Can I travel to Schengen country if I received Schengen tourist visa as a resident of UAE? But before travelling I have to cancel my UAE residency visa and I am not going to return to UAE.

A Schengen Visa is not invalidated when the applicant changes their residence country. There are eleven reasons given for revoking Schengen Visas, change of country of residence at is not listed as one of them. It is not a material change of circumstances.

REVOCATION OF AN ISSUED VISA

Legal basis: REGULATION (EC) No 810/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code), Article 34 and Annex VI - Pages 35 & 36

A visa shall be revoked where it becomes evident that the conditions for issuing it are no longer met.
