My name is Muhammad, I am from Pakistan. My passport no. is [------].
Last time, before 1 year, I was travelling to Kenya -Nairobi via Dubai and the immigration caught me saying I have to pay AED 6800 because Sharjah police station had a complaint about renting a car.
So my friend paid the money in Sharjah at al Buhairah Police Station. After 2 hours, the immigration police released me and I went to Kenya. After 10 days I will come back to Pakistan via Dubai.
Sir, now I want to check my passport because I am travelling to Dubai.

Is it safe to pass through the UAE airport transit if I am wanted in a case?

5
Q: Hi
I would like to ask a question.
A few years ago, the United Arab Emirates decided to issue an arrest warrant and have me deported back to the United Arab Emirates.
The case was taken up by the British court system, which stated that due to the fact that the United Arab Emirates has a very bad history and human rights, the British government did not send me back to the United Arab emirates.
Given this fact, does that mean that I can use the United Arab Emirates as a stopover at the airport while on the transit to Pakistan from London?

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

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.

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!
