Kindly note that is now mandatory to attest your certificates or documents at the UAE embassy in Nigeria - ( located in Abuja)

Please note there are no shortcuts and the Ministry of foreign affairs will send you back for the UAE embassy attestation.

Plan ahead not to be frustrated.

Note: This also applies to people already working in Dubai even if you have worked for 3 to 5years or more, once you get a new job and your certificates were not attested with your previous company, then your employment visa application with the new company will automatically be rejected.


NEW UAE LAW Take note.

Just $500 BTA you don't have, then what are you going to dubai for?


Why do you want to stress yourself for nothing. You should have planned ahead and saved some money before even processing your visa.

Okay you don't have the least $500, where do you intend to stay, how will you feed, how do you transport yourself around. Or have you already concluded you won't be going back to Nigeria after your visa expires.

My dear your minimum BTA shouldn't be less than $1,000. If you don't have this readily in your pocket just don't sweat it.

Hi every one. Does any one have any reviews on sun and sands hotel, 37nth Street,Al Rigga Road,Clock Tower,Deira . The rates look good with roof top pool etc. But as we know the difference between a catalogue and reality can be by a mile. Other recommendations for a short stay partly business and part rest will be wellcome. Thanks.

I had everythnq planned even b4 I made payment 4my visa, but my biggest surprise was when I got denied, and my 2nd trial got same fate. I then told my frend not 2 worry abt it... but she felt bad aftr promisn me so mch and I cudnt even get d visa, and decided 2 cancel and reprocess all over again without telln me so as not 2 keep my hopes up..

Meanwhile, I had channel all d funds I had planned 4d trip 2 an "Asset Mgt Organisatn" for returns ovr a stipulated period of tym since d visa was alreadi denied twice..
Called my acct officer d same day my friend told me my visa was out and dat she had 2 add her own persnal funds and do it all ovr again without telling me,, but acct officer said refunds wunt be easy 4month into an acct I intend running 4a year.. So dats how I got my money tied up smwer and I dnt wna borrow..

Accomodation,feeding n transportation is gonna be handled by her, I. Know her far too well 2know she wunt default on all that... But how do I make those immigration guys buy "I av my bta on my master/visa card" decoy? Cuz dats wer I mit av problems based on what I've bin reading on here so far...
Thanks

If you don't have the bta then how do you intend to cope in Dubai?

We have said repeatedly that Dubai is a very very expensive city. are you relying on friends or relatives to support you here? there is no friend in Dubai o. Most people are hustling and saving up so don't think they will assist you. $500 is less that 2,000 AED sef

lol. that line got me rolling. If you were a girl I would have said "that is how human trafficking starts".

Please don't rely on anyone. Always have your own money!

Hahahahaha! U almost made me fall of d couch with d bolded. A gud thing I got d male gential hence,, I'd feel d same way if it was d opposite. lolz... But d frend in questn is a well cultured/mannered, trustworthy and ardent hijab'ite lady, if u undrstand wat I mean..

And I'm quite synonymous with dubai and d trust issues drama,, but she can be highly trusted... So I'm not afraid..

Pls guru in the house , I ve discussed with an agent who want to arrange my visa and he charged 60K for one month and I told him I need 2months because am coming to hunt for job but the agent said they don't issue two month visa to Nigerians again. My question is it possible for me to secure job (even if is menial) within one month of that visa validity because I don't want to be deported, am about committing my life savings on this journey

Obviously you haven't read through the thread if not you will not be asking these questions.

1. It doesn't matter if you are Nigerian or Chinese. Nothing like 2 months visa again. Either 1 month or 3 months

2. No one can guarantee you anything. previously it was very easy to get menial jobs as a last resort but now, there are hundreds of people roaming the streets looking for such menial jobs and they can't find it. Some even search for 3 months and get nothing.

3. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT commit your life savings to making a trip that is not guaranteed to be fruitful. What happens if you don't get a job? do you want to become an illegal migrant? they deport people everyday so don't ruin your chances of ever coming to this part of the world by becoming an illegal migrant.

. Pls is it possible for me to extend the one month visa after expiration? What is percentage of me getting something to do when I arrive, I mean any kind of Job just for me to have the required experience, I have driver's licence and intending to process international driver's licence before I leave. Thanking u in anticipation of ur swift response

It is no longer possible to extend the one month visa. that is why many people prefer getting the 3 months visa.

Like I already said, no one can guarantee that you will get a job. Only those coming it with employment visas are sure they have a job when they arrive (assuming its not a problematic job they will want to run away from or a scam). please don't ask me how to get employment visa

On this issue of experience, what kind of job to you aspire to get after a few years? because you can't expect to move on to a managerial or professional job and think that having experience as a laborer or security guard will count.

When we say they want GCC experience, we refer to relevant experience in the same or similar work field.

Do you want to rent or buy a car when you arrive? why do you feel you need an international drivers license?

vikyno:


kk
Please, How many days did it take you to do it?

Do one has to go to the ministry of education first, then to foreign affairs and ending it at UAE embassy ?

3days...Yeah..Make sure you do it before Friday, cuz @UAE embassy closes very early

Thanks Sister I appreciate ur kind gesture, but what do u advice I do now because I have concluded my plan on coming to hunt for Job, I was planing to relocate to SA few months back that was why I resigned from where I was working, I even applied for Sa visa through an agent, due to the negligence of the agent the visa was denied and she promised to reapply before I changed my plan to process UAE. Do u advice I should not come with that one month visa, because the agent said that is the only one he could possibly secure for me.

If you still want to come, No probs...Just be prepared for anything.


Point1. Getting a Job here is not that easy.
Point 2. Depending on the kinda job u get determines your pay.

Point 3: Cost of living here is soo high.

Think through

Honestly I can't tell you what to do. Some people come and get good jobs within 2 weeks sef and some leave with nothing. Just pray well and commit your journey to God. Ask him for direction and trust that he will bless you with your heart desires.

Thanks sister and God bless u abundantly, I am trying to make contact that can possibly help in securing Job when I arrive, but I still have one question, considering the type of Job, though am a graduate but am ready to take any kind of job for a start for me to know places and make better connection, can 200k be fairly enough for me for the period of Job hunting, I don't mind sharing bed space OOO because I am not coming for holiday neither to enjoy, am coming for serious business, am practical doing nothing here presently. I will appreciate ur quick response as I need to make a decision now
