Q: Hi. If my rental cheque has bounced and I paid the fine in my primary case, do I get a jail term after that? Can I travel to my home country?

Q: Hi. I would like to ask a question. I had a bank loan in 2013, and due to crises, I lost my job in 2015 and couldn't continue my loan instalments. But now, I got a job in Dubai, and before coming to Dubai I spoke to the bank from my home country to remove police case and allow me to come to Dubai. The outstanding amount was AED 68K. The bank gave me a release letter with the help of Central Bank on the condition that I will continue my loan instalments, but my salary is not that big to be able to continue. So now the bank is telling me they will make a travel ban and civil case against me. My question is if bank files a case and I pay a fine in court against the cheque bounce, will the central bank or local bank still make another case or travel ban? Please help me and give your advice. Thank you

Q: Hi Nikhat, I hope you are well and don't mind messaging you. I saw your post about a police good conduct certificate. If I apply for one of these from outside the UAE, will it say if I have any open cases against me? I believe they are closed and would like to re-enter the UAE. Many thanks in advance for your advice. Kind regards

Q: Hi Naser, good evening. I require some advice on whether or not I can re-enter the UAE if I have an existing debt?
