Returning to the UAE on a visit visa while bounced cheques are pending
Dear sir/madam,
I had 2 cheque bounce cases in the UAE; one in Sharjah and another in Abu Dhabi. The Sharjah case went to court and the judge gave me a 10k AED fine. I paid the fine and the case was closed.
The Abu Dhabi case was pending and now due to the new amendment in law, this case is also closed without any fine. Now I want to travel to the UAE on a visit visa, to see if I can find a job or set up a small business and start my life altogether.
I have heard that once I enter the UAE, the bank will get to know the same and they will file a civil case and impose a travel ban. Once entered, I will not be able to get out till I clear the payment with the bank.
I am ready to have a negotiation with the bank and make the repayment in installment but I don't want to be stuck in the UAE with a travel ban.
Please advise on this. Also, I want to check my immigration status - if my travel bans by the cheque bounce cases issued earlier are cleared.
Dear questioner,
For civil cases, the bank can file execution here and if you get a job or start a business here, you have to pay the installments.
There will be a travel ban till the entire amount agreed between you and the bank is paid.
For checking your immigration status, we charge 1050 AED as our fees.
If you want us to check, please send your last visa page to our email.
Thank you!
