Extradition treaties between UAE and Bahrain regarding an outstanding loan

Dear Ahmed,

I left the UAE three months ago after losing my job with an outstanding loan and credit cards.

Two of my bank guarantee cheques of AED 20.000, and AED 612,000 (real outstanding is AED 410K) have bounced in December and a police case is likely to be registered against me.

But actually I’m planning to start a new job in Bahrain beginning of next month, then continue repaying from abroad. My residency visa in Bahrain has been issued yesterday without any problem.

If a police case is registered against me in the UAE, will this stop me at the airport in Bahrain while trying to enter, or other GCC countries?.

And am I under risk of being deported to the UAE legally?

My loan outstanding is AED 410K. Total cards outstanding 100K.

Thanks in advance

Dear Sir,

I hope you are doing well.

In the beginning, to apply a ban or an order of arresting you, it has to be based on a judgement from the court affirming that you are guilty.

So, if there is no such judgement, there will not be such an order of arresting you according to the Treaty of cooperation between GCC (I'm advising you to check if there has been a judgment issued or not).

Moreover, Interpol requires a judgment in addition to more conditions, such as that the judgement should be not less than 6 months of jail punishment.

Therefore, The amount you have mentioned is such a big amount and I believe that the bank will sue you.

So, I suggest that you should check if there is any possibility to contact the bank for a settlement avoiding any problem in the future because as I believe you will be under risk of being deported at any time.

Please do not hesitate to contact me here for further inquires.

Kind regards

Dear Ahmed,

Thanks for your reply.

I have some questions regarding my case.

What is the cost and process time to do a full check about me in police, CID, courts and immigration to see if I can travel freely to Bahrain?

And in case I enter there without any problem, but what about the exit?

As of now, I tried to settle with the banks but they are not willing to negotiate for the time being. I mean they are asking for the same EMI to be paid.

In case we don't reach an agreement any time soon, do they have the power to enforce a judgement in Bahrain (inside country arrest) or only once I want to travel (airport arrest)?
