Hope you could give me an information if my travel history would affect my application for obtaining work permit:
June 2014- i arrived in UAE on employment visa
April 2015- i had a 10-day vacation in the Philippines
June 2016- i finished my contract and did not renew
July 12, 2016- employment visa cancelled (please note that i have a 30-day leeway to leave UAE so as not to overstay)
(I did not overstay in UAE)
August 8, 2016- went to Oman for exit using tourist visa. Stayed there for a week then
August 15, 2016- went back to UAE using a 90-day tourist visa
November 2016- went to Oman again for exit using tourist visa. Stayed there for a week
(No overstay for both UAE and Oman)
November 2016-went back to UAE using another 90-days tourist visa
December 2016- i found a job and they started processing my (nurse) license for them to provide me an employment visa after. This process usually takes 3 mos to finish. And my tourist visa will expire February 15,2017, and by that time, the license processing will not be fineshed yet.
February 2017- i went to Hong Kong for exit and stayed there for 5 days
February 2017- went back to UAE using tourist visa again
March 2017- my license is issued and my current employer issued me an employment visa
Please note that there is no overstaying or any immigration issues during those times.
Question: would this be a ground for working visa refusal?
Thank you in advance.
