nattybanta:
Thanks a lot. I would be on my way to abj to attest d documents on monday. I hope I won't have a problem since all my certificates are laminated and also is the nysc certificate necessary too?

You are always welcome. Safe journey and you wouldnt have any problem with your laminated documents, all they would do is just to tear/scratch off a part on the back of the documents and sign on them with a seal.

They know almost everyone laminates their documents, so they have a way around it. Thats not an issue.

Safe journey on your trip.

It depends on what you are looking for, tailor your application in line with your qualification, by this l mean, if you have WAEC or NECO certificate,you cannot be applying for jobs meant for Degree holders or those with professional certificates, from what l have seen here in the UAE, with your WAEC/NECO certificate you should be prepared for low payed jobs like house keeping,security, child minder (nanny), concierge, factory workers, construction workers, some Degree holders are also looking for those kind of jobs, so you can imagine how competitive it will be compared to you coming with a high school certificate.

lastly, although, you might be lucky to secure a white collar job, but, it might be hard for you because that is the same jobs Europeans, North Americans, Asians, Middle Eastern nationalities are also looking for,it is very competitive, so all those nationalities do have an edge over you from Africa,but, if you are from Africa and schooled abroad, then you will be treated like those from the Western world by virtue of your qualifications, again, like l do say, some people seem to have mother luck that follows them, so it is possible to secure those jobs as an African with your high school certificate.

Take your time and read backwards, by the time you reach the last page of this thread, you will know how to process your visa to the UAE.

ok i will. But the money worth like how much? Pls am really sory

owolabi101: ok i will. But the money worth like how much? Pls am really sory

.

1. Ticket is from 115,000 naira, depending on the day/week/ month of your departure from Nigeria.

2. Visa is from $100 official price ( but due to corruption Etihad, Emirates and other tour agencies might charge you more than that).

3. It was suggested that you hold a minimum of $2000 when coming to the UAE to avoid been stranded here, everything is expensive here( food, accommodation, brown envelop issues that you might deal with, transportation and other expenses before you secure a job).

4. Do the maths yourself.

5. Take your time to read the thread, it will help you or else, you will make mistakes.

Goodluck

@hugochris.....................a forumite ask a similar question few weeks ago and this was my honest opinions/advise to him based on what l have seen in the UAE as a result of my wide interactions with different people, maybe you/your cousin and others can learn one or two things from it, l might as well call it a simple manual for those heading to the UAE to have at the back of their mind, it is on page 192 of this thread:



1. Arrive with enough cash minimum recommended/suggested on this forum is $2000 due to the extreme challenges you will deal with on arrival, the UAE is very expensive.

2. Prepare your CV in a simplified form, and enumerate all your skills,competencies, qualifications & experiences

3. Start submitting and posting them to different job portals in the UAE on or before arrival

4. liaise with sincere / honest Nigerians in the UAE on or before arrival

5. Dont come to the UAE with over the board expectations, that is dont expect when you arrive with your WAEC /NECO certificate you will be offered a job as a bank manager.

6. If you have a good job in Nigeria, don't just jump into the next available flight heading to the UAE and expect to get a fantastic job on arrival

7. If you desperately desire to leave Nigeria to work in the UAE,it is advisable you arrive during your vacation, scan around for jobs, compare/contrast and see if you can face all the competition and drama in the UAE.

8. As a fresh graduate from Nigeria with or without experience, be prepared to start with a low payed job.

9. Be prepared to face stiff competition in the UAE with the rest of the world.

10. Whatever qualifications you got from Nigeria, be prepared to see and compete with similar or better qualifications from different parts of the globe in the UAE.

11. If you are patient enough, you might climb your career ladder fast.

12. Dont arrive and be looking for white collar jobs alone, think outside the box, by this l mean don't arrive the UAE and expect to be employed immediately as a cashier, receptionist, administrative positions, accountant, Engineer, bank manager, customer service executive, medical professional etc, some of those jobs requires some kind of upgrading / bridging /new certifications obtained in the UAE to enable you stand a chance of been employed, again, most of the white collar jobs are also what Americans,Europeans,Asians, Middle Eastern countries are looking for, so it is damn competitive and it takes a big miracle to be considered for those positions, although, not impossible.

13. If you are business inclined and you are smart, you will break even within a short time in the UAE, so you can add business with your job.

14. Dont forget to network with the big and master of all networkers " GOD ALMIGHTY ""

This are my honest and personal opinions based on what l have seen here in the UAE.

Enjoy your day.


Notice: a quick addition to what l listed above, l recalled my Cameroonian friend, his cousin arrived a month ago as a qualified automobile engineer with years of experience, the summary of what happened to him,was that of all the companies that tested him,none was ready to pay him more than between 2,500 to 3,000 AED,he was looking for something better,but, as l write today, he is back to his home country, his visa expired after 60days search for a fantastic job.

@samee72

@philindukwe.

Thanks for your kind words. Wishing both of you all the luck/favour of the new month.Cheers.
