Can I pass in a GCC airport for transit if I have a debt in the UAE?
1
Q: Hi Rajasree,
I lived in the UAE and then came back to my home country. I have 3 credit cards outstanding around AED 25K with UAE banks and now I want to travel to the UK.
So the question I have is whether transiting via Doha airport is safe or not.
Do they arrest or detain me in Doha for the outstanding I have with UAE's bank credit card?

Checking a possible travel ban in the UAE and GCC
1
Q: Property under dispute: 1BHk, Legrand Chateau, JVC.
Original value purchased in 2008: AED 1.3M.
Loan amount, ADCB: AED 900,000
Downpayment made: AED 450,000 including all transfer and bank fees.
In 2009-2010, the rental agreement and PoA were handed to the bank, since we were leaving the UAE. Mr.Vald, a Russian tenant, started defaulting on the rent after 3/4 of the year.
We told the bank, you use the PoA in your power, and we look for an alternative tenant from India. We could not come as we have just restarted our career here.
In 2010-12, the tenant has stayed free as the bank has not used the PoA to renew the rental agreement. In 2012, the bank put a Dubai Court seal on the flat.
6 months later in 2012 end onwards, the bank has deployed some other tenant started collecting rent on our behalf. Now, it's not incorporating the rental income in the outstanding (AED 792,000D).
The annual rent then was AED 55k. An email sent by bank mentions potential travel ban. We want to know if this is valid already and inclusive of GCC, as we need to travel in the next 2 days.
Can we get a status update on this?

Now, I have a final judgment from a court against me. Also, I had dues from my credit card but not more than 25K.

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 0
Hi.
One of my friends joined a Telegram group. They said, "We will transfer some amount to your account, and your task is to transfer this amount to another account. Once the task is completed, you will get 30 or 50 AED per task."
He completed 3 to 4 tasks, but he realized it was not good, so he stopped. After one week, when he opened his account, it was blocked, and the bank said, "We are conducting an investigation; after this, we will let you know."
After some days, he had an accident and went to his home country. He then received a call from a landline number, which was from the Abu Dhabi police station.
They said, "We have received a complaint against you; come to our investigation department." However, due to his surgery and treatment, he could not go.
After some time, his bank account was reopened, and he did not receive any further calls. I want to know, if he comes back to the UAE or goes to any other GCC country, will he face any problems?
If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country?
Please advise!
