Blacklisted in Dubai: How to lift the travel ban to get an employment visa?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am currently in Dubai on a visit visa and have been searching for a job for the past eight months.
Recently, I found out that a bank has filed a civil case against me due to a bounced check, which has resulted in a travel ban and blacklisting.
Because of the blacklisting, I am unable to obtain an employment visa, and this is not helping both myself and the bank in terms of repaying the outstanding amount.
Is there any way to remove the blacklisting so that I can obtain an employment visa and start repaying the outstanding amount in installments?
Thanks!
Dear questioner,
Unfortunately, legally speaking, there are no options available. You need to settle the matter with the bank.
Hi,
You will have to contact the bank and inform them about your present situation.
Let them know that you intend to pay the amount and that can only be possible if you find a job for which they should withdraw the case. They might agree on this.
