HI Qlers,

I have a UAE work visa which is expiring in September 2009, and my company has transfered my job to their branch in Doha. So now i also have Qatari work visa in my passport. Does anyone know about the process to cancel the UAE visa?

Thanks in Advane

Even if you have a valid residence permit from UAE, you can still acquire a residence visa in Qatar. Only that, your HR will have to probe that you have no intentions of residing on ANY of which BUT ONLY in Qatar. In short, as they stamp the Qatar visa-it means that you choose to reside in Qatar not in UAE.

The embassies will not deal to cancellation matters because it is the immigration who deals with expatriates.

Nonetheless, dont worry about it. Its not much big of deal. If you dont know someone from your company who can handle your passport with full dilegence and promise to return it on time. You'd rather ditch the UAE visa and pursue whatever Qatar visa you.

Normally none of the GCC countries would stamp a new visa in passport if you have existing visa from other GCC...and it might give you trouble while you travel in-between GCC's ...

Unfortunately you wont be able to cancel the UAE visa through Embassy, you will have to go back to UAE (or send it there, if you have your old PRO to handle) and cancel there itself. And come back to Doha with your existing visa..
