welcome to the emirates chineloSASA

I am back. You people are enjoying ooo. I went to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Very well developed, these Arabs know how to use their petrodollar.

The only problem is, things are a bit expensive than in Saudi Arabia. I spent so much on transportation and food. And one wonders how because their currencies are equal,or maybe Emiratis are not subsidises??
And it seems like you people pay so much on accommodation.

The upside is people seem much happier than in Saudi
Few pics that I took.

monchouchou:

Fine o, we thank God.

i can see that..
Stay cool sis...

Thanks a million my dear for your incisive explanation.I am really grateful.this my no: 08062546510.

HI Veleta, i dont have contacts per se, i know doctors working in dubai. Your very best bet would be to get a visit visa and come here and apply. drop your CV in all the hospitals and polyclinics and wait.Getting a job by applying via email is harder now, because there are many who have passed the exam who live close by (indians and Pakistanis) and generally i think the hospitals here prefer live interview seeing who they would want to employ as opposed to a skype interview. My family had been here but i was in naija because i had a job with UN and didnt want to leave, after passing haad i tried doing the email application thing, most of the clinics said i should contact them when i can come to UAE. The ones who interviewed me were offering very low salaries since they knew i was out of the country and would want a job before leaving.

however, before you come you can still give it a try and check the popular websites with uae jobs like indeed and joblistuae. I belong to a telegram group sha that has plenty ppl who passed dha and are living and working there, you can send me a message with your number and i would add you if you have telegram app, that way you can ask questions in the group directly. HOpe this helped

Hello everybody,
My little contributions goes
thus:
for Dubai holidays-get to
any of the airlines or
agents, the visa is just 200
USD. I usually go with QATAR
Airlines and i have never
sked them for hotel
accommodation. deira is
where the shopping is and
hotels around that place are
btw 120 and 150 dhrs which
is abt N6,000 to N7,500.
for the person with 350k,
you can get visa for 32k,
flight for 125k, hotel for 5
days at 6k per night is 30k,
total of N187k. you will have
only abt N170k which is
about 1,000 usd for
shopping and transport.
most of the things you want
to buy are there in deira but
if you want designers, you
go to city center where the
malls are. there is also
nigerian restaurant there in
deira, so you would not miss
home. the popular gold sou
is also in deira.
for Qatar holidays and
working visas--you can
make enquiries at qatar
airline and it is just for 14
days and it cost just 100Qrh
which is about N5,500. but
for the work permit, you
need to go through a
sponsor who will do all your
papers over there and right
from Nigeria, you are going
with your work permit OR a
company, who will also
process your work permit
and send to you and you are
going with all your
documents intact from
Nigeria. pls shine your eyes
abt these so called agents.
what most of them do is to
get the visiting visas for
you on the pretext that
when you get there, they
process your work permits
and when you get there,they
become incommunicado. you
cannot get through to their
numbers again. so you would
have spent about N400K to
N500K on a visa that would
ordinarily cost you 100 qrh,
about N5,500. I rest my
case.

thanks so much

what about doing a masters program there?
in Dhabi

nattybanta:
ok let's do it this way; frm ur earlier message, shows u already know the whole process, why not give us yours den someone else would make some additions or corrections division of Labour

but sir you will be in the best position to do that thanks

monchouchou:


1. It will be hard for a group of people from the forum to come together and rent a room or whatever because of the issue of trust. Not everyone here is why they claim to be and there are many fraudsters. Also, the rules of the forum (and past experience) frown on backyard communication.

2. Not all employers give accommodation. And sometimes it is even better to collect allowance and sort yourself out.

3. The reason this thread is this long is because people keep asking the same questions and people keep repeating the same answers. Its a life changing decision that you are about to make. Taking a few days to read through will bless you with so much knowledge rather than the rushed answers someone can type in their free time.

okay sir i understand you thanks

u can have a master's in UAE if and only if u have about 9million naira @ ur disposal. Buh university of dubai is d cheapest which would cost u about 1.2million for tuition

My oga at the tops will answer that. Cc justi4jesu, natty and mouncho.

Not worth it. Even the employers here value UK, US and Canada certificates more than those issued in the country. Also, you cant really work and study like that and you get no residence permit after your studies.

Hi guys, I landed on Monday(4.30am)... I entered via terminal 2, everything was fine until I got outside the airport and I asked myself "who placed this dubai on fire that its so hot like this"

Before boarding, I had issue with immi officer despite holding an employment visa. I shha gave her 3k(naira) bfor she allowed me pass. Infact, I almost missed my flight, I was d last to board. The plane was actually waiting for me, because my luggage was with them, but I hadn't boarded, so they looking for d last passenger up nd down.

Funny enuff, wen d immigration madam freed me, I forgot to stamp my passport, I was about boarding wen d last immigration officer check my pali nd no stamp. @ this point, this immigration officer(man) and some Rwanda plane guys started helping me o, they delayed d flight for anoda 5mins, this immigration man rushed to help me stamp, my (shoes, belt, laptop) were in my hands nd I started running to catch my flight o.(Imagine, my trouser was already dropping because no belt was there)

Twas when I got inside that they brought my boarding passes to me, I had thrown them away while running. Infact, make I stop there, no be small thing oo

Rwanda airline is cool, I love it.

Now in dubai, am in Abuhail currently, av visited my my company, av collected temporary Id card, waiting for first test and interview call. This dubai taxi no be beans o, I will give all my best shha.

We are about 5 Nigerians, am heading to stage1, 3people on stage 2, 1person of stage 3(road test).

We are looking for house o, our landlord don pursue us comot for aoz.

, phew! I think your first post on the new thread should be a summary of the whole process from getting visas, flight tickets, to looking for accommodation, how to prepare an acceptable CV, networking, job searching, visa change, enjoying life in dubai, tourists spots, etc. Justi I have given you work

Meanwhile, I feel sad anytime I see some of the CV's of job seekers. I'm not saying lie on your cv, but at least make it presentable and highlight your selling points.

I'm thinking of making that my own small contribution to the thread - reviewing the CV's of those coming for job search for free but I don't want that to be abused or for someone to wake up one day and accuse me of being an agent .

I'm sooooo waiting for you to do this, waiting for that tinge to make my CV more presentable....

Gocci welcome to Dubai, wish you God's best in your training.

The trouble is that if CVs are posted here, even with personal information removed
there are some people who will just copy them for their own use or to sell.

Be carefull what you put on a public website!
