Q: I have a personal loan debt in Saudi Arabia. I am looking now to get a job in Dubai.
Will I be allowed to work in Dubai, as the money I will make will allow me then to pay back the debt in Saudi in full probably by the end of next year?
Please let me know if a travel ban in Saudi is applicable to other GCC countries like Dubai.
I really need some advice as I have been struggling to get a job and had to leave Saudi as I was gonna have my contract not renewed and had to process my divorce as well.
Thanks

The impact of UAE debts on travelling to GCC countries

Q: I have debt from the UAE and have a few bounced cheque cases against me. I left the UAE a few years back and have not travelled to the countries since then.
My question is if I travel to Qatar, Saudi or Kuwait, will those bounced cheque cases come to haunt me on those countries, even though I am just in transit of those countries?

Q: I lived and worked in the UAE from 2014-2016. At that time, I had credit cards and loans.
I returned home for the summer and my grandmother became ill not allowing me to return.
I'm trying to settle all or any debt against me, if possible, to be eligible to return to any part of the GCC, and I want to know my odds of being able to do so.
Thank you for any help or advice given.

What legal action can a company take to recover an amount from a non-paying customer? 0
Hello,
We are a building materials trading company based in the UAE. We supplied materials worth AED 50,000 to a customer around 8 months ago, but despite repeated follow-ups and reminders, no payment has been made to date.
We would appreciate guidance on the following:
1. What legal action can we take to recover the amount?
2. What documents should we have ready (e.g., delivery notes, invoice, emails)?
3. How long does the legal process typically take in the UAE for such cases?
4. Is there a recommended timeline or deadline after which legal steps should be initiated?
Thank you in advance for your advice!

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.
