UAE residents with unsettled bills can now clear their dues at the immigration counter of Dubai Airport and leave the country, weekly tabloid XPRESS reported on Thursday.
The new electronic 'pay as you go' service launched by Dubai Court with the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA), in cooperation with Dubai Police and Emirates NBD, allows residents to clear any financial claims against them at the immigration counter, before boarding the flight, the report said.
When a passenger with a travel ban approaches the counter, the officer issues a letter with the outstanding amount. The passenger is then sent to the bank’s counter at the airport, along with the case file number, where the amount can be paid.
The payment details are then matched at the immigration counter. Once the verification is made, the payment receipt is sent to Dubai Police, who lift the travel ban, allowing the person to board the flight, the report said.
