I have been issued the Qatar Visa with my Old Passport Number. After applying for the visa, due to damage I changed my passport. Can I travel with the visa issued with old Passport NUMBER? Any one have similar experience.

Did you get your visa changed or did you go in with the same old visa and new passport

Visa has to be amended and reissued to reflect the new passport no. before travelling. (according to PRO)

My answer here to you is based on information that I know from a person who works in a VISA department in an embassy.

You should carry with you:

The VISA: for entry

The old passport: upon entry, they will need to verify that the VISA had been initially issued to an actual passport number.

The new passport: you definately need it as it has become your legal way of traveling after the first one was canceled due to damage I'm assuming.

This is typically generally the case, but I wouldn't know if they have different rules in the Qatari Airport. So double check on what I told you, it's no laughing matter to arrive at the airport and be denied entry.

Good Luck.

make sure you stick your old passport together with your new passport. My husband just did that ... As soon as you come back to Doha you need to to transfer your RP to the new passport.
