Bro, it is sad. There is this guy that got an employment with Canadian University Dubai using his Canadian passport. He ended up to defraud students of huge amount of money. He tried to abscond but trust the security system there, he was caught. When they announced, they gave him "Nigerian" tag. I am telling you, that university will think fifty times before employing Nigerians as expatriates. There's one Nigerian expatriate there sha. The person was employed before that guy committed that offence. This is a guy earning very well. You sabi how working with Canada/US/UK passport pays than using Nigeria's. Why defraud students? Today, na security Nigerians dey do for that university.

Guys the visa is finally out. It took longer than expected but he's saying He wont give me the details to verify unless I pay the balance. Can I proceed guys ? I need ideas on this

Hello guys, well-done to everyone here.

I read the whole thread from page 1-313, the good, bad and the ugly stories.

From everything said here, I think it is best to get an employment from Nigeria before coming to the UAE.

I am a Digital/Motion Graphics Designer, with knowledge of Video Editing and a little bit of Cinematography.

I am just 24 years, but I seriously want to leave this country.

I wanted to go to other first world countries, but it's quite expensive; so I decided to go to Dubai first to raise/save up the required amount, and then move to either Europe or Canada.

I have started applying for jobs on the sites listed here, Indeed, Nakurigolf etc.

I have gotten about 3 responses from the applications, but I noticed that whenever we get to the second stage of the interview (they ask if I am in Dubai, and where I am currently based. Once I mention Nigeria, I don't get any feedback from them again).

My questions are thus:

1. Is it still possible to get a job online with this Nigerian stigma, or is there something I should do that I am not doing?

2. I read here in few pages back that, the company that sponsors your Visa and flight are likely to hold onto your passport until the end of one's contract.

Will that also apply to me, since I am in Media/IT field?

I also want to ask, does it mean that I can't travel outside UAE (to visit my family back in Nigeria), until the 2 years is complete?

3. If my passport is held by the company, does that mean that nobody can come visit me from outside UAE?

Thank you for your perusal.

I hope to get an adequate response from the house.

God bless you all.

Brother,

Getting a job online is possible but you will need to be on ground.


Holding of your passport is not legal but it depend on your employer and the type of job.

What you will sign is a 2 years contract with the company.
Allowing you to travel is near impossible but some may do it.

In UAE, everyday is work except fridays, so if you leave your job and travel, who will do it for you?

Some one can visit you from all over the world, that's your right whether you are working or not...

Are you coming with work permit or 3 months Visa?

Try to come with 3 months Visa and most of your questions will sort itself out.


Any other question?

Regard

NONNYG:
Since @Uchman has answered your questions, just know that all workers in UAE are entitled for 30 days leave per year, so you can travel outside to meet your family

Gundi:


Thank you for the response sir.

Yes, I was planning on coming with direct employment, that's why I've been trying to get a job from Nigeria here, but it seems I might just have to take your advice and come with a 3months visa first and then scout for jobs, because I actually got an invite for an interview yesterday, but they said I should come in person, and I'm not in Dubai yet.

This may sound silly though, but why I asked the question of traveling after starting work was because, I planned to work for at least a year first, come back to Nigeria for a month to do my wedding, and then possibly come back with my wife.

But with the look of things, I might not be able to leave till after 2years, so I guess it's a sacrifice I'd have to pay.

Thank you for your response though, I appreciate.

Ask him to send the half Visa for verification before further payment...

Ope4Christ:
You can leave with your annual leave for about 2 to 4 weeks depending on your organisation. You can plan for your wedding, come and do it within two weeks then you fly back to Dubai to start the 2 years Resident Permit for your wife. It will come out within 2 to 3 weeks then you can bring your wife to enjoy your honeymoon.

Good luck.

He sent half of the visa already but I don't see the complete number for verification.
just 5 letters above the bar code and 8 right under the bar code, is there a way around it just before I pay

@drkay

I Sincerely appreciate your response boss. Thanks a lot!

For the bolded you are right bro, according to someone that works with immigration and travelling office as traveling and sales Agent. He said I will be the one to pay for the direct employment Visa and ticket. That when the Visa comes out after verification of the Visa and paying balance that they will now book the ticket for me in UAE.

Use the information on your Intl passport to know if you have a valid entry permit or not.

May God help Nigerians o. We are usually so desperate and wanna make the money almost immediately we land any foreign country... without learning or paying dues.

But then, other Nationalities dey scam too. Syrians, Bangalee, Pakis, Indians, Nepalis, etc. lolz. I remember the Paki wey wan scam me for Abu shagara... Um Al qauin own nko? UAE ehn??!

You know Nigerians are the largest black Nation in the world, so anything other Africans do for UAE, na Naija do am. One Ugandan scammer been call himself Naija for Abu hail that year. He even said he's from Ogun State (and me resemble Ethiopian) ... I'm sure he won't forget what I did to him.

UAE na scam. To have a little chance of survival... trust only God. And maybe yourself.
