Dentro, just because you haven't heard of a travel ban, please don't assume they don't exist. Companies, banks and even normal individuals can apply to the courts for a travel ban on someone. The travel ban is always issued if the applicant can prove that the person owes them money. Banks do this as a matter of routine now having learnt from the crash when they lost millions from people running away. Companies are not legally obliged to offer visas or medical insurance for spouses. My friend and her husband are not of Western origin and I would urge you to step outside your direct experience and try to understand that the experience of someone holding a non-western passport differs greatly from a westerner's. It's a fact. My friend is essentially an illegal now. There is no process for her to transfer onto her husbands visa. Her only option is to pay her debt and the fines and leave. My friends husband took a 60% paycut in accepting his current job because time was running out and he needed money urgently. His monthly salary equals what I spend on my monthly take-outs and grape. And I don't even eat or drink that much. So from that together with my earlier statement that his company has a strict policy on staff advances following their other previous staff having defaulted on loans, its clear that door is closed. Sorry if I sound defensive. But I have asked for nothing on this thread. Just information. And for someone to say the story stinks just because they don't understand how life works for many people here is really upsetting. My friend has something wrong with her heart valves. She was controlling it with meds but it has deteriorated. I'm sure they weren't saints. They buried their heads and froze not knowing what to do when they should have tried to negotiate with the banks sooner. However, people are people and they have foibles, fears and hope all of which makes us do stupid things. If anyone reading this has never done anything stupid that led to some sort of tragic outcome, then you're "cleaner" than I am. They have tied and are continuing to try to talk to the bank but nobody is listening. Can you imagine how scared and helpless they feel right now? Sorry for the long post and I appreciate that anyone here has a right to doubt anyone else's post. But doubting and casting aspersions are an easy way out and most people are worthier of much more than resorting to this level of behaviour. Do some research on travel bans etc before you speak because everything you say reflects on your character.

They're a private couple but I will mention the newspaper idea to them. Perhaps they will have to take a deep breath and do it. Any other ideas appreciated.
