What happened? Why are the comments hidden?


I'm really enjoying the drama too

The comments are hidden cos MOD is present in the building

But to be honest, without the little side comments and sometimes exchange of words...the thread will be boring. Continues taking popcorn and looks up to see Agarawu smiling.

Agarawu..care for some popcorn ?

Please people here if you are lazy please don't come to UAE in search of a job. If you have high taste please don't come here in search of jobs...if you think UAE is a get rich quick scheme you will fail...not everyone here in this thread knows a single truth about UAE here and those who are on ground are assured different experiences daily...don't believe what everyone is saying here...some people here haven't been to UAE so how can they know anything other than readups. ..focus on positive quotes here but be ready to face reality....if you start poor here but you have zeal and energy and industry ...plus capital,luck and the Grace of The Almighty I promise you you will have opportunities to go to UK...Canada or USA and you will decline it....

I know cos I am here...I won't say what I am worth but I will tell you I'm Nigerian and I'm not doing menial work as is claimed we all here in UAE do...even those who are doing such are making great strides to become bigger and I know they will succeed...

Many may seem confused but please be wise...

Seconded..i think there should be groups like this on all these developed countries to help support first timers. it will help them settle in easily.

Just that some bad people may also take advantage of this avenue in duping them (money go plenty for jolly just enter foreign land hand )

The Europe and North Africa based UAE counsellors couldn't answer this. I follow your South Korea thread where you are doing a great job.

To answer your question, when someone talks about buying a residence visa what they mean is this: a person or his/her proxy approaches a company based here, especially small organizations and make a deal with them to be under their company sponsorship. In this arrangement, instead of the company to pay you salary you will pay them an agreed amount which is usually more expensive in the first visa and cheaper in subsequent renewals after 2 years. The cost for this varies from the position that will be assigned to you, to the relationship you have with the company but most times it's more expensive than any other UAE visa arrangement. This example highlights how position affects the price: if your visa is sponsored as a waiter there is no way you will expect it to be the same cost with the one you are listed as a manager with big salary which will enable you open a bank account, travel almost visa free to some countries, sponsor your wife, family and friends according to the salary listed on the contract they prepared the visa with.

This visa is mostly for people who have their own business, want to be independent of any company, people who are just seeking a way to live in the UAE legally without working for anyone, people who want to use this to build a good profile with the aim of migrating to another country or even people who wants to take their time while they prepare and search for their dream job.

What can these people do to make money while they are here:

1) Become cargo or visa agents.

2) Buy goods and send to Nigeria.

3) Source goods for people from here (especially cars and car parts).

4) Open UAE bank account, use the cheque to rent house and make bed space out of it, or sublet to illegals, have access to loans for business, open African restaurants or beer parlour in their rented apartments.(not legal)

5) Do part time skilled or unskilled jobs eg
a) Security: they will build their body, register through a security company and obtain DPS and start doing event security and bouncers. Their pay is per hour and they make reasonable amount of money.
b) Private teachers.
c) Technicians
d) part time unskilled job which pays the minimum of about 8 Dirhams per hour or fixed daily pay of about 100 Dirhams however this kind of job is not always constant and you will be prepared to do almost any type of job from Cleaning, packaging, waiter, bar man, sales, kitchen helper and so on.
d) Skilled professionals who want to freelance.

6) Rent a car and start a private taxi.

and so on

Most of the big boys in Dubai who lives here legally yet not working for anyone and doesn't have their own company are on this type of visa.

Who's in Dubai here by the way? I'm still seriously job hunting. I got a security job that will pay me 1800 dirhams + benefits(accommodation,transportation and health insurance) but they are insisting I deposit 1000 dirhams first for them to start my employment visa process first. What do you think?
