I have a Visit visa paper for Dubai entry but with my old passport number in it
I want to know if I still can enter Dubai with visit visa that is valid with my old passport?
But have my new passport along with it. My 'old' passport will expire May 17, 2017 and my new passport will be released February 1, 2017. The visit visa will expire on February 19, 2017.
