It is difficult to say.

If it was only credit card debt of a low amount, I would say no issue.  Larger amounts are more problematic as UAE banks have been known to abuse interpol reporting by issuing red notices for bounced cheques and unpaid debt. 

But you have been arrested and deported for a suspected theft case.  So basically that means, a criminal case was registered against you which led to jail and then a deportation order.  Criminal records are generally shared among GCC countries and on visa issuance, they check the security database. 

So in all likelihood, you might not even get a visa - suggest to try and see.

hi Xtang,

The new company got a visa under my name. So does it mean I didn't have any record since you were saying that gcc countries shared related criminal records?

Anyway, I don't want to admit that I did such criminal offense and besides the court ordered for my release after 1 month in the jail.

After my released the police station holds my passport and said they needed it to clean my name in the system but after a month and came back to take it, they hold me and deported. Never knew what was really their intention.

I moved on by way. Just sharing my experience and might help to somebody in the future with the same case.

That's good if you got a visa.  This means that your record was not serious enough to be put on the GCC level.  In that case, I wouldn't worry.
