The possibility to leave the UAE while a a credit card loan is not paid
Hi,
I am living in the UAE. I am an Indian national. I have a credit card. I do not have any loan and I also do not have any EMI to pay but I have 25000 AED due to pay for my credit card.
Now I got a job in Saudi Arabia and I am unable to pay all money at once. I never miss any monthly mini. payment.
When my company transfers my final salary and end-of-service benefits to my bank, will the bank freeze my bank account and file a case that I have pending 25000 AED, and will the police stop me at the airport?
Also, can I leave the UAE without paying the due amount, and without informing the bank?
Will it create any issue at the airport while leaving to India on the final exit?

Dear questioner,
Thanks for writing to me!
Please note that the bank may freeze the EoS Benefits. However, it depends upon each bank's policy decisions.
Since you have not missed any payments, the bank may not file any criminal case against you and hence you may not be stopped at the airport.
Further, I would recommend you to approach the bank to negotiate the debt and make an arrangement that the same will be paid and settled from outside.
