How important is it to cancel your existing work visa or residence permit in Qatar inorder to make sure that there are no hassles in getting a residence permit/work visa in any of other GCC countries ??

to clear you up, you need to resign from your work and the company will terminate your contract, then your visa will be cancelled. You can just return for work in Qatar after 2yrs. but anytime you can come to visit but not can't work.

frankly speaking you need to cancel your visa before leaving qatar if you will be working in GCC country. you will have a big/tremendous problem in other GCC country if your RP is not cancelled here in qatar as it happened to my friend. he went back to abu dhabi at his own expenses just to have his visa cancelled before he was able to obtain visa in qatar. no problem if you will not be working in other GCC country.

Thanks for the feedback, however the question is can you move to another GCC country while your RP is still valid for Qatar ?? I have been getting mixed responses from the people i know so confused !!

GCC is independent from each other politically.

Not much...It is only important if you want to come back here after 2 years..if you are going to other countries it doesn't matter...unless you have a legal/criminal case here.
