Leaving Qatar Unactivated Credit Cards
Hello Everyone!
I recently applied for Doha bank credit card but a week after filing my application for credit card I got a job in KSA and decided to leave Qatar. I called the Doha bank representative to cancel my application but he told me that the application has already been processed. A few days back i received a call from Doha bank that my cards are ready and they wanted to know where can they send them, on my office or home address. I told them i ll collect the cards from the bank. Then the next day I received a call from Qatar post that they have a package from Doha bank for me.
I want to know do I need to cancel my credit cards for the final exit because I have not activated them. I have talked with my payroll department they told me that they won't be sending my salary to the Doha bank account so the bank cannot retain any funds. They also told me that if I don't collect the cards I don't need to cancel them. I want to know if I don't cancel the cards will there be a problem in my final exit from Qatar? I just have one week left, please advise if anyone knows about this.
The bank account is also a new one with zero balance.
Also the cards are now with Qatar post, does that mean I have collected them from the bank?
Not activate card. Don't worry. Just go.
when we are leaving Qatar, we need to clear and close our bank accounts, whether it is active or not. same goes also if your are driving and you have a traffic violations needs to be settled. or even if you borrow a money form your friend(maybe he filed a case on you). you need to be sure that you are really cleared to leave. so just go to the bank and closed it. its better to be sure than you have a unrest feeling while queuing at immigration gate.
There are possibly two ways to handle this situation. Just allow the cards to lie with Q-Post and after some time they will get returned to the bank by Q-Post itself. Secondly, you can collect the cards and then return them to the bank accompanied by a letter from you which the bank signs confirming you have returned to cards to them. This would allow you to have proof in your hands the cards were returned to the bank.
They may black mail you that you have already signed on so many places without reading the application bundle of papers .................................................................
