Q: I took a loan of 60000 and a credit card from a bank in 2014. Due to the loss of my job, I left the UAE without paying it.
Now I received a job offer from Kuwait. Will there be an issue if I travel to Kuwait and the bank files a case against me in the UAE?

Traveling to a GCC country while there is an unpaid loan in the UAE
24
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: Dear Sir/Madam,
In 2018, I lost my job and returned to Sri Lanka. However, I did not settle my bank loan.
Recently, while checking my Emirates ID online, I discovered that a case had been filed against me with the police.
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?

If someone has a case in the UAE, can they travel to another GCC country? 2
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!

مطالبة المحكمة بانتداب خبير آخر لإخلال الأول بضوابط الخبرة 1
السلام عليكم،
في محاكم دبي بعد قيام الخبير المنتدب بتسليم تقريره للمحكمة وبعد يوم عمل فقط، قامت المحكمة بسداد أمانة الخبرة للخبير، لكن المدعي يرغب في تقديم شكوى ضده ومطالبة المحكمة بانتداب خبير آخر لإخلاله بضوابط الخبرة.
هل بإمكان المدعي فعل ذلك رغم استلام الخبير مستحقاته المادية؟
وهل عادة المحكمة أن تصرف مستحقات الخبير بمجرد تسليمه للتقرير دون انتظار أي تعقيب من أي طرف خصوصًا أن موعد الجلسة القادمة لم يأتِ بعد؟
