HELLO guys it was indeed a successful journey. my flight was scheduled to depart from abuja at 01:10 PM. I was at the the airport before 9am to make sure i escape and settle all the hurdles before boarding. with me are my clothes and food stuffs ( my regret was not parking lots of naija food stuffs before boarding). i passed through first security check: no problem encountered. on getting to the second check point i was stopped by customs personnel. They asked me to declare what was on me i told them it was my clothes,laptop and some food stuff. The man said i should open the bag for manual checking. "Why you wan delay my journey naa?" i boldly told him jokingly. He now directed me to agriculture section( i guess) where i was made to pay N1,500 ( receipted). on getting to where they weighed my bag it was discovered thet it was in excess, i was made to buy Ghana must go bag at ridiculous price of N1,000 to reduce excess luggage and N1000 for wrapping of the bag to protect it from damaging.Now the the immigration, The woman who was in charge sked me what was my mission to dubai,i told her i am going for vacation,she asked for visa i showed her, she asked for hotel reservation i showed her, she asked for BTA( i was only having $200 with me) i showed her three atm cards in my wallet. she was kind of insisting i show her $1,000 Bta. i now told her " Who get that kind of money for this buhari government?" They all laughed and began to demand for soft drink money. i gave them N500 and they stamped my passport. Thats all. The rest na stress free till i boarded the flight. Here in dubai no immigration hasssles just follow the instructions you will not have problem. Now the Job Hunt begins!!!

so far so good I MUST say it was kind of easy for me here in dubai as i have a brother/friend who made it easy for me to come and pick me at the airport at 4 am this morning and has been entertaining me with foods and drinks (Isi Ekwensu.

Just as your trip went easy and smooth, God will make your job hunt easy and less stressful for you in Jesus name, your journey just begun, we're all behind you, enjoy your stay

And Note, its not only @ d airport that your visa can be confirm, lots of pple on this thread hav confirmed their visas with the help of our gurus here, Justi, Natty and d likes, so relax.

Justi I greet you oo, we are all moving to the permanent site, cheers

ALAYORMII:
Advice needed fellow NLanders


I met a guy on BBM and we started talking about visa to Dubai (employment visa) and he promised to get Mii a job with Mii paying him 450k but I have to pay an advance of 150k before he can start the process but after much discussion he agreed to do it for Mii with my promise to pay him after the visa is out.


He said I can only confirm the genuineness of the visa at the airport, and am not comfortable with such arrangements cos if the visa turn out to be fake then there's nothing I can do again cos he would have gotten his own money.


My questions now is

Is there a way I can confirm the visa apart from the airport??

Is there a way I can confirm the job too??


I need enlightenment on the general process

Yes, there are other ways,
Contact Justi4jesu, Nattybanta and other gurus here, they can help you in confirming the visa. They'll tell you if its employment or tourist visa.

If you need enlightenment you can take ur time to read thru dis thread, you'll get a lot of information from it, tks.

ayodejihabeeb:
really need urgent answer, my flight to dubai is less than 24 hrs, i just notice that there is something called ok to board in which i didnt have, how can i go about this

Who processed the visa, was it an agent? is it employment or tourist visa? If its employment then the company should have sent you the OTB,
If its an agent, then I guess you'll have to ask the agent about it,
please gurus in the house attend to this guy, tks

Good Morning all, i just took out time to go through the thread from the first page. presently am on page 65,i must confess that this thread is an encyclopaedia of all you need to know about Dubai. I observed that my visa was issued in al shajira and not in Dubai thus, i cannot check it online through Dubai visa online platform as its number started with 301 and has al shajira.
I just have two questions,the visa has 26th July 2016 as the date of issuance and it is a 90-day tourist visa. Someone informed me that the visa will become void if i did not enter Dubai within one month of issuance. is this true? Also,is it true that the 90 days validity will start counting from the day i entered Dubai.

Its true the visa starts counting frm the day you arrive UAE

LEOSIRSIR:
I support that idea but every one have different stories to share and some people might not want to mention the good bad and ugly experience they passed through only those with success stories come back here to say something
I hope people on the thread should emulate this so that it will help others who are intending to try their own luck.

I totally agree with you bro, especially wen your story is nothing to write home about, it takes courage to share your experience. But one thing we should all remember is that, if nobody had shared their experiences here this thread wouldn't have lasted this long and so many people would have fallen in2 wrong hands too

Getting offers for a job is npt the problem, the problem arises when they want you to come over to their office to negotiate the terms only for you to tell them you are still in Nigeria.

They will just lock up.

You have the solution already, get your visit visa, go there in person, then you can easily negotiate on any offers you get

Mehn this ur question, I was calmed as my tipical self until I saw those uniform men with riots of stars on their shoulders, my neck buckled instantly, I paid only 4k after about 3 minutes of persuasion. It was amazing that everybody I ever met said a prayer for me...I was finally in, seated at the boarding room, I called madam to not worry I'm passed. It was my first time of boarding a plan, so as we were taken off a slight scream fell from my lips, that was how the babe beside me got know I be newbie

It was fun brother

Lolz, now you are talking. You're really a funny dude. Hav just been laughing since I read this post, nice one bro

Make una please respond o

What are you booking?

xage:


Judgemental and parochial

I did my visa in June,I bought my ticket in June....from your judgeFord dictionary, dollar only skyrocketed yesterday


See i'm not a terrestrial poster on this tread if you check my history, probably this is the 5th post of mine, how else do I figure a financial predator

Am not interested in your being a terrestrial poster or whatever, you should just be careful of what you say about people on this thread. It could be really damaging if your claims are not true.
Your manner of approach to issues isn't too ok.

Let's forget about all these issues bro.
CONGRATULATIONS on your miraculous job, it seems you've been quitely reading thru d thread all this while. So give us your gist on your encounter with the immigration officers, ur first days in UAE, your job hunting, and evry other useful info that might help others on this thread, guys re waiting to hear your story bro

[quote author=xage post=47215902]Did my visa for 185k and flew Egypt air with only 115k booking only 4 days ahead..Halimacurve the agent you gave my number called me but the price he gave was too high for sharjah..I'm fine now anyways

Before you process visa do your homework and get a reliable person...also as per flight, cheapest is always Egypt air on Wakanow

However, I must warn that getting a job in Dubai is not as easy as painted by some folks here...but if you are looking for a place where prayers are answered fastest, then come to Dubai...my job was a miracle, do not pay anybody for job be warned

You want to do ur passport and get it the same day or next day without stress, just go to Abeokuta n pay 27k...so easy...

It is better you get a job before coming.... The economy is not as philanthropical as it used to be or as it appears from the other side

@ Xage
I hate such things with passion, it is people like you that makes the likes of Justi4jesu, Monchouchou... not to render helping hand to fellow nairalanders.

Som1 you were talking to about accomodation, you came here and was almost tarnishing her image on this platform, it is highly uncalled for, unacceptable.

Pls Halima, don't stop the did good work of yours, I join the others to plead with yhu, its just one of those things,

As for the tickets, Guys, he said he did it long ago before this is enquiry wit Halima so let's say he did it before the devaluation of the naira, so due to the high value of the dollar, one would have to pay more than expected

As for Int'l passport, you can do it any state of your choice, abuja abt 25k, lagos abt 25k-26k, I did mine in warri for 27k, its your choice

What's happening here, why all this blocked messages here

jayooh:
Good evening all, pls has anyone secured the Nigerian Intl passport by doing it yourself via the online platform in Nigeria? If yes, how long did it take? Thanks

International Passport online? Have never heard of such before. It can only be done in passport office in your state, mostly the state capital

Godiloveu:
Hello house,
Pls provide info on cheapest airline to Dubai, at range 150k-170k
Hotel at 4k-6k
(Btw Aug-oct 2016)

Brother, you should just google it and search yourself, wakanow.com and the likes as regards cheapest flight ticket, airline.

Halimacurves:
That's not how legitimate job agencies in uae work. A real job agency like Allen&York will not ask you for any money because if they recommend you to a company they get paid by the company..not the job seeker. Unfortunately you met with dubious people. Infact to be honest I don't think going to so called job agencies is the best thing because it really takes a while for agencies to actually find a position for you. In UAE the best mode to get a job is to search by yourself and apply direct to companies rather than paying someone to get you a job. Unfortunately alot of people will still make this mistake over and over again. Now you don't have to exit to Nigeria if your 3 months visa expires...you can renew a further 3 months after your initial 3 months expires....so please everyone. ..plan well...the system here in UAE is improving daily...

Woah, this is great news ooo, no cause for alarm then. Thank you aunty Halima for the info

isaacputi:




Ok thanks but what about my primary school certificate?

Am in Owo town in. Ondo state, am planning to go to abuja though I don't have anybody there...please how do I complete the authentication with a day or two?

For Your authentication in abuja, you should plan to do evrytin for at least a week, coz you hav to do it in 3 places, you could read some pages back to get all the info.
If you don't have anybody there then you should go there yourself, probably stay in a hotel and get evrytin done

Mehn I finally finished the whole of part1 of this thread, the way I just dey read am like say I dey do my thesis, lol. anybody wen read all d content of this thread suppose be professor for UAE ooo, lolz

jpride:
@Frank Pls which of those visa free countries in the caribbeans will you advice a fellow struggling Nigerian to consider? Pls I wil appreciate your advice cos naija is dying right now

Please ooo, don't condemn our dear country with your tongue, let's still try to speak positively even in difficult circumstances, all is well bro

HILCROWN:
Thank you all the ogas. Is out

Is good to have patience ooo. If I had asked for the reference some hours ago. I would have caused some Issue for myself. But join me celebrate. I pray the good LORD will perfect his good works in my life and every hustlers.

God has answered your prayers, patience is key, start preparing ur bag nd baggages, God will perfect what he has started in ur life, AMEN

HILCROWN:


Gurus, please answer this question ooooo... Am on my kneels o

Calm down bro, am sure they'll come around nd attend to the question, just relax bro, it's well

Halimacurves:
That's what some agents say.

@ Hilcrown, I thought there's a way som1 can check if a visa is being processed for you probably by using ur passport no. to check, gurus in d house is it possible? Thanks
