Q: To whom this may concern, I returned back to Australia after 10 years in Abu Dhabi in 2015. As I turn 18 this year in November, I plan on visiting friends who are in the UAE for about a month. I would like to travel with them around the country freely without any prosecution from local officials. My father had to leave the UAE in 2016 for health reasons and has unpaid debts in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically. I would like to know and have it in writing if I would be able to travel freely to the UAE at the end of the year and that I am not liable for my parents' debts/problems as I have no legal responsibilities for their actions. Kind regards.

Q: My father and his partner own a technical services LLC company and they went into losses. I used to help them out to get some contract on their name to grow the business. I am having my visa of real estate manager, but now my father and his partners are in the home country and somehow people have started calling me for some payoffs and recovery. What can be the way out as legally I have no rights in the company?

Q: My friend is planning to visit the UAE this coming August, however, she has hesitations that she might be held in immigration due to her father's debt 10 years ago. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Thank you

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, If a person had a business in Dubai and wound up the business, but some security cheques were in his name and bounced, would there be a travel ban on his passport? Additionally, would the visit of his son or family be affected or implicated in any way?
