Can I enter the UAE without getting arrested if I have a pending credit card debt?

I left Dubai in 2017 with a credit card debt of AED 40,000 left due to illness. Since then, I've been attempting to negotiate a payment plan with the bank.

However, they consistently reject my offers and insist on full payment in one lump sum. I have repeatedly asked for documentation and proof of the debt but in the last 6 years, the bank has failed to provide any proof or documentation.

I check regularly and no police report has been filed against me. Recently, I was notified by the bank that they have lost my security cheque and therefore cannot file a police report. Is this true?

What implications does this have on my UAE status?

Can I safely enter the UAE without the risk of arrest?

Your question depends on the bank, and whether they have taken legal action or not.

Yes, I have already run these checks through a lawyer.

My question is as the bank won’t provide documentation proving the debt and they said they lost my security cheques, how can I settle this?

Did you get the case number?

If yes we can remove it for you completely from the system.

If there is nothing, you can come to the UAE safely.

Dear inquirer,

You must ensure thoroughly before coming to the country. The bank might have filed a case against you, or they might not have.

We can assist you in checking if there are any arrest warrants or pending cases against you before making travel arrangements directly.

Please contact us via WhatsApp or via email.
