Doing visa runs
So just got a new passport, and unfortunately after leaving my last company (they let me keep the visa open for 6 months) I have to come off it.
I am going home for 2 weeks next week and will have to come back and get a travel visa, so what do I do about via runs? Someone told me you have to get it stamped where you entered or something??

Re: Doing visa runs
You can use your old passport if the visa is still valid. Once your six months are over, you can get a 30 day visa upon arrival then pay Dhs500 at the Immigration Office to extend for another 30 days. If you do a search on here, you will find all the details.

the visa will run out in the next few weeks, thats the whole point. So I need to come in on my new visa with a travel stamp. And keep renewing it.

I'm freelancing, so aye doing ok, but obviosuly not as good as I was - just done a 96 page world cup guide thats going in all the ITP mags so thats good, and now doing a 120 page booklet thing for AHlan! would you believe.
Also got ripped off bigtime by some w*nker and then almost got sued by them as well, it leaves a nasty taste in the mouth I can tell you.

No reason for it at all - needless to say I'm not doing any work for them anymore so they now need to find a new designer who will do work as good as me (they loved the work) and as they were a new client and I was just starting up I went in really low with design fees - so when they do find someone no douby they will charge loads more than me, so in fact by screwing me out of AED 5k it will cost them 5 or 6 times that in the long run.
