I am from the Bahamas and I have a Nigerian friend who came here by flying to Dubai, then Moscow, then Havana, Cuba, then to Nassau. I am not sure if you need transit visas for all of those countries.

The issue am having is that my agent(also a taxi guy) needs 2000aed to get d original copy of my visa, he said he needs to deposit it @ d airport for me. My friend(also a taxi guy), he jst started work fully for a month now, he also got to dubai thru this agent. He confirmed it to me that its a new policy that the 2000aed is for map reading I.e a stage after passing driving school. I sent the money to the agent while he was on vacation, he idiot spent my money nd when he got back to dubai he gave me stories. To cut it short, I had to wait till june ending so that he will use his salary to clear the visa.
Unluckily, he got messed up with his salary, my friend told me he got alert of 5150aed, bt wen he got to bank, he met 515aed. I ddnt believe it, bt my friend told its the truth because my friend nd d agent fought because of my matter, so he monitored him when he got d alert, they both went to bank to collect the cash, bt they met another story there.

The agent is really begging me to loan him that 2000aed so that I can come in nxt week nd by the time I get my emirate ID, he wuld av sorted with bank and repay me. He said I av been @ home 1month because of his 4kup that he's not really happy with how bank messed him up.


He(d agent) told me that 60 is the xchange rate and 1000naira( as charges) making a total of 130k for him to get the 2000aed.. He said he will give me back.

I prefer to send it to my friend, bt he neva sabi watsup ontop money exchange blabla..

Nd about the agent, my friend nd I, we will all be staying together in dsame room in dubai.

WOW thank you so much, i feel you, but i was told by a friend in Dubai that i should look for 200k he will do the 3month visa, for 200, i should look for a roommate so as to save little cash, he said when i get there, if i have 200k he will take me where i can do resident permit, that i can stay as long as i can, please can that really work?

Usually those who are on tourist visas should exit to their home country and you can’t extend the tourist visa. It's either 1month or 3months

Either you process 30 days (short term) or 90 days (long term) tourist visa.

It is not required to exit on VISIT visa. Also Note that Tourist visa is not same as visit visa.

Your relatives/friends can apply for VISIT Visa. Tourist visa is applied through Travel Agencies/Airlines.

If you come on visit visa, you don’t have to exit UAE if you get a job while for Tourist visa you MUST exit.

You can also convert from VISIT VISA to Student visa

Thank you so much for clarification, you know it too well,this is exactly the answer.

Please planning on going to Dubai after fasting, please anyone need a room mate? Anyone planning going by that time too, we can rent a room together just before we get jobs, it will save us spending more, and please do you think I can be offered a job with a one month visa even if its not extendable? Need response please and thanks

Hi,i would advice you not to travel on a month visa not even on a three months visa,(we have successfully taught the indians how to charge money for your job and visa to be processed while they hire you)dubai is getting harder by the day,just pay 400k or 350k and go through direct employment, that is if you know someone who can do it for you with either these rates or below.as for a bed space, you can go to albraha street in deira,uganda guys do rent 400dirams per (monthly) bed spaces, nigerians are something else, please avoid them,im talking from experience, if you have someone in dubai he can get you a tourist if one month through indian agents for 600-700ead while nigerian agents collect more than a hundred and twenty thousand,for three months you can get for 160k or below but for nigerian people 200-300k as your brains can carry you. nigerians specialise on making life difficult for their fellow citizens in dubai .im talking from experience, I went to dubai with my husband though from abroad with 1.4million if we convert it to naira,we were duped by nigerians for resident visa,we ended up in hotels and then rented an apartment for two months,in ajman after they nearly also duped us for three thousand dirams per month we got a thousand five dirams per month from a Somalian who own a house without utility bills.the yet the fool never never put in a paper for visa for us till I summoned courage to visit the ministry of labour and behold, do you know that this man watched us extend our visas with 2000ead and still lied,then I used police to get our money but before then,we traced him to the centre of mahabar hotel and beat the living broad day light of him,people gathered while he was still lying that he put in a visa for us that was on process,i called ministry of labour and they verified while I left my phone on speaker for the public to hear and they said nothing was on process, by that time,we have overstayed with five days ooh.(ended up paying a 1200ead,200 for the first day of overstay and 100 each for the subsequent days)so we left and my husband returned again with three months visa through the help of a man who saw us when we were publicly deal with the fool(the man took us to an Indian agent for very cheap rates) and then scavenged for job till God showed him mercy,he got one and the employer is so kind that he lent him 5000ead to travel to KISH island for a visa change,while a south African friend of hes,shorteed him in case of abscornd,he paid a deposit 3000ead at the dubai airport, bought flight ticket with 700 and left, he landed in KISH after 45 minutes and was carried to the hotel(hostel) owned by KISH airline where he paid 40ead per night,God being so faithful, his P.R.O worked so hard that his visa came out in just five days,he also saw some nigerians, indians,nepalese etc,who were abandoned by their employers for almost two months,in kish,you can not use any credit cards or western union. On the 5th day,the hotel printed his employment visa sent by his P.R.O and rescheduled his flight to return to dubai. where he collected his deposited and has done medicals as of yesterday. So you see,if you leave on tourist visa,bear it in mind that you must exit before your employer processes your visa because you can not stay in a country with two visas,that money you would use to exit when you are not even sure if your employer would behave like the indians and abandon you,i would advise that you add it up and go through employment visa and if anyone claims that your employment visa is progress,simply go to www.mol.gov.ae to find out or ask any good friend of yours in dubai to call 800665 for you its a toll free line,just give them your passport no and citizenship and then tell them that you would want check the status of your employment visa,they have rights to freedom of information, they would tell you the truth and also give you your application to be checking online .it takes only 10working days and sometimes less to get a confirmation and after which you would go for medicals for your visa to be stamped on your passport, please I would advice you to run a hepatitis B,C,HIV,syphilis,tuberculosis and chest XRAY before apply for any work visa. this is the end of my story. feel free to ask any questions, I would clarify you because. I have walked through that part before,its not even something to wish an enemy. God bless you.
