Dubaiguy:
The issue of potential immigrants/ foreign job seeekers becoming victims of both fake visa and job agents is very prevalent in the society. Almost everyone seeking a greener pasture in another country have been a victim of either. I was once a victim too.

About a week ago, I heard of an issue some Nigerian immigrants have with some job agents which was one of the reasons that prompted me to make this video.
Let me tell you Fake Visa agents and job agents are not really the same, and they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

My focus would be on Dubai and UAE generally ( they are many here) Here is how to identify fake visa agents. fact about


I will start with Visa agents

1. DEMANDS PART-PAYMENT(Advance payment) They offer to apply three months visa for you on part payment, and you pay the balance when it is done. This is false. There is no legal agent or company that will apply three months visa for you in advance. As a matter of fact, the first payment you are asked to made is the original payment. The balance payment is for the agent's benefit. Paying before the visa is the real deal.

2) COST Relating to Nigeria's current situation, if an agent collect above 150,000 from you to purchase three months visa to UAE. Question him or her. Trust me, 150,000naira as at when typing this is the maximum owing to exchange rates etc. Anything above that is extortion.

Let's move to fake Job agents.

These ones operate in Dubai/UAE. You experience them after you have gotten your visa and move to Dubai. These job agents take advantage of people's desperation and a lot of people fall into their traps.

Here are some red flags to identify a fake job agent from my experience and experience of other people.
1) COME WITH YOUR LUGGAGE They always have a catch phrase which is "come with your luggages" They use this catchphrase because they know you are desperate and need somewhere to stay and a job to make money.

After paying them, they will take people to a place, like you have been employed. Truthfully, you will start working but many of the companies they take people to have no quota. In UAE, quota is the number of slots the government give each company to employ people. Since these companies are illegitimate, they don't have quota to apply for your visa.

After Agents take you there and you start these jobs, after three months, the company will tell you "We are sorry, we don't have quota and can't apply for your visa" you would have worked for three months without significant profit and the agent that took you there will be gone or tell you it's no more in their hands cos they got you a "job."

2) AGENT FEE Any Job with an agent fee is a red flag. Agents will charge you from 500 to 1500 dirhams depending on the salary of the job. Be careful, get more facts before paying.

3) LOCATION OF AGENT'S OFFICE Be wary of companies based in Business Bay, Burjuman and many other places which includes Sharjah and Ajman. Ajman is popular for bad vices and is a den of fraudsters and scammers. I talked about it in my last video. Be very careful if you get invited for interview in these locations. Am not saying everywhere in this location is bad, Just be more careful.

4) CONSULTATION/REGISTRATION FEE Any company that asks you to pay consultation or registration fees is likely false. No legit recruitment agency in UAE charges job seekers. They may tell you, you will start job in three days, Sunday etc. All lies. Leave immediately.

5) OFFER LETTER ON THE SPOT Any job that gives you an offer letter without an interview is probably fake. Question that. No job will give u an offer letter to do your visa without interview. They use a flat, or normal apartment and it is always well set up when u come back in 2 or three days, they are gone.

You can check the source for more information and please don't send me a pm. Rather a comment on the video will be seen and addressed.

Thank you

Nice one from you.
I will suggest that you work deeper on contacts though concerning one guy who posted dropped his story pertaining to one Cotonou contact you gave him.
The good thing is the guy absolved you of any blame eventually but be mindful of those people (contacts) so they don't discredit your dealings

As at today, YES, U can get ur 3months visa

Please I would need to talk to you about the Dubai visa. I need a genuine 3 months visa. You are very right about the job scam in Dubai. my inlaw fell for the job in Dubai scam. Worst is he wasn't paid for the 3 months, they told him that they would use the money to make visa for him. At the end of the 3 months they put him in a plane to Ghana, that he should exit and renter under the new visa. As soon as he got to Ghana story changed. This is 5 years now, he is still in Ghana. Ashamed to come back to Nigeria. His mother sold their only land to send him to Dubai. Worst is, it was a Nigerian that scammed him.

Na so. Just pray you dont meet the smart ones. Everything will look so genuine that you will be asking them do they need more cash to make it fall through.

You are right. The guy I talked about in my previous video that scammed me works with a genuine company, I believe he wanted to do outside job, na so ẹ flop

dubaiguy, can 1 Million Naira take me, wife and two kids to dubai just for a one week visit and back to naija?

I believe u can only get 2weeks/1month visa.

For visa and ticket only, I think 1 million will do provided your kids are still small, I think kid's visas are a bit cheaper and you'll book a family packaged ticket.

What of someone who wants to go and spend just 1 or 2 weeks, must such a person use 3 months visa? Is there no one month visa? If there is, what is the standard cost for it, as u stated for 3 months?

You can get (not sure about 2weeks) 2weeks/1month visa

Around 70k

Agent fit say 100k, some1 above and below said agents will also eat

With this warning and red flags, it's only desperate Nigerians that would fall victim of these greedy agents.

Ignorance is not the cause to fall victim of baits being called job opportunity in foreign countries.

This amount is what the visa cost so as a travel agent won't u add ur own money when u apply visa for people abi ur office is a charity organization.
The issue of getting a job in Dubai, as a new person someone will assist u cus if u are applying job online it will takes so much time sometimes u may stay more than 3 months without even being invited for interview. So going through an urgent to get work is always part of UAE. But most people that ask u to register are not real.
Business Bay one should not be scared or afraid of the place cus thats where u have alot of companies and embassy in Dubai infact is one of the most busy and beautiful place and were u have big company's and offices.
Dubai is good only bad and lazy people are the once defrauding people. One thing about UAE never trust any one even ur brother cus he can defraud u and make money at anytime if u fall a victim and most of those guys that do it doesn't have job.
They are still nice and honest people their and alot of guys are making money legitimately and riding their cars there.

I'm not into visa, so agents should feel free to charge what they like. I just had to tell people as it is.... I've heard from many people being charged 350k by their so called friends and colleagues for 3months visa.
