henrimoto: igweeee, i greet! eyahh...! see how asorock 1 is happy dat he got a dubai visa just like dat. a little bit easy. no high payment of agent fee, no come 2day, no come 2morrow. ehh.... information is good ooo... @ asorock 1, we ( honourable cheifs and members of dis great palace) rejoice with u. once again, happy visa granted !

goodtalk: . My too cent, to make issues easy with nigerian officials at lagos airport be friendly not naieve and not afraid, dont tell them u are going for biz when u are just 22 yrs old they will not belive u, if u say u going for tourism they might want to see your pta or bta, so the best bet for young looking guys that are first time travllers just tell them you are going to see your seniour brother that works in dubai, he will pick u at t'he airport and u will stay all through with him for two weeks before u return home and try to look into their face while speacking without fear, that shud do it and pls always try to arrive very early for check in, its an important strategy cos if u come late when check in is closing in 30 minutes time it will increase t'he pressure and they may try to threaten u to part with bribe or u miss ur flight.dubai immigrations dont have much problems because u are already holding a valid visa, so all they might ask is t'he hotel u might be staying while u are in dubai, abeg scroll back on t'he thread u go see plenty names choose one wey u go tell them. Dats basically all. Also note people address u as they see you dress, pls as a first time travller dont go wearing plenty geans level, just put on a tie and suit and see the wonders it can do, bros i no watin i dey talk.cheers

Unfortunately, there is no DIY basis in this case as UAE dont have an embassy in Nigeria, and the only way to secure the VISA is through an agent. I made a similar post in NL here before I left and I came back uploading pictures. I sifted through a lot of offers before I finally arrived at the agent I wrote that you just deleted. What use is a Forum if not to share information.

You want a Visa, I am telling the readers how I got mine, and is a problem.

GemB: Hi Everyone,First i like to start by saying thank you to everyone contributing to ensuring the success of this site,both the guests and sharp monitors like Justwise and Ogakpatakpata.
I started following this trend when it was just 23 pages and i got all the info i needed and in less than 2 weeks i made arrangement to travel to to Dubai not knowing anyone besides God and the little knowledge i gathered from here.I have so much to say but i can't say it all in one day as i will do my best to update everyone here on my experience and how not to allow my brothers and sisters here fall into the hands of criminals and fruadstars because from what i have seen over 80% of people you meet here are basically after what they will get from you while your visa lasts and you eventually head back home without success.
I flew from Abuja to Lagos to catch the flight with Etihad on the 16th of May.First it was crazy with the customs since it was my first time travelling out.i won't say how much i spent so you don't laugh at me..hehehe(but incase you are travelling for the first time,ensure you have some naira or maybe smaller notes of dallars or you might end up sharing $50 at every point with the level of frustration you get).Ok i just summarized that.
Got to Abu Dhabi and straight with a bus they provided to thier office in Dubai.i picked a cab from there to Diera which cost me close to 60 dirhams(i don't know how the Taxi did that because with time i realised it could have been cheaper.beware of the indian/parkistan cab drivers.i think they might have developed a system to adjust or maybe continue from someone elses bill since you are ignorant).i was heading somewhere else(Blue Diamond hotel)until someone i met in the plane said we should go to Diera park hotel together.we got there and it was like Onitsha,Abba and another Lagos,Ibadan because everyone there was either speaking Ibgo or Yoruba and i said to myself this isn't what i want and i later discobered that where you will find all the fraudsters promising to get you a job and most don't even have one or even a valid visa(kali wali),abi na English you want talk?very poor that i was feeling bad that the Arabs might think Nigerians are all that local.Although them sef no sabi speak(same same).
I later setteled for another hotel(Africana Hotel)200Dirhams a night or 90 and 75 if you wish to stay with one person or two.Nice and new hotel as i was the first to occupy my room.I stayed alone a whole week(not saying you should do that too.its important you check your pocket first)while i was there,i was looking for a place to stay with the help of a guy i met at same Diera Park(lol he became my PA because everything i did within that week was table for 2 including water)i acted foolish because i was learning.He took me to a couple of places including the onse who claimed they were just 2 in the room but i wisely looked around and saw close to 6 blankets folded plus another 2 on the floor.some other place was a flat accupied buy some frudstars who kept saying bros forgeti work no de Dubai.(You will meet a lot of people like that but don't get discouraged because they are only telling you what they think tthey know.see yourself in a different way,know what you want and stand firm plus God/prayers no matter how little but with all sincerity).cut the story short i called someone who called someone who called someone and i ended up with someone in Sharjah.was told he was staying along too but after paying 700,negotiated to 600dirhams.We went to the house,nice place but some other couple just showed up from Ondo too and we became 4 in the room.wasn't ok at first especially living with people who can't differentiate between tomatoe ketchup and your normal tin tomatoe(yea for real they cooked soup with ketchup and still didn't know what it was until the soup tated sugary and they asked me if the tomatoe was spoilt or so..lol was very funny).
Aabout 2 weeks later through the help of someone we met,she secured a job as a cleaner with a five star hotel,exited to Kish and then moved into thier accomodation as usual,.yea she;s ok now.the Guy after much rejection for some reasons later secured a job too with an Auto shop(yea he's a mechanic and that's going to help him a lot).Someone else joined us after he left the room of 12 he was staying at Diera.Nice guy because we became really close after paying 3000 Dirhams each for a job together which later turned to be a scam.Don't worry i got my money back and don't ever get scared if you make sure you give any your money where he works plus you have his number as you can't buy a sim card without registering it with your passport.(Trust Nija maybe them don find way o but try to be wise and make sure you have a way to secure,check and balance your risk.The even staged an interview for us with a Chinese who promised to call but never did.wasted one week from my precious Visa.yeea precious Visa cos na money i take do am plus flight).
My friend got a job with a company and later got a better offer with a big travel agency a day after he signed a silly deal with a silly company because he Visa was almost running out after staying about 2 months.went back there and they refused to give him his passport because they claimed they already applied for his work Visa and didn't want to loose thier Quota(will explain that later).was a serious problem but trust Nigerians now.just how many weeks in Dubai we stood our ground,led to exchanging words and even trying to push my friend out.later they pleaded with him to exit to Kish while they tried to rectify the problem,probably get someone else and switch but that was thier trick.A lot of Nigerians are stuck and can't come back home for such crazy reasons.we agreed but surprising to them we took case to Labour(i learnt alot after speaking with people who really know and understand how things work)Somehow we won,they cancelled the Visa and he didn't get a ban from Labour like the company treatened.with the cancellation,the other company was able to apply a fresh visa for him.(Can explain more on this if you wish to know)
So so many things i want to say to help but i will just cut the story short and maybe help answer sensitive questions on accomodation,job update(fake or not i can ask around.with what i saw i know how most of them work.Classified News paper is almost not classified anymore as most of the number are linked to the same office somewhere around Abubakar Metro Station in Diera.yea heard they have helped a few but non tthat i have seen and so far i don help spoil thier market well well because tthe day they refunded part 350 from the 500 i gave them,i made sure i told everyone going in what happened and for real some left and the onse who already paid went back up to ask for refund.(All Arab speaking women probably Egypt or Syria maybe.)
I tried so many online application,yea worked for some but didn't work for me so i put my ears eyes down which is what you need when you get here.make sure you look at the person promising you a job before you follow him abeg.(Person wey no get food fit feed another person? msheew)
I got a good job.did and interview and exam with 6 people and they picked just one person from the performance.Although everyone scored good but i was lucky to do better.Its a free Zone job and i have a lot of time to play around too if i want.if you ask i will tell you how it happened.i know my story is getting too long and some are either enjoying or complaining right now but i promise to help in anyway i can as i got blessed with knowledge i needed from here.I no brag but honestly in just 6 weeks i don de explain some things to people wey don de here for more than 2 years.my brothers and sisters na wetin man get e de give so don't feel bad if you come here and people de offer you cleaning(house keeping jobs)na wetin dem get them de give.Move around,study people and ask questions if you find people that reason like you or even better.that's the only way to survive here.Same same Ngerians ae the onse making life difficult for those who are visiting.things have become really expensive because if they take you to any shop,they don't need to say anything to the owner,he already knows he is suppose to add thier share.everything including Agency for jobs.they all now know Nigerians pay huge anount for jobs and some HR even arrange to collect money.Very very bad.we should learn to be our borthoer's keeper.no matter the tribe,we are all one and all the money money money thing not caring what happens to your won't take you anywhere.lets all be sincere and live right so we can build a stronger bond.that's how we can fly high anywhere we go.
I no de go Kish abi na FIsh,Iraq or Kenya or anywhere close.This weekend i am coming back to Nija to see my family.really miss them and didn't plan to stay more than 4 weeks but i have soent about 6 already.you know the best part?i worked just 2 weeks and i got paid my full Salary.hehehehe.Don't get discourage,know what you want,plan on how to get it,pray so you don't go to UAE or any other part of the world while your blessing is actually in Nigeria waiting(Its nothing too big to do,you can if you can but you don't have praaaaaaay shouting tooooo much before God listens.just find a way to commune with him with all sincerity from your heart,work with signs and expect good results always.God no de send man go where e no fit provide for am.if he wants you there,somehow he will provide....
Didn't take time to read my message again sp pardon any mistake you see and concentrate on what you will learn from this short to some and looong to others story.Always available to help if you have any question...Please Kindly help me Delete the First One Justwise.
