Makan Makan in Dubai - Din Tai Fung Mall of Emirates

Din Fai Fung just open a branch at Dubai Mall of Emirates 3 months ago. It is jam pack with peoples.

Food price slightly more expensive but taste is pretty ok.

The menu are almost the same as in Singapore or Malaysia except the obvious no pork.. but for a Chinese restaurant at middle east I would say this is considerably good and affordable 

Tips in Qatar - MOI PCC

The process is available at MOI website under CEID section.

Only thing I want to share is you get the letter is at the at the same place where fingerprint is done at salwa road branch.

RP Application with new employer

If you have left Qatar earlier due to resignation and didn't manage to find a new job to transfer your RP and then you found a new job sometime later. Then here are some guidelines to apply for your new RP under your new employer.

By right individual do not need to know this steps and your company PRO would help you to do this. By the way information posted here are best to my knowledge and you are required to clarify this information for more accurate / updated information.

1) get your offer letter.

2) have your company issue a work visa for you to come in. You need NOC from your previous company. Is a must.

3) get medical check up. This process your PRO will bring you to the authorized health center.

4) under certain circumstances you may required to see higher rank officer information gathering at Al Gharafa Immigration Department.

4) submit all documents include NOC. NOC need to be submitted at Gate 1 Al Gharafa Immigration Department.

5) if you have RP before then you need to get old fingerprint remove. How? Ermm not sure but it is at the fingerprint center at salwa road and the officer will guide you the process. There is a possibility they may ask you to see CEID  which is just behind the place you do fingerprint and open from 7 am to 12 pm. CEID will tell you if you have any problem or incomplete document. If you have everything ready unlikely you need to go CEID.

I'm not sure if I left any steps behind but this is just some guide I'm sharing and more likely to be more useful for PRO.

As these things are done by PRO. In the case you have no one follow up the status please follow up the status with the relevant personnel every now and then.

In a normal situation it shouldn't take more than a month to get your new qid.
