Hi, there may be a helpful answer of your querry,
Unpaid personal loans or credit card debt (even if it's from a UAE bank) are considered civil cases, not criminal offenses under international law.
Interpol is usually involved only for serious criminal charges (like fraud, human trafficking, terrorism, etc.) — not for consumer debt.
So, unless your bank in UAE converted the case into a criminal case for fraud (which is rare unless fake documents were used), Interpol will not be involved.
Some UAE emirates allow people to check police cases online using passport number:
Dubai Police: https://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae
Navigate to: Criminal Status of Financial Cases
You can use your Emirates ID number or passport number
Abu Dhabi Judicial Department: https://www.adjd.gov.ae
Note: You may need a UAE mobile number or login credentials in some cases.
If there’s an active police case or travel ban filed by the bank:
You may be detained at immigration upon arrival in the UAE
Or denied entry altogether
But if no case is filed, then re-entry may be allowed (though risky without checking first).
For proper assistance we need more details thanks.
