Credit card case and possibility of a travel ban
Q: Dear Sir, I am a Dubai resident. I didn`t pay my credit cards outstanding amount from last December 2018 onwards. Actually one of my friends took from my card these amounts and he told me he will return back, but he cheated me. Now he told me he will sell his land in India and give me back. But I want to know what are the legal problems which will come to me because I have to go to my home country (India) in August 2019 for my brother`s marriage. Everyday the bank people are calling and threatening me. I want to know if I will go to prison and all because my family is staying with me in the UAE. And please tell me if the court calls me, how much fine do I have to pay? I will mention my outstanding amounts below: Bank 1-45000, Bank 2 -24000, Bank 3 -10000. Will there be any travel ban?

Obligation to pay the visa costs in case of early resignation
Q: Hello Sir, I have received an offer letter from a non-profit organisation in Abu Dhabi, UAE working with the UAE government for environment conservation. They are offering a 12 months limited contract and I will need to reimburse them for visa, medical and medical insurance costs if I resign before the contract expiry, even if I serve a one-month notice. My questions are: 1. Being a government entity, are they legally permitted to demand/deduct visa, medical and insurance costs from an employee? I know the labour law prohibits it. 2. I am expecting another job offer in 2-3 days time but this organisation wants me to respond to the offer ASAP. If I accept this offer now (dont submit any ID/ passport documents), can I inform them afterwards that I am not going forward with this offer? Are there any legal implications? Questions & Answers
