Visa to be cancelled, leaving Dubai......
Have been terminated recently and my employer wants to cancel my visa. Have a loan with a bank and owe money on credit cards, have been paying the instalments regularly with no default. Now have an opportunity to get a job out side the UAE. If I have my visa cancelled and want to leave would I be stopped at the air port, I intend to repay the loan from overseas. Any comments/help?

Get out of the country NOW and once safe at home, call your bank and tell them you intend to continue payment from overseas. Make the payments from overseas.
Just get out of the country NOW.

Re: Visa to be cancelled, leaving Dubai......
Thanks for your comments. Not sure if you mean I should get out now with my visa cancelled or not, since if I cancel I could be stopped at the point of exit (apparantly they run a check against your financial status now at DXB whent departing, so I've been told) and if I leave without cacellation I could be considerd as absconding by my ex-employer. Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, don't know what route to choose.

Does it also raise suspicion if you depart on a 1 way ticket?

The status check was claimed by my bank clerk, to say that the immigration computers are now linked to the central bank and your name will pop up if you owe money. I am not sure how true it is and could well be a rumour to scare people off. good point I'd buy a retun ticket just incase.

You wont be stopped at any port unless someone has gone to court and the court has imposed a travel ban.
Thats what I have been told anyway.
Then you need special contacts to sneak you out via Oman.

I too will let everyone know what happens with me. I have a loan and trying not to let the bank find out that I dont have a job. My visa is not yet cancelled and im planning on leaving the country before they cancel it.
