I hear say YAHOO BOYS dey make am there.

That Dubai or the UAE is a gangster paradise for those "free money guys" to display their trade.

That was the country guys like Hushpuppi and woodberry was displaying their expensive cars, wristwatches, expensive apartement, etc

Even MOMPHA was in Dubai too showering before our BLINKING CARS chains of expensive cars.

1. UAE visa is cheap but the country is expensive and with so much Competition .

2. There is so much bad Image for Nigerian in UAE so you must be willing to do more of good conduct to enable you stand out.

3. UAE is not a country you come to with $100 BTA, the moment you drop from the airplane to the moment you receive your first salary is a whole lot of spending, so be prepared

4. 99% of the Jobs your agent promised you from Nigeria is not true, he may also be on overstay and doesn't care if you join him/her.

5. Free accomodation is scarce in UAE, dont get angry when your friend or relative refuses to accommodate you, if you Intend to share with them, always agree properly, don't assume.

6. Your prospective employer has a different culture from you, always calm down to observe.

7. UAE has labour laws, get someone who knows to explain to you, don't act on information you gather online.

8. If you are a skilled worker, eg mechanic, mason, electrician, tiler etc, it's easier for you to get a job than he who comes with a master's degree in philosophy or business admin etc.

9. Always be sure you want a job before you take it , don't sign a job contract and abandon it mid-way, it may be the beginning of your predicament.

10. For those who get promises of visa and ticket to pay back when you get to UAE, there is a 99% chance that you are been exported for prostitution, in UAE prostitution is a CRIME and doesn't give you as much money as it does in Europe , so think twice when you get such offers.

11. If your main business is yahoo, no need to come except you have already made it big in Nigeria and you need a good environment where you can invest your money and have a good life.

12. Don't pay anyone hundreds of thousands of Naira to get a UAE visa with a promise of big job, if you have millions and must come to Dubai, get a one month visa and do a residence permit on arrival if you don't get a desired job.

13. Those who have a personal residence permit tend to get higher paying jobs than those who come with tourist visas and are on company residence permit.

14. You cannot rob a bank, do cultism etc and go free in UAE, there are cameras everywhere and the boarders are tight.

15. Once your visa expires, you loose all your legality and begin to pay overstay fines, avoid it if you can.

16. Shouting, fighting, protesting, illegal gathering, unauthorised photography, cultism are all prohibited in UAE, it will get you into trouble.

17. Not all businesses in UAE are doing well, some Pakistanis, Indians, Filipinos, Arabs etc you call Arbab/ sponsors are also struggling, they set up a company and employ you, they can mess up your stay if they can't proceed with your residence permit.

18. When a company employs you, size them up, evaluate their operations and check well if they are capable of paying salaries and issuing a residence permit, let me explain further; a new coffee shop in Umm Al Quain that employs 6 of you at same time and does not have enough customers may disappoint you, use your brain to avoid crying at last.

19. Starting a business for Nigerians is not as difficult as you hear, that's if you have the money, seek information.

20. UAE is not easy, guys work hard here, really hard.

Good write up.

But I hear say YAHOO BOYS dey make am there.

Uae is not a country to work or hustle it’s just a tourist country

Nigerians are suffering there. It’s better to stay back in nigeria and work for 50k rather than embarking on a journey to Uae to earn 100k as a labourer or security

The op have said it all, I have lived in Abu Dhabi for over 3years. And I know what it was like to live in the Arab nations.

You with japa syndrome, Dubai is not a place for shine hustle, think twice don't go and waste your time, energy and moneyfor nothing. Add to your money Seek better country where at least foreigners are giving equal opportunity to thrive.

However, the environment is buffed with well modern designs and technology, a desert turned to luxury. You can only make your money else's where and go spend or lavish it in Dubai. Jus don't go there having it in mind that you want to go there and make it big. The Arabs are so stringent, you as a foreigner is not entitled to anything. Dubai is only design for those who can come to them and spend their money either by investment or shopping sprees.
Bros, can I send you a Private message?

I have been sending you PM but you are not responding. Can you give me your email so I can chat you up?? I want to send you some documents so you can help me look into it. I got a job offer from UAE, and I was provided with letter of employment, terms and conditions and letter of acceptance which to be signed, scanned and sent back to them. They recommended me with a visay agency to help me process the work and residence permit. I need to forward all the info and even the emails I received from them so you can help me look at it.

Bro what I noticed is there are hardworking Nigerian and lazy Nigerians. How someone would say dubai is not a good place for hustle is what I don’t understand. Even their taxi can drivers are well paid. People are lazy for real. Discouraging other people cos they chose to he lazy. Smh

Good day House. I went to Dubai in 2017 on a 2-weeks visa and due to complications with the surgery I underwent while there, I happen to overstay with another 2wks. I had to pay a fine for the overstay at the airport. Now would that affect my chances of being granted visa into the country again? I am thinking of going back on vacation with my family of one wife and 2 kids when the visa situation normalizes. Thanks.
