Possibility of travel ban in the GCC for an unpaid loan in the UAE


10
Q: Good day.
My husband has a loan with a UAE bank. He has left the UAE a few years ago and has not paid the monthly payments.
Therefore the bank already approved to file a police case against him. He wants to visit one of the GCC countries for business and he wants to work there.
Thus he has contacted the bank to ask for rescheduling a new monthly payment plan and clear the police case. However, the bank wants to have the total amount of his loan.
I've heard that if someone has a financial police case in the UAE and when travelling to GCC countries, he will be arrested in any of the GCC countries airports, is it true?
Would it be possible to clear the police case and negotiate with the bank through a lawyer?
If it's possible, how long does it take?
Please advise,
Thank you.
Regards, E. B.

The effect of a stopover in Saudi Arabia while there might be a case in the UAE



4
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I owned an LLC company registered in Sharjah but due to financial losses. I left the UAE in June 2008 without legally closing the company. I also left my two cars at the airport and didn't inform the banks. I was paying installments for the cars.
I need to go to Turkey now for a few days and have the option to fly by Saudi airlines which will have a stopover for 3-4 hrs at Saudi airport and the second option is Qatar Airlines with a 3-4 hrs stopover at Doha airport. Just transit and connecting flight from there.
If I have cases against me in the UAE and if I am blacklisted in the UAE, will it affect my going to Saudi Arabia or Qatar?
Can I be stopped or arrested at Saudia or Qatar airports in relation to my situation in the UAE?
Please respond and help!
I also need to have a complete check of my status in the UAE as I don't know the exact situation there and if I can go to the UAE or not.

Our internal contract has a notice period of 3 months from both parties. In the new labor implementation, only one month's notice is required for less than 5 years of service.
Please advise if we can follow our internal contract since the position is very curtailed and the organization will not be able to replace the position within one month.

Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law 0
Dear sir/madam,
Annual leave salary calculation as per the new labor law.
Can you please clarify the correct annual leave salary rules?
Some say it is basic + HRA for the month you will take off, others say it is full salary, and somewhere I read it is basic + HRA (annual leave salary) plus the normal salary you get.
Can you please clarify?
Thanks for your valuable time and kind assistance!
