It depends on how you want to live there.
I am currently in Dubai since 5 days ago.
Note that i went through Cotonou - Addis Ababa too.

I have spent o er 2 million already because I stay in 5 star Hotel. Visiting Burj Khalifa and Atlantis on Palm Jumeirah took lots of money of its own. Taxi. Food. Etc.

How many days did you spent in cotonou?


If you don't have money, dont go.

My Dubai 3 months visa is 190k. There is more available jobs in Dubai now cus of Expo 2020. I will advise u when traveling try to have extra fund so that once u get there u can do serial certificate is security course which will course u about 2000 dirham the training is for 3 weeks and after that u will write exam and once u pass it they will give u the certificate which u will use to look for security job and is very easy to get security job with it. Some security companies pay as much as 3000 dirhams a month some pay 1500, 1800, 2000, 2400, 2500 dirhams. Dubai is good now more available jobs cus of Expo 2020. But Dubai also have it own bad ways. It hard and not easy. All the best. U can also contact me when u ready.

BAVOSKI:
If you're coming Here to look for Job.. just prepare 800k, With Visa, flight, accomodations,food, printing CVs,and transportation incase for Job interview.... You may not spend up to that amount of money... Just in case

Coming to Dubai is not the way it used to be, alot of recent happenings are currently slowing down things. For instance as at now no work permit for Nigerians who are on tourist visa except you have enough cash to be going for visa change every three months pending when the work permit issue is reviewed by the Dubai government. As for jobs you will definetely get a job in Dubai if you really know what you came here to do though the pay might not be much and you will be ready to work for a minimum of 10 hours or 12 hours max . And always know that in Dubai salaries are not paid on time, some companies pay you on the 10 to 15th of the following month except you are working with a very good reputable company.
Transguard accepts Nigerians for now but I don't know about now due to the current issues affecting Nigerians here in UAE. The problem with Transguard is that they don't pay well unlike other organisations.
As for the current breakdown of the amount you need to come to Dubai in search of job I will give you a breakdown;

Visa( 3 months) 1100 dirhams with exchange rate @ 138.5 from naira to dirham - 152,350
Travel to cotonou- 15,000
Hotel bill in Cotonou for 3 days - 21000
Flight ticket( to/fro) - 390,000
Covid test- 78000
Passport back stamping at seme- 20,000
Bta will comprise of the following;
Accommodation for the first two months in Dubai: 100,000
Feeding: 50,000
One month unlimited bus card: 45000( 350 dirhams)
SIM card: 8000
Printing of CV: 10,000
Sira certificate ( optional) - 249,300 (1800dirhams)
Miscellaneous expenses: 150,000

Total: 1,388,650.

This amount will take you to Dubai comfortably without you encountering much stress when you arrive.
