Q: Good afternoon, I need a legal advice: I have an unsettled bank debt in the UAE. I have lost my job in 2017 and I was not able to pay my instalments. After discussing with the bank, the bank agreed not to initiate any legal action against my liabilities, in order to return to the UAE to search for a job. I got a police clearance certifying that I’m of good conduct. My question is : Does this clearance guarantee that there is no arrest warrant /travel ban against me? Note: it is mentioned on the clearance: "the department is not responsible for legal rights of others". What does it mean? Appreciate your response! Thank you!

Q: Hi there. I had a debt in Dubai but last week I paid the full amount. As a result, they gave me a clearance letter to confirm the payment.

So now that I paid everything, can I enter in Dubai again? Thanks
