2nd Passport Application

[ThePlanner]

Has anyone had any experience applying for a second passport while overseas?

I am travelling more often and finding it extremely tight in obtaining the Visas in the passport while I am overseas.

Is having a 2nd passport in the UAE of any use? The reason being that if you wish to apply for a visa at a embassy / consulate then the passport has to have your UAE residence visa in it, or has this changed? I wouldn't want to travel out / into the UAE on a second passport especially if the e-gate system is not working.

No my main passport will always be used to travel to/from UAE

But when applying for Visas etc i still need to travel out of the UAE for other trips. So leaving the second passport at the embassy would be very useful for the visa application.
