I currently have a travel ban in the UAE. Is there any legal way to leave the country while the travel ban is active, or a way to temporarily lift it? Has anyone been through this before and knows what steps I should take?
I’m dealing with a financial situation in the UAE and I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I have 7 bounced cheques, and the total amount involved is around AED 600,000. I also have 2 or 3 credit cards that are completely maxed out, with total credit limits of around AED 600,000.
This has been going on for around 2 to 3 years. I currently have a travel ban, and the banks and other people I owe money to are still contacting and messaging me regarding the outstanding credit and payments.
I’m looking for someone who has been through a similar situation in the UAE and can explain what options I have. I want to understand whether there is a way to negotiate with the banks, arrange a payment plan, settle the debts, or deal with the bounced cheques and travel ban properly.
I’m not asking anyone for money. I just need genuine advice from someone who understands UAE debt and bounced cheque cases and can tell me what steps I should take next.
I have 3 credit cards backed by fixed deposits, but I don’t have a salary. I also have an AECB credit score, but I’m unable to get any regular credit cards.
Does anyone know what options I have or how I can become eligible for a credit card without a salary? Any advice would be appreciated.
