Anyone closed out their Provident fund recently?
So if in a moment of weakness and/or boyish abandon you have stayed here for a couple of decades your A and B are about a million USD altogether. You have two options to get your hands on it once you are punted off the property:
-have them give it you with your final check in dirhams and you trot it down to Mashreq (!) and say "here my fine, trustworthy and efficient chappy, please do send this off to my home country error free as this sum represents a dream or two for my future". This is uncomfortable.
-have them instruct the Trustees to forward the money to you which, hand on heart, they say will arrive in the account of your choosing 3-5 weeks after you get your haggard corpse out of the UAE. This is uncomfortable.
Any recent evacuees willing to comment on which option they chose?
