Unpaid loan in Dubai and its effect on working in GCC
17
Q: I've taken a loan of AED 65000 in 2005 and left Dubai in the same year after the job was lost.
When I approached the bank, they insisted for one-time payment which I could not afford from India.
Now, I got an offer from Oman. Can I travel to Oman with this outstanding loan in Dubai? Will I be caught in Oman?
I want to find out if I am blacklisted or a police case pending against me.
Kindly suggest.

The restriction to travel to the UAE is still valid while the bank issue is cleared

1
Q: Hello,
My inquiry is in connection with a restriction placed on my wife from entering the UAE.
In May this year, we flew to the Dubai airport. I was cleared but my wife was not. Please note that my wife never lived in the UAE although we both lived in Qatar. We contacted Qatar and consequently cleared the issue she had with a bank and was given a clearance letter from the bank.
However, the restriction in the UAE is still valid even after we had settled the original issue. This has been ongoing for the past 3 months. I will like to engage a legal service to help us resolve this and obtain a police clearance.

Traveling to a GCC country while there is an unpaid loan in the UAE
24
Q: Hello Ma'am,
My question is regarding the GCC travel ban. After working for 8 years in Dubai, I lost my job in 2018 and had to subsequently leave Dubai and while doing so I still had an unpaid loan of 160K AED + 50k AED credit card debt.
I have not been able to pay anything back to the banks since June of 2018. Now in Oct 2019, I am receiving a job offer letter from a Kuwaiti company and will be positioned in Kuwait.
I would like to know if I will be able to get an employment visa from Kuwait and land safely in Kuwait. I am willing to settle down all my debts with all the banks upon getting a job there.

In 2011, I left the UAE with an unpaid loan and credit card of around 40000/- AED. I received many calls from the bank stating that I have been issued a red notice and the case is reported to Interpol.
Now I am in India and I got a job in Qatar. Is there any problem for me to work in Qatar?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale?
Who is responsible for managing this process?
At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit.
He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
