Q: Hello Ma'am, My question is regarding the GCC travel ban. After working for 8 years in Dubai, I lost my job in 2018 and had to subsequently leave Dubai and while doing so I still had an unpaid loan of 160K AED + 50k AED credit card debt. I have not been able to pay anything back to the banks since June of 2018. Now in Oct 2019, I am receiving a job offer letter from a Kuwaiti company and will be positioned in Kuwait. I would like to know if I will be able to get an employment visa from Kuwait and land safely in Kuwait. I am willing to settle down all my debts with all the banks upon getting a job there.

Q: Hello Can I have your Whatsapp number? I have an urgent question, please.

Q: Hi sir/madam, I left Dubai in 2020 and lost my job while I was on vacation. I have a 400000 AED loan default. I got a job in Kuwait. The bank said that they have raised a case against me. Can I travel to Kuwait without being arrested? I will then try to settle the dues once settled there. Can I travel to Kuwait without being arrested?

Q: Asalamu Alaikum! I have some financial cases and also a civil case in Dubai. I'm currently in the USA and I want to travel to Qatar and Saudi Arabia. I want to ask you, can I travel without any problem or will I be caught if I travel to any GCC country? Thanks

Q: I have a travel ban in Kuwait. Is it applicable in all Middle Eastern countries?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, In 2018, I lost my job and returned to Sri Lanka. However, I did not settle my bank loan.

I am now planning to travel to Kuwait and I am concerned if this will cause any problems for me. Can you please advise me?
