I'd advise not coming, however diffiuclt it may be. Just tell your boss. Better than 6 months in a Dubai jail my friend.
No. I currently have two different UK passports. They are both different to my previous ones. It may depend on whether you renew the old one, or apply for a new one.

Pack several plain white tee shirts, plain white boxers and some clean flip flops. have lots of small notes on you and tell the guards you smoke so you can get out several times a day for some Fresh Air. The food is shit but you can get bread and cheese peices along with chrisps and mars bars. books are available and so are newspapers which they deliver everyday.

You should be OK but then again, if your name is not that common you could be flagged.

Enjoy

Mike

I am super stressed about it.

Thanks for any advice.

i wouldn't even try, unless of course you bring enough money to pay the debt! There will be no turning back if you do get arrested.

Easy to say. What was his name, when was it what was his pasport number. You are being far too gratuitous and emboldening yourself with your 'concierge' status. A passport has a name and a date of birth it is incredibly easy to match those fiels if you are looking for people.

I think you are wrong to promote risk taking to this extent nd immature to suggest it to others when no consequence will be to your personal detriment!

Bollocks. BC was passing on anecdotal facts. Anyone daft enough to risk their liberty on the comment of someone they don't know deserves what he or she gets.

On passport numbers.............

If you get a replacement for a lost one, it should have the same number (so authorities get alerted if your old one gets used again), but a new one (old one expired, no blank pages left, etc) it will have a new number.

At least, that was the rule a couple of years ago...........
