Returning to the UAE: the effect of mother's debts on the daughter

Dear sir/madam,

My friend wants to return to the UAE. She previously held a mother sponsorship visa in the UAE. However, her mother has outstanding loans/credit card debts and she is a supplementary cardholder.

In 2016, both their visas were canceled and they returned to the Philippines. Will this affect her chances of returning to the UAE? She did not sign anything for these loans or credit cards, as she is not the principal holder.

However, since her visa is sponsored by her mother, who is the debtor, and she holds a supplementary card, will this affect her? Or will it not because she has not signed anything?"

Dear questioner,

The crime is personal and the punishment is personal.

Thank you!

Does this mean that it will not affect my friend, as the loans and the principal card are not under her name or in any way linked to a joint account?

If the account is shared, as we have experienced, all documents must be viewed in order to answer the question accurately.

The account was not shared in any way, my friend is not a co-account/joint holder.

The only thing is she is a supplementary/extension cardholder of the credit card.

Hi.

What did you mean by supplementary card?

24 Jan 2023, 09:56

Extension card. The primary cardholder is the mother. But she got an extension card for my friend.

My friend did not sign anything. The extension credit card was just given to her

24 Jan 2023, 09:57

Was it given by her mom or the bank?

The bank offered an extension/supplementary card to the mom. The physical extension card has my friend's name.

But the original account for that extension card is the mom’s. No IDs and signatures were given by my friend.

It was just an extension so she can use the limit of the mom’s card even without the mom.

There is no effect on her if she has not been involved in this matter.

By the way, if she is planning to come, we can check her status.
