I work closely with Immigration systems of UAE on Software development side. Following applies to you. - Once you get your new passport, then your passport number is changed, that means that UAE visa is not more valid for you. - There is no process in UAE immigration system to transfer the visit visa to new passport. However this can be done for residence/Empoyment visas (not applicable to you) - You can not get a new visa until the previous one is cancelled. Ask your visa sponsor to cancel the visa if you wish to obtain new visa before expiry of current visa. - Cancellation is not required if new visa is obtained after expiry of old visa
