0
Q: Hi
I was in the UAE in 2019 and there was a 25k loan balance. For one and a half years, I did not pay the loan and moved to Qatar.
In 2023, I paid the amount in a single shot and the bank sent me an email regarding payment.
I'm coming to Dubai on a tourist visa. If the bank filed a case, will I face any problems at the airport?
I don’t know if the bank filed a case. I have all the documents regarding loan closures. Is there any problem with coming to the UAE on a tourist visa?
