Procedure
For UAE residents holding bank accounts, it is possible to obtain cheque books directly from the bank. However, it’s important to note that banks in Dubai do not provide cheque books to offshore companies or non-resident account holders. In most cases, non-residents are only allowed to open Savings Accounts and not Current Accounts in Dubai-based banks. While non-residents cannot acquire checkbooks, they are typically issued debit cards to facilitate cash withdrawals.
