Gooci:


Thanks, but is the figure really 250aed

monchouchou:


It's possible. I don't know what Al Ahli charges. Check their website to get the accurate figure

monchouchou:


Please I'm just giving you my personal opinion. You don't have to change all you plans because of that as some people come this period and still end up not having jobs while some come during the middle of the year and get jobs almost immediately

Hectorray:



u:ll right monchouchou thanks........but this new immigration law of 1month n ten days is it extentdable

abuyuunus:

If you fail, you will have to register with your driving school for at least 7 more classes and get a new road-test date.

justi4jesu:

Hectorray:



pls hw do i go abt the attestation in nigeria nd what will it cost me to do that?.....thanks..

1. you visit the federal ministry of education at Abuja, It's gonna cost you about 1500 per document there.

2. Federal ministry of foreign affairs, It's adjacent to ministry of education, you can get your documents done at 2k per document if you wanna collect it that day.

3 the last port of call is UAE embassy, It's $30 per document here.

onyenro:

there has been a ban since that Ebola scare.

DrDre1:

The 'ban' isn't a ban in real terms and it had nothing to do with the ebola outbreak. Many people (including) have been traveling to and fro during and after the ebola thing without any drama linked to it. They only reduced the issuance of fresh visas or make the procedure more difficult. It's a mix-bag of so many things which isn't easy to explain in simple terms mostly.

@ Gooci
My honest advice is consider ur options very well. Getting a driving license isn't a walk in the park in these parts. If u want to venture into it as a fresh person, make sure u have a solid financial backing from Nigeria without much pressure especially in these era of the dollar taking the naira to the cleaners. The pressure of studying and focusing on the training itself is enough. Adding the anxiety/worry of finance to it may affect u negatively. Don't forget that there's no assurance that the person will get it on first attempt even after spending so much. Which ever u look at it, I can assure u that u will spend over 200k naira on the project. Wish u all the best in whatever decision u take

Read backwards.

Gooci:
Hello house.... Pls I need a urgent response. Av been asking for how to go about dubai taxi for som times now. I had to option to choose either driving or security job.
Like I said on this thread before, a friend of mine is already there since december, undergoing the driving school, he's about to do parking test and final road test. So far, he has spent up to 200k on feeding, accommodation nd driving skool etc
There would be a huge pressure on me to pass this training skool from home, cuz I will still be dependent on them @ home for money. I am thinking of switching to security so that I can start work immediately wen I get to dubai.. Mayb later wen m settled nd used to the system, I can now do d training skool on my own with less of pressure on me.

Or wot do you guys think
@justie4jesu @monchouchou @everyone

Or I should jst head for d driving str8 away...

monchouchou:



Hmn Gooci, sorry but none of us can make that decision for you. The thing is this, taxi drivers earn more than security guards as the average take home pay for most drivers is about 5k while most security guards earn at most about 2k. But then again, accommodation and feeding is usually provided for security guards while I believe taxi drivers have to fend for themselves. As I am sure you have discovered on this thread, accommodation is usually a big headache in Dubai so thats a big advantage for security guards (regardless of how bad their accommodation usually is)

Then again, as far as I am concerned, 200k is very small when it comes to getting a driving license. DrDre1 wasn't exaggerating when he said you will likely spend more than that…..

Just take your time and make sure you are fully prepared before making a decision. Dubai is not a place you want to run out of cash in. I wish you the best
