Good day Everyone,

Could someone help with the information below concerning Dubai visa.

1) How does someone below the age restriction apply without having to go along with relatives ? Get a good and well connected Tour agency in the UAE to apply for your visa for you (although its like the restrictions have been relaxed.)

2) How long does it take for Dubai visa processing for 2 weeks visa ? Anytime from 2 days to 1 week. Maybe more, maybe less

3) I have an appointment with a company in dubai, sort of an invitation letter, wont be staying more than a week, only that i am below the age (40). Does this invitation letter help in anyway ? No it doesn't unless you are applying for your Visa through Emirates or any of the licensed hotels

4) Are there exceptions concerning the age rule for people coming to dubai for engagements like exams, meetings which wouldn't last long ? Don't forget that the age restriction is not a fixed law per se. You will not find any official documents restricting visas for Nigerians issued by the Government (at least I haven't seen any). So since there is no fixed law there can be no exception

5). From my research, i heard you have to go through agents to apply, is this true ? How about going through to the embassy to apply by yourself. Embassies cannot issue visas. You apply either through a tour agency, hotel (usually 5 & 4 star hotels) or local sponsorship ( I believe U.A.E residents who are not locals can also sponsor visas if they meet certain criteria)

6) Can someone recommend GENUINE agencies in Nigeria used to apply for Dubai visa. Its is against the rule of the forum to advertise or recommend such, so even if I know of any I cannot say. However some people have posted information of some agencies they used so search the thread.

7) What major documents would someone in my condition (only going for a week for an appointment on invitation) need to apply for Dubai visa. Again it depends on who is sponsoring you. Emirates has a lengthy list of requirements which has been posted above. Tour agencies are usually ok with just a copy of your passport

Please bear with the lengthy questions and kindly advice on the above .

monchouchou:
Thank You.

Justwise


Please reply asap so I can remove this

Might not be able to confirm this visa status but..
1 Down on the visa you will see your sponsor name and phone number, you can call them straight up to confirm
2. There is usually a duration of when you can be granted entry with a UAE visa... Your "Visa" said it was issued November, 2014 and this is like 5 months ago...
I strongly suspect this Visa is fake...

nattybanta:
it's either a fake or has expired, cos 601/2014 is no longer on the database.

just got my 1 month visa! guys this work visa of a thing how does it work? does securing a work visa automatically translate to permanent residency?

Party stuffs on 30th..after salary has been paid...no excuses monchouchou, justi4jesu...favoured234

monchouchou:


Congrats. Now pray you are able to get a good job during that 1 month period. Yes a work visa gives you the right to "reside" in the UAE but you must realize that unlike other countries where a permanent residency visa entitles you to live and work anywhere you like in the country (most times for life if you meet other requirements), that is not the case in these gulf countries because if a company sponsors you, as is the case with work visas, you are tied to that company. If you leave the company and cannot get another sponsor within a period of I think 1month after your visa is canceled, you will have to leave the country or become a fugitive.

This is another thing people sponsored by their family (spouse or parent) enjoy as they can leave any job without fear of deportation.

Goodluck to you!
