These info is from the joint.

Cnt go back to UAE though, was deported coz of Absconding case filed by sponsor due to 46 days n d joint, now am home but i still have 3 CC left n uae. No case was filed at the time of departure. So Forced to skip not by choice. Maybe they have filed by now. Not sure yet/

Now, I have a job offer in Qatar, managed to get new paspport as well, just worried if GCC coordination includes transfer of information among UAE banks and Qatar airport immigration officials. Is there any link?, there are sovereign juridiction concerns I think. This is tricky, information could appear in the system. Could this be possible?, d u hv info.

If it's more then you have to weigh up whether it's worth your while. An american acquaintance of mine skipped because he lost his job and life here and had nothing to go back to. He took as much credit as he could and left the country so that he could at least live for a few weeks back in the US while looking for a job.

I doubt you'd get jailed in the current environment unless you were stupid about it.

If you wanted to come back at some point in the future, get a new passport(renewed, lost etc)

Any one any ideas?
