Q: Hello Everyone, I’m new to this community and seeking support. In 2020, I had a 10K credit card from a bank. Due to COVID-19, I was unable to make the payment on time, resulting in the bank filing a criminal case against me in Nov 2020. I have recently managed to arrange the funds and settle the amount. I have received clearance and case release letters from the bank, confirming that the case has been released by Dubai police. However, despite this, I still find the case active on the Dubai police app. As I am no longer in the country and plan to travel soon, I am concerned about any potential issues with obtaining a visa. I have attempted to contact Dubai police multiple times via email, but have not received a response. Please advise on any potential visa issues and any alternative steps I can take to resolve this matter. Thank you.

Q: How can I lift the travel ban to go to my home country? The court judgment was for the company side. I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I don't have money. How can I remove the travel ban?

Q: Good day, We are waiting for the final decision of the pubic prosecutor from the headquarters.The police officer told us to wait for 2 days for the response but already 2 weeks still no response. There is a decision already made by the pubic prosecutor. In the police station and the office, they told us to wait for the final decision from the headquarters. Actually, we need to close the police case to remove the travel ban given to us, as the police officer put us a travel ban while the police case was still open and he can only remove when the police case is closed. No criminal case if it happened. What happens to the case if the public prosecutor (headquarters) did not respond to the request for the final decision?
