Q: Hi, I used to work in the UAE for almost 9 years. Unfortunately, I got pregnant and flew back to my home country to give birth in 2019. Now I'm planning to visit the UAE again and hopefully, I can find a new job as well. Now my worries are, before leaving the UAE, I had a car loan from a Dubai bank in which my boyfriend is paying the monthly bill and using the car. Unfortunately, the pandemic happened, and wasn't able to pay for 8 months more I think. In February 2021, the police took the car and according to my boyfriend, they let someone use the car and just continue to pay. I'm still receiving the monthly bills in my email. What would be the effect if I applied for a tourist visa? I have an unpaid bill as well in Du (AED 1,800) and Etisalat (1,700) that I didn't use. Thanks!

Q: Someone has a police case of credit cards, loans and absconding, and then got a job offer but the visa cannot be issued because of the cases. Can he or she be entitled to get a new visa so he or she can manage to pay the dues?

Q: Hello Sir, I would like to move to Qatar very soon, however, I have credit card debts in the UAE. Please give an advice that I can move without settling credit card debts. If so, will I be arrested in other GCC countries due to the non-settlement of debts in UAE?

Q: Hi, Is it possible to make a visa for my husband as he has had a pending bank loan since 2018 and left Dubai without settling?

Q: Dear sir/madam, Would I get a visit visa to enter the UAE if I have a pending loan from a UAE bank?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, If we get an approved family tourist visa, can we still face any issues when entering Dubai? We have some unpaid bank debt from 2012.
