Traveling with expired Schengen visa / Temp RP?

Can i get dubai visa on arrival if my rp is on expired/old passport?

  • hi, my old passport will expire in 4 months, and since it is mandatory for visa on arrival to have at least 6 months of validity on passport i am going to renew it on an 'urgent' case via my embassy. But unfortunately i won't have enough time to transfer my RP[resident permit/visa] to the new passport as i need to visit dubai urgently and the transfer process takes weeks. My question is can i travel with my rp on my old expired passport and my new passport? and will there be any trouble in getting a visa on arrival from the immigration if i carry 2 passports? Both my rp and passport will have the 6 month validity with it. if anyone can answer me quickly then i will appreiciate it! i am making my travel in less then 4 days from now! thanks p.s i am a GCC resident and an engg if anyone wanted to know.

  • Answer:

    Your resident visa will not be transferred to your new passport. As long as your resident visa is valid, you are suppose to carry 2 passports. The old one with the visa and the new one. When you will get a new visa it will be in your new passport and then you can return your old one or nail it on the wall:)) If travelling within the GCC as an GCC resident, you have to carry both passports. No problem.
