Dubai, UAE

I have outstanding loans and credit card in Singapore banks. Can they sue me in the UAE?

I live in Dubai and I have outstanding loans and credit card debts with 5 different Singapore banks totaling about 500,000 AED (converted from SGD).

I do not have the means to make even the minimum payments.

If the banks in Singapore got a judgment against me and then come to the UAE court to enforce the judgment, what would happen to me?

To implement a state ruling in another state, there must be a judicial cooperation agreement between the two states.

There is no judicial cooperation agreement between the UAE and Singapore yet.

Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards
