Can I pay the penalty of bank loan default and return to Dubai?

Hi everyone.

I need help regarding a criminal case. I lost my job years ago in Dubai and while in the search for a new job, my passport expired in that period.

I came to my country to renew it and meanwhile, after only 3 weeks of not paying the monthly installment, the bank opened a criminal case against me.

I couldn’t return and all the debt collectors threatened me for months. Besides the abusive way, and the short timing of action of the bank against me, I wish to return to Dubai.

I need a safe way but I am not able to pay the bank until I find a job there.

Is it enough only to pay the fine to the police? What are the steps to arrive safely there?

I need clear and good advice and future collaboration with a lawyer also.

Thank you

First, if you have a fine you must pay the fine.

Then, with the passport number we know whether the bank registered a case against you or not and if there is any objection to you entering the UAE. Otherwise, we cannot know that.

Dear Questioner,

If the bank filed a case against you, I need to check the status of your case. It could be a fine or jail term.

If it is fine, then you can pay the penalty.

You can contact us on WhatsApp for proper legal advice.
