kwammy5000: Ok, am new here and I've d post from page 1 up to here, its not easy at all but I got all d info I want about Dubai and Qatar.
Now I' m interested in Dubai but d problem I have is that I know no one there and I believe with this forum I can get info or contacts on how I can get accomodation, courses to study, jobs etc. But d most important is a reliable contacts in Dubai.
Experts, kindly asssit me and as u do God will continue to bless u.

ogakpatakpata: @kwammy5000.......................for your visa contact etihad airlines with this number 081 2911 2358 , 081291123 48, ask them for 1 month visit/tourist visa which is extendable in-case it expires before you secure a job, for accommodation once you secure your visa, any member of this forum can guide you on how to get a shared accommodation on arrival in the UAE, it is not a big deal, for jobs , like you said you have read through the thread, you will need to do proper networking+ put your ears down for walk-ins-interviews+ HOLD ENOUGH CASH BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT BECAUSE FOR SOME JOBS YOU WILL HAVE TO GREASE THE PALMS OF SOME HR's who are mostly Indians+ submit your Cv's to so many jobsites in the UAE,check the thread, we have posted so many+ believe in yourself and don't allow the negative/sad stories of others discourage you, we all have different STARS, DESTINIES & GLORY + pray to whatever you do believe in..............goodluck..

kwammy5000:
Thanks my broda, u've said it all but for shared accomodation, like how much do u think I can budget for one month also for jobs, like how much do I need to pay them to get one. Thanks soooo much.

ogakpatakpata: Depending on the number of people in the room, average per month is about $200, but, be ready to share with 8 or more guys in the apartment,but, if you want to share with few people in the apartment, you will pay more. For jobs, like l said before, l cannot fix any amount because l am not the one to employ you, hope you read what one of our forumites said 2days ago, he said his family members where asked to pay 2000dhs as settlement, in some cases you might pay more than that, it boils down to your middle man or link,but, please hold enough cash, if l am in your shoes, and l know l will settle with 2000dhs, l will hold either twice or thrice that amount to be on the safer side, UAE is damn expensive and once you are here, nobody is ready to help you when you are stranded, except by the grace of God.....................good luck.




Thanks house its been helpful, pls how much is 2000dhs in naira or dollars ?

@ kwammy5000
Good afternoon. Got ur mail but sorry, I don't really do private email anymore from this thread. Besides, I'm not in the best position to help on Dubai matters and whatever thing u wanted to discuss has been thrashed over and over by people on ground in the UAE. All the best.

gauche: Hello All!
I have been following this forum for a while as i intend to move to dubai to get a job. Please can anyone just hint at what job prospects could be like for a media graduate with an american degree?

secondly, I've heard of shared accommodation but around how much would it cost to share with just one female? or get a private room in a shared apartment?

thanks in advance!

Alec: Many thanks to all the people who have made this forum a success. There is something I am not sure of regarding visa extension. The fellow I spoke with on one of the airlines said they dont do visa extension. My question is can the visa be extended through the airlines - ethihad and emirates - if no how can it be extended? Is it advisable to apply for the visa online as they both airlines seem to have online facility to apply for visas

ogakpatakpata: @Alec............if it is a visit visa, yes it can be extended through the airlines here in Dubai if it expires, but , let them know you want the one you can extend when it expires in the UAE, yes you can apply online,but, tourist visa cannot be extended, although, sometimes the whole visa category get confusing because you will never see on their visa anything like VISIT VISA, what you see is TOURIST VISA, and it applies to both VISIT & TOURIST VISA'S RESPECTIVELY.......

Alec:

Thank you for your reply. Does that mean when applying for the visa online I can specify I need a visit visa rather than a tourist visa?

And also do I need to book hotel accommodation before applying for the visa? I know buying the flight ticket is compulsory

ogakpatakpata: Yes; the point is even if you specify you need a visit visa, when the visa is issued you will never see the word VISIT VISA, but, make sure you get the one that is extendable on arrival, that is the most important key because not all the visa's are extendable. You don't need to book hotel accommodation before applying for the visa, after the visa you can make either 5 or 7 days hotel reservations through this site. www.hrs.com,.................Which airline are you using for the visa application?....if you are using emirate airline, it comes to Dubai directly, but, for etihad it goes to Abu-Dhabi and all passengers will disembark from the flight to be conveyed to Dubai by bus, although, it is a free ride and it takes between 1.45mins to 2 hrs maximum.......................goodluck.

Alec:

Many thanks for your reply, the information has really been very helpful

How much will a self contained apartment in dubai cost for a month, sorry for all the questions

ogakpatakpata: @hugochris....................there are so many automoblie companies in the UAE; but, l will recommend this one for you AL-FUTTAIM and there website is www.afuturewithus.com, they are very good and one of the best in automobile business in the UAE, my organisation does business with them, they have good benefits/packages for there workers, l hope you get a job with them , you wont regret it, l also have some cameroonian engineers working with them, give them a trial, register through their jobsites and take it from there........goodluck..
