Leaving
 
I am planning on leaving Abu Dhabi after completing my present contract in the UAE. Has anyone got any advice or tips on the shipping, closing bank accounts, closing off employment contracts / visa's etc.

I would like to get everything sorted out properly as at some point I might want to come back.

Cheers :confused:

I can tell you about bank accounts - clear out your account but do not close it, otherwise they might sock you with 'account closure charges'

Good luck with your move!
