lionlee216:You can drive in UAE as long as you have been tested and issued a drivers licence which cost about #700k above but the thing is if you are not too conversant with the road signs and networks na fine you go day use your money pay everyday, and as per the 12hrs job no jokes about it and your break might not be more than 30mins depending on where you work. 30 Likes 1 Share |

@doitforyou Yea you get thrown in jail for some 3 months. You usually face ds reality at the point of exit at the airport. So maybe at that point in time they might just decide to let you go. In which case a life ban will be placed on you. And I'm sure you know what that means even for visa applications to other countries. But lets say the police busted you in a wrong situation like using the public transport and not logging in your card, then straight up to jail first, after 3months deportation, and then blacklist/ban 21 Likes |

Champagnemami:Oh ok, thanks. I thought you’ll be arrested and thrown into jail when you’re about to exit. Yeah, it’s same everywhere, you get held at a holding facility/detention until your deportation order is processed. Can you share your experiences teaching in Dubai? 11 Likes 3 Shares |

Larryfest: 700k as in Seven hundred thousand naira only for a DL? 30mins break for 12hrs job is too small.. Here for 8/10hrs jobs at factories, You get 2 15mins break and a lunch break of 30mins.. For other menial jobs(excluding factories), You get breaks and 1hr lunch. For 12hrs factory jobs, you get 3 15mins break and 30mins lunch.. How much does an average person save monthly on an a average job in UAE? I heard people snatch passports and use it to travel home? Wont immigration detect them OR Africans look alike to UAE people too? Can you be working at the same time schooling as to move up in career? Thanks 6 Likes 1 Share |

Champagnemami: Congrats, i would say you are a hustler & it's good to know women like you. I also studied at Middlesex for BSC. Most of my colleagues came back to Nigeria with no jobs & are even earning as low as 50k in 2014. I have since then been advising people not to travel to UK for studies as its a proper waste of time. I only feel since you studied nursing and its more lucrative and stable career path than teaching. I could be wrong tho. 32 Likes |

lionlee216:Many Americans and Europeans are moving to UAE to work because they make more money here than back home. Here there's no income tax and so many benefits like health insurance, house allowance, paid tickets, phone bill allowance, children school fees, car allowance or free company transportation etc One funny thing about UAE is that your passport sometimes determines your pay A Nigerian passport holder and American passport will be doing same job but will be getting different salary 65 Likes 4 Shares |

Going to hustle in Dubai comes with a lot of challenges. Be careful about where you house yourself. UAE is a land of bedbugs ![]() ![]() After three months of unsuccessful frantic effort to land a job in UAE, I returned to Nigeria with a load of bed bugs and their eggs hiding in every sewing edges of my suitcase without me knowing. Can you imagine bringing bedbugs on a plane with you? I declared a total war on my bedbug infested suitcase the very day I landed. The room where I stayed for the whole three months was an overcrowded room with a lot of double decker beds like a hostel with all their mattresses laden with bed bugs hiding in them. Although my visit to Dubai was never a waste because it eventually served as a travel experience for me in getting my US visa. Be warned!!! 136 Likes 13 Shares |

lionlee216:No future for those that overstayed, except there's an amnesty. Last year there was amnesty , they were given option to leave the country without fine or get a new 6 months visa to look for job No pathway to citizenship, even if you were born here still no show Dating an Emirati might lead you into trouble, so make I no answer that question shaa Your average savings depends on your salary & lifestyle. For me , I can decide to save all my salary in a month because I was given free accommodation, free transportation, medical, food, internet and postpaid phone .

Champagnemami: Getting 2years work permit with a specific company... Will the employer seize ur passport for the duration of your contract with them |
Re: My Experience Living And Working In The UAE by CptCharlesVane: 5:04pm On Dec 09, 2019 |
I strongly disagree. I think you trivialize what is going on concerning workers’ rights in some of these Arab countries by saying there is slavery everywhere. No, real slavery is right around you and you know it. There have been numerous NGOs set up with petitions stacked about this same issue. The people who haven’t gone home in Europe or America never want to leave in comparison and it is never because of an employer or some employment ‘contract’ with passport seized. Your agent and employer released your passport back to you but how would another person tell from their country of origin who would release or permanently hold on to theirs? Anyway, good luck with everything. Hope you are really as free as you make it seem. I’ll continue reading. Champagnemami: 13 Likes 4 Shares |
