Just to say with hindsight, my son was able to get the exit pass at the airport, hours before departure. He was told that there would be a charge of AED120 but the immigration at the airport said there is no charge. He was also able to get the exit pass at Dubai Airport even though som immigration staff on the phone told him he would need to apply in AD. Just goes to show that the immigration system has no set rules and even the staff are confused. We were sent things by email which some immigration staff were challenging saying its not true. How stressful is all this!
Leaving Dubai on the 19/2, was advised by AMER to come and apply 6 days before departure. My son has just been and was told that he needs to apply from Abu Dhabi as his residency visa was issued there. My son lives in Dubai and works in AD. However this visa has now been cancelled and they are still insisting on us going there to get the exit pass. Has anyone experienced this ridiculous procedure before. What shall we do, time is running out and we are desperate to get this sorted.
yes you have to go to where your visa is issued to cancel it... always been the case and always will be..... dxb and auh immigration are 2 separate places.
