Yes.

I appreciate your answer but I heard real stories telling me after the visa is canceled they stopped several for clearance of telecom at the airport.

And my telecom payment is due by the company which was taken by my name under their use and they stopped people for 20 Drhms 220 Drhms and so on and my payment due by the company is above 2k.

Please share a confirmed report so I can travel immediately. Your help will be much much appreciated and you will be life's savior as I'm really under big stress for ages.

For me, I see the last option is an outpass, I hope you understand.

It's different, if your travel is final without returning, all your debts must be completely liquidated first.

Or if you get another job and you will return, you can be zero without liquidating debts, communications, credit cards, and loans.

I understand your point, this is the reason I made a query.

Returning and not returning depends on the state of my visa. As of my research, if your visa has been canceled, you need to clear all debts.

And if the visa is not canceled, you can travel on government pending payments until there is some case by the government or private organization or individual on financial paybacks or proofs.

So I can't travel without clearing the debts of government sectors, right?

I believe the outpass is the best solution to get out of this mess that I never created, and the UAE is not the last country in this world as per my knowledge.

If no case has been registered against you, you can travel.

And how to check if there is no case or if I am being notified by any government authority of a case?

Because I've been emailed numerous times for recovery.

Is that a case or just a normal procedure from telecom?

Please send a copy of your Emirates ID via WhatsApp to check whether there are cases registered against you or not.

Dear Questioner,

Kindly note that you will not be able to travel if you have unpaid fines in the UAE. Please take note of your grace period after your visa cancellation.

Please contact us by informing us of your visa type to help you check if you have any grace period left or if you will be facing any fines.
