Hi roadrunner200, I am also in the process of transferring my residence permit to my new passport. I also got a new nationality. My husband (my sponsor) went to the Immigration in Al Gharraga and was told to provide NOC from the previous nationality. They said no need the NOC from the embassy of the new passport. So I went to my former embassy and got the NOC. As far as I know, you will be needing the NOC together with the filled-up form (change of nationality) and copies of the old and new passports. We submitted all the paper works last week and told to come back in 2 weeks. You will be given a receipt that they have received the documents. By the way, the form must be filled-up and signed by your sponsor. Regards
