Will you be arrested if you enter Dubai and have a bounced cheque under the new law?

No, it means they will arrest you once you come to Dubai unless you submit a request to the public prosecution in this regard and the warrant of arrest is lifted.

Dear R. M.,

The new law decriminalizing the cheques does not apply to all categories of bounced cheques.

It depends on whether you issued it while your account was closed (bad intention) or whether the cheque was bounced due to insufficient funds... etc.
