What to do if you cannot pay the fine of bounced cheque

Hi.

I have an issue. My passport is with the police due to a case. I couldn't pay the fine and now again my friend requested to schedule a new public prosecution request.

However, my family also arrived with residence entry but I couldn't do the stamping since I lost my job. Now, I am jobless and trying to get a new job, but my family is with me.

No visa stamp is done after one month has passed. I don't have money to pay my fine.

Please give the best advice on what to do. I am out of money. If I get a job, I don't know how I can give my passport to the new employer.

Please help me.

Dear Mr Sherif,

It is a loan case. The total cheque was AED 55000. They ordered 5000 fine. I gave my passport for kafala.

After EID, there will be a public prosecution. Also, my family visa not stamped yet, almost 1 month passed.

The issue is that I don't have money to pay all fines. My employer is asking for my passport to cancel the visa.

Thank you for your help.

I'm so sorry to hear about the situation you are currently facing.

Actually, you do need to pay the fine or at least try to submit a request for making the fine payment on instalments.

May GOD be with you in that.

Can I do as an instalment? What do I have to do for that? I am willing to pay, insha'Allah.

If I go to the court, will they do that and release my passport?

Maybe. It is all subject to their sole discretion.

Good luck.
