Getting a new employment visa while a cheque bounce case is being processed 0
Hi All,
I have an existing criminal "cheque bounce" case under my name for dishonoring loan payments. I'm also a victim of unpaid salaries and gratuity from the previous employer.
However, I have reached a stalemate in negotiating with the bank as they are not interested in accepting the money I could offer in the interim despite having a clear understanding of my predicament.
Finally, I have an offer from a company after all these months and I'm anticipating to accept this offer but I'm yet to resolve the criminal case!
Since the bank is not willing to negotiate, I've planned to pay the criminal case removal fee or fine to the Dubai Police. I know that the bank would immediately proceed with a civil case should that happen.
My question is how long does it take to file a civil case? And can they initiate a travel ban without appeal while filing the civil case in court?
Will it affect my capacity to get a new employment visa stamped and work in the UAE while the civil case is active?
