HILCROWN:


You old or new laptop

Your passport photograph (to reduce cost ni o)

Don't forget your international passport too

You cannot carry Palm oil or vegetable oil but I was lucky, I brought vegetable oil.

You don't need too much clothes, just bring cloth for interviews and normal clothes except you won dey go visit tourist destination

Bring your "cover-cloth" because of AC

You also need a cross-bag or handbag to move around with your CV

Come with any documents that proves you worked in any organisation. You can get any from business centre (you understand naw). In my own case, I presented my IT letter. (Though is not compulsory o). NonnyG might remember what am trying to say here.

In your CV, always put AVAILABLE ON REQUEST on the reference part. Your company might Decides to call any of the number you provided. And also know about the company you worked or claimed to work. (You sopos understand my poor English as I dey write.) After passing the interview and the interviewer promised me, they will get back to me in 3days. They called me on phone for 1hour to ask questions about the company I claimed to have worked as if na big money dem won dey pay me oo.

Please don't have one CV, have as many as possible. When you enter, you go understand better. Pressure of getting work as soon possible go dey, fear of "kalas visa go dey". In my own case, after paying 700AED for accommodation for the first month, the internet was disconnected because of debt. My guys decided not to pay because they have where to go and browse. I had to plead with them and paid 300AED to reduced our room payment.

Second month, I paid 920AED because of one thing or the other but signed a contract that month when I looked at my pocket and I no won sleep staircase.

Before my employment visa could come out, payment for the third month is before me, I had to plead with #23k Ieft in my Nigeria account. I made him understand I still have to pay for OMAN ticket (520aed). I left the place 2days after my visa-exchange.

Please go for hepatitis test before coming o. One Pakistani guy was cancelled and sent back home 5days ago. Nothing will do you my brother.

Be careful with all cab drivers, the driver that took me from back of Sahara centre to Jumeriah went away with my handbag containing HARD CURRENCY, replaceable and inreplaceable items. I called RTA to give them my pick-up point and drop-off point and amount paid, after some hours the reply by text that the driver said no bag found in his car. How I survived the first month at work is only by the grace of God.

Lastly, keep your passport oooooo. I take the God you are serving beg you. You no go dey stranded for foreign land o. Nigeria embassy dey useless here o.

Let me share a testimony here. A friend went for interview with his passport at hand, on getting back home. He couldn't find his passport, he was destabilized, went to police station to report. He pasted lost passport on all the walls. Few days later, he got offer letter. He signed the offer letter without informing the HR or the admin officer about the latest news. When the time for him to submit his passport for proper documentation, he broke the bad news to the admin officer because of his level of understanding.

To cut long story short, how his passport developed wings from Al-nadha to Abu-Dhabi remains unknown till today. The Admin Officer drove him to ABDhabi, pleaded with the claimed founder of the passport with 2300AED.

Keep your passport oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

NONNYG:



If possible bring like 16 copies of passport with white background, cos passport is very expensive here, 8 copies is more than 2k in my hood, the passport i use for my CV na my guy use his phone snap me o, na so i do copy & paste. It was when my companied needed 12 copies I had to go photo studio.


Bring a supporting document as a prove of ur previous place of work, before my visa was processed, the HR where I work sent a mail to the company I claimed to have worked with in Nigeria, asking for my position, my salary, reason for leaving and any possibility of employing me back if need be. No be small matter.


Do all the required test b4 applying for visa, cos once your schedule for medical is booked, to sleep be wahala. I know of one 9ja girl dat was sent home cos she didn't pass medical, wat a pity, she's my very good friend and her salary is above 200k with free food, transportation & accommodation.

Lastly ur passport, guide it as if ur life depends on it, when i landed in UAE, I spent 2 days in Diera, I wanted to swallow my passport o, to make sure it's safe.

kelval:
thanks.. am good bro.. and you?

kelval:
the major reason am so scared of taking and risking the 3 months tourist visa is, like seriously am not really good at scouting jobs, i am always scared of faces, i dont like seeing faces so i hardly go out.. i finished my nd since 2014 and since then i never for once try to get a job.. i am not sure if i can deal with these if i should just head to dubai all by myself to scout for jobs.. am not really sure if that 3 months will be enough for me.. thats why am really trying to patiently get an employment visa.

lovere:
For intending Nigerians who are coming to Dubai this is a typical bed space that you will be charged $200. So prepare ur mind for the worst case scenario.
