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

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!

Its all a complete pain in the arse!!! But good luck with your move - by the way don't use GAC!!

What is GAC?

Here in Doha ... where hubby works ... if u resign you have to get the letter from the national library saying that you don't borrow any book for them.

Goodnite x

PS: Early merry xmas for you and Jack and TS and your daughter (Just in case i did not see u till christmas).

GAC is an international movers and they are simply crap!!
That is just plain stupid...needing to prove that you have not borrowed a book, waht ever next but that said the utility companys in the uae do nto know their arse form thier elbow!!

Thanks Novi, we have almost completed the xmas shopping and Jack has just go over chicken pox... Bless him... You have a great one to if I dont get to chat to you on line though Im sure that I shall. x
