Q: I have a personal loan debt in Saudi Arabia. I am looking now to get a job in Dubai.
Will I be allowed to work in Dubai, as the money I will make will allow me then to pay back the debt in Saudi in full probably by the end of next year?
Please let me know if a travel ban in Saudi is applicable to other GCC countries like Dubai.
I really need some advice as I have been struggling to get a job and had to leave Saudi as I was gonna have my contract not renewed and had to process my divorce as well.
Thanks

Do I get a travel ban in the UAE for a bank loan in Saudi Arabia?
16
Q: Good day!
I'm a resident of the UAE now. I had an unpaid bank loan in Saudi Arabia way back in 2014.
Now, Bilkish agency, a debt collection agency, keeps on calling me to pay my debt in just a few days. I can't afford to pay immediately because I'm not earning too much.
An agent said she will make sure the bank will block me here in the UAE.
Does the collection agency have the right to block me in immigration or put me into travel ban here in the UAE?
Thank you so much for your reply.

Can I negotiate with the bank to reduce the installments of a loan to continue paying?

0
Q: Dear Sir,
I have an outstanding loan and I have left KSA because I lost my job 2 years ago. The bank has used a legal firm in Dubai to contact me. Since I'm jobless for 2 years, I cannot afford to make payments.
Can I pay with the new payment schedule, with a lower installment that I can afford?
I think if we continue to make payments (any amount) the legal team has no right to block me from entering KSA in the future.
Please advise.

Bank filed a civil case over a loan: Better to settle with the bank or in court? 0
Good day, Sir,
I have received a message from the Dubai Court stating that a bank has filed a civil case against me. The loan has been pending since February 2019.
I cleared the cheque bounce case earlier with a court fine in 2019. I am looking forward to a minimum settlement plan with the bank. The outstanding amount was around 70,000 AED, and now the message is for 115,000 AED.
What will be the best way for me to proceed: approaching the bank or dealing with it in court?
Best regards,
