Traveling on a UAE work visa with an old passport number
12
I have a Dubai employment visa. My passport number on this visa has the ECR category, but I've now changed my passport to the ECNR category.
Will the immigration authorities allow me to travel? This is my first time visiting Dubai on my employment visa; I earlier used a visitor's visa on my ECR passport.

@Relaxed it's about entering UAE on a UAE work visa. It seems likely that a different set of regulations would then be triggered, which are better discussed on Expats.SE. If OP had a tourist visa it would be a different matter. Also, OP doesn't mention he's going to the UAE on vacation, so I presume he's traveling for work.

No worries. You can use your new passport. Make sure to bring both passports and show both to the immigration officer as you enter Dubai.
