Sharjah, UAE

Will I be arrested in Qatar if I have a pending rent case in the UAE?

Hello Mam.

Good day.

I have a Sharjah Muincipility case against me for rent of 18,000. The original rent was 6000, however, claim all 18,000 for the year.

He also claims to have issued an execution or warrant against me. I am here in my country and received a job offer in Qatar. A Qatari visa is issued as well.

Will I be arrested in Qatar and sent back to the UAE?

I am negotiating with the landlord and will close this issue as soon as I am on the job.

I would really appreciate your guidance on this.

Thanks,

A.

Dear questioner

The chances of being arrested in Qatar are low, the ban or arrest warrant is only in the UAE but not in any other GCC countries unless there is a GCC ban.

Also, GCC bans are not issued for such kind of matters. Please ensure while closing the case to obtain a clearance letter from the landlord at the time of settling.
