I've never heard of any such cases and unless we're talking many millions there's a pretty good chance no international search warrant will be issued. But be sure to pay off your loan once you have the opportunity to do so because these kinds of situations have a habit of coming back to haunt people at some stage.

Not likely to be an issue but UAE banks (Only UAE, no one else in the GCC does this) are notorious for issuing Interpol red alerts for debtors.聽 Even Interpol has complained because you are not supposed to be doing that.聽聽So just keep that point in mind - it is usually for larger amounts.
