@uyigue, am in Qatar and I can categorically tell u that although there are jobs here but nigerians are the last on the list for white collar job except u are ready to be a security guard or a karwa taxi driver. And as per marrying Qatari citizen, well, even if u born 200 kids with her,none of ur kids can be Qatari and secondly,its easier to white lion than to see a Qatari marry u

wheew! it has taken me about a week to read from 0 to 296 and Am so happy for all the info. God go bless my ninja people well well. my mom tell me say we hail from auchi, edo state but I no step foot for ninja b4. God go com help me one dey. please I would like to ask the dubai incumbent, do you know any African teaching in dubai? Co's Am a professional teacher in Ghana and would like to know if it's possible for me to gain employment in Dubai. God less you all.

I av a friend in qatar crying to me that he is suffering in cheap labour but some are enjoying. Why uae is better than qatar is because uae have one of the best economy in the world.

Exactly, you find some struggling and some enjoyment. Thank you for the info.

DrDre1:
I've only 'passed through' UAE but from my interactions with people and from what I read here, I'd say cost of living is lower in Qatar. The difference might not be so much but it's lower sir.
As for ur second question, it does count very well as they are quite similar environments in more ways than one sir

Thank you for the info.

frostmate:
Thank you for the info.

U are welcomed sir

@Kelvin4Jesu
Thanks 4 not replying my mail. I may be out of line but ignoring me I dont think is the best. If its non-negotiable, the least you could do is tell me, c'est fini.

Hi house.. is it totally dangerous just 2 mk use of an agent 2 get a job in u.a.e...? Just asking though

kelvin4jesu:
Yes it is possible to teach in dubai in fact teaching jobs is one of the best paid job here and they like employing west Africans because of our lingua franca mostly ghanians,Nigeria etc
But attest ur certificate before comin so that you can pop ur collar

thank you very much oga. I've started applying online but I've also decided to come over and ty things out. Any advice as a brother?

Pls People who have travelled to Dubai before,
How do u verify if the Visa a travel agent secured for you is real or fake?
Can u verify it from the UAE Immigration website or something? Airline booking can easily be checked but visa how?

Harkynkunle: Hi house.. is it totally dangerous just 2 mk use of an agent 2 get a job in u.a.e...? Just asking though

How many times have we said it that you are OYO if you venture that part.

No one can get you a job here in the UAE. Do you even know if the Agent helping you has a job or na Teco him be. For him to be arranging employment visa for you.

Transact at your own risk.

Provide me your visa details let me check it for you.

Note: I cannot check Employment visa because you have to go to Immigrations physically but can help your check your visit visa online.

Basically, the only kind of job you can get through an agent is mostly menial labour. Also, those kind of jobs are usually accompanied with lots of hardship and are never guaranteed. You can loose it at any time. That is why we advise against using agents because they do not tell the truth.

Most times, they even lie about it. They promise to get you that job and abscond with your money.

Thanks alot sis....I really appreciate ur nice and swift response

Hello everyone,

To those still trying to send me private messages, please stop. I delete the notifications immediately I receive them. I know there are many undercover agents on this thread but I am not one of them. Also, we have mentioned many times that people should not send private messages so they don't end up getting scammed. The fact that I'm giving you advice here doesn't mean I cannot be a fraudulent agent. Please ask your questions here and I will answer them

Hmm...a word is enough for the wise they say.

kelvin4jesu:
Yes it is not a bad idea to come here yourself and search for a job but I don't buy the idea because it is fund consuming, energy sapping and most times time wasted so do proper research and underground work before you leave Nigeria.

advice well taken. Thanks a lot and may God bless you more!

hello nls......i need ur repli on diz....i've been given offer letter by my company. So i want ask you people dat how many weeks does it remain for dem to process d visa and what are d next steps to take

Hi house, pls is Dubai keen on age in employment? I mean do they have age limit or age preference especially for women? Right now I'm disturbed because someone advised me to cut down my age on my Int'l passport and now I realise its affecting my CV because I'm planning to go search for a job in Dubai. Also, can one get a 1 month extendable visa without a sponsor or is a sponsor compulsory? Please house I'l appreciate answers. Thank you all.

lol, you are funny. Well, I think the main issue is getting the Drivers License. This is very expensive and can be time consuming as well. Some companies will sponsor you but it will be easier to gain employment if you already have your U.A.E Driving license in that category.
