Q: Hi Ibrahim,
I want to consult regarding a criminal case and passport ban in the UAE.
Actually, I was in the UAE and I had a loan, but due to some uncertain reasons, I had to come back to India. I did not close my residence visa file and the loan.
Now, I settled all things here and I also have a job offer from the UAE. I want to come back and clear my all dues. Please guide me on this issue.
Thanks & regards,
D. D.

Checking the status of a criminal complaint after accusation of stealing

Q: Greetings,
My nephew has been allegedly arrested by the Ajman Police because his work colleague accused him of stealing his money.
We have paid the money to the complainant's parents back in our home country per the agreement we had with the complainant, yet he said that the case has been pushed to the court and my nephew has been remanded till 28th of February 2020.
I kindly seek your assistance to verify if what the complainant is telling me is true or not so I know the necessary action to take.
The big problem is that I’m not living in the UAE and he has no relatives living there with him.
I need your assistance and advice on this case, please!

Q: Hello,
I had a financial criminal case registered against me due to the non-payment of rent to the landlord.
I cleared all the outstanding dues levied on me by RDC in December-2022. The case was then closed by RDC.
I now intend to visit the UAE, so will my case impact my visit visa, even if it has been settled and resolved?

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 2
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
