left Dubai without closing my bank account. When I left my account balance was zero. Now the bank is charging me 25 Dirhams minimum on balance and debit interest rate 175 AED. The bank has made a total amount of AED -2500 from the last 15 months. My question is this: if I return on a visit visa to Dubai, will the immigration detain me? Thanks.

Q: Good day, If you have an unpaid loan then went to Dubai and got arrested on the airport, what will happen next? If you have a job offer, how long will you be arrested? Please, can someone mention all the details? What will happen since you arrive at the airport until you leave if possible and how much will it cost to pay and continue your life in the UAE?

Q: In Jan 2020, due to my personal issue, I had to go back to my country. When I left Dubai, I still had an outstanding personal loan of 125K, but the bank already deducted 49K from my gratuity money. According to the bank, I still have 73K, but I'm unable to pay my instalment since I don't have any job or income source. I'm planning to go back to Dubai ASAP to find a job, but I also understand I will face a travel ban, and they will catch me once I enter the country. I would like to settle the outstanding if I have money, could someone advise me. Many thanks

Q: Hello, I left the UAE with an outstanding personal loan (almost 200k). I believe the security cheque has been deposited due to non-payment from my side and a criminal case filed against me, which I am not sure about. I have informed the bank that I will be settling the loan amicably once I land a job. At this point, I don't plan on coming back to the UAE. But I would like to resolve this issue and maybe get legal advice for removing the case and finding a reasonable settlement amount.

With the introduction of the new procedures for obtaining a power of attorney (POA) remotely in the UAE, after it was mandatory to appear in person in front of the notary public as a global rule to ensure the identity and intention of the person requesting a POA, we put between your hands this brief guide for how you get it done.
