Initially I was sent a tourist visa by my sponsor company in Dubai as they wanted me to settle down first. After my arrival on 24th February 2014, they initiated the process to sponsor my employment. I received an Employment Entry Permit (red paper visa) on 6th of March 2014 with a validity period of 30 days. However, in order for me to have the 2 year employment visa stamped on my passport, I had to provide the 30 day entry permit containing an entry stamp by UAE immigration. As I was already inside the UAE and had previously entered on a tourist visa, therefore, in order to have the employment permit stamped by the UAE immigration, I had to exit the country and re-enter. Thus, my sponsor booked flights for me to and from the nearest country, which is Qatar. I took a flight out of UAE on the evening of 23rd March 2014 and returned, without exiting the Qatar airport (hence no immigration stamps from Qatar), during the early hours of 24th March 2014 and had my employment entry permit stamped.
My passport contains stamps of exit from UAE on 23 March 2014 and entry in to UAE on 24 March 2014.
1. Is an explanation letter sufficient to address this?
2. How should I enter it in travel history?
