Is it possible to travel to GCC and work if you have a pending loan in the UAE?

I lost my job in 2009 when I was working in the UAE so I have an unpaid bank loan and credit cards outstanding.

So can I work and travel to other GCC countries?

Please advise.

Thanks.

You will be arrested. It is better first to examine your situation in the Emirates and whether it was generalized in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries or not.

Dear, Querist

Unfortunately, you are unable to travel to other GCC countries. What is the loan value, if there is an active case?

Please contact us for more information.

Thanks

The loan amount is less than AED 50000 but I guess its interest is calculated and may be a big amount.

How can I solve this problem?

Dear,

We can negotiate a settlement with the bank.

Also, in terms of travel, we can conduct a status check in the GCC.
