All cities, UAE

Can I leave the country with a bank debt while I am changing jobs?

I have canceled my visa from my current employer and I am exiting the UAE, but I will come back to the UAE after 3 months on another employer visa.

So, do I have to clear the debts of all my credit cards before exiting or can I keep using it since I have to come back after 3 months?

Dear Client,

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

You are not required to clear your credit card debts before exiting the UAE, but it's essential to understand your legal obligations.

Any outstanding debts should be addressed to avoid accruing more interest and fees. Unresolved debt can negatively affect your credit score and may lead to legal consequences.

It's advisable to manage and repay your debts responsibly, especially if you plan to return to the UAE in the future.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards

Dear User,

We suggest you first contact the banks you are dealing with to inform them about your current situation and come to a mutual agreement to avoid any legal issues.

For example, you may agree to continue paying your debt from outside the country until you come back to the UAE.

If you don't have any default in payments, you may inform your bank in order to avoid future complications.
