Changing Jobs - Visa Implications

[Dubai1]

Hi Tolkein,

For me it isn't a case of being prosecuted overseas, as granted - it would not be worth their while to persue me, more a case of wanting to leave on as good a terms as possible. I want to ensure that my record here is as clean as possible, the likelyhood of working back in the UAE in the VERY near future is high so I dont want to be oweing anyone anything or give anyone any chance to intefere in any way due to bad blood.

If there is one thingI have learned in my short time here, it is that things work differently over here and you have to accept that it is different, not right or wrong, just different.

In terms of you situation, I wouldnt worry about being prosecuted, rather having issues about obtaining your work permit or residency visa in another GCC country. However things are getting easier on this but I have no personal experience only what I have read.

The whole area (visas/work permits) is a mine field and everyone seems to have their own opinion/interpretation. I have managed to navigate my way through but only after lots of homework and considerable stress along the way

But onwards and upwords...... He who laughs last - laughs loudest
