Well, we can only do the little we can to assist and guide potential immigrants to the UAE,but, those that will fall prey to wicked agents will still fall,travelling to any part of the world requires adequate, solid and reliable informations if not newbies/first time travellers can fall easily to agents and the sad thing about life is many only discover this thread after they have been cleaned up by wicked agents of destruction and falsehood

l have seen/heard of so many sad stories in the UAE, my ears are full and if l have to download all l have heard and seen in the UAE,l might write a best seller novel......l heard of somebody who was brought to the UAE with a 2weeks tourist visa and guess how much the agent collected from the guy, it was 950,000naira, the guy has gone back to Nigeria.

OMG! Just 50,000 naira more to become a million naira ( some civil servant pensions ).. But , why are some people wicked ? Well, we all don't have the spirit of God in us . That's why , it's good for a human to be spiritually inclined .. Good day , Oga ! Longest time ( you just forget your boi sha **winks**)

@Ogakpatakpata : Okay Boss.. Thanks for the info

ogakpatakpata: .


They have all embassies here in the UAE,but, to secure their visa, you will need to fulfill same requirements as applicable in Nigeria, although, it is easier to obtain visa here, again , you will need a very good bank statement + good income and in some cases a letter from your organisation to support your visa application.

Furthermore, another way to go about it, is some company/organisation can use their limited liability licence llc + documents + bank statement to sponsor your visa application and charge you for all the expenses.l know of a close associate and friend who has moved to CANADA recently, the company charge him 30,000AED for all the expenses and he got the visa. Hope this answers your questions?

Sure, it did ! Thanks but 30,000 AED is damn too much ! God bless

@Ogakpatakpata : Good day Sir, Please check your mail on NL, i sent you a PM! Actually, i didn't type anything because NL didn't let me type any message yet but it says you have to reply to me first before i can write you. I don't know .. Lol.. Anyway, i wanted to ask a question ... Kindly share some info ..
If someone is working in UAE, you know you would have gotten a working permit/ residence visa.. Are there other country embassy in UAE like UK and Usa..etc, and someone can apply for visa with the Nigerian passport /Residence permit in UAE to get Visa for vacation or conferences.. Thank you and how is your day going? Shalom

Hmmm........... my night was fine,peaceful and l am doing absolutely fantastic,l can see and feel that you are a gentle man to the core, so l take it as a pledge from you, so l will meet you, try and give me a call like 2days before your arrival, so l can re-schedule my appointment to meet you, it is a promise, l will meet you,l believe you will succeed, l believe there is nothing impossible to him that believes in his MAKER/CREATOR.

l believe your purpose, dreams and plans for coming to the UAE will be brought to fruition by your maker, believe in yourself as you have always done, arrive with a positive mindset plus all we have suggested here and the sky will be your stepping stone, we just have to build a solid network here in the UAE....l am glad we are already becoming a large family of visionary leaders who can effect a positive change amongst the comity of nations,"" YES WE CAN ""

Amen , Amen and Amen in Jesus name .. Thank you .. Sure , I will update you and I can't wait (smiles)

ogakpatakpata: .

l think you will be fine, relax, l can imagine how anxious you are, besides, if you arrive and l find you very gentle, l might invite you to the desert for dinner in the palace with other chiefs and members of the kingdom, but, there wont be booze or whiskey for you and you must promise you wont trespass to see all the queens in the palace, once l get that commitment from you here, then l will invite you for dinner. What do you think?

Wow! Oh my God ! Sir , to be honest with you , " the words of God i meditate on" and your words of encouragement lifts my spirit high and I so much believe and feel at ease.
Yes of course , I'm anxious ( smiles) , but i will be fine like you said.. Thank you ... Hmmmm, what a great privilege would it be for me to meet with the King in the palace and all other chiefs.. I swear to God , I would be so happy and glad .. You can always trust me .. I'm good and cool ( not boasting ).. I won't trespass with the queens and princess .. About the booze ( juice is okay for me ..smiles )... I'm planning on first week of December .. But, will keep you updated .. Good morning bro , how was your night ? Enjoy your day ( Shalom)

ogakpatakpata: l dont understand what you mean . Can you explain..

@ Ogakpatakpata: I bet you do , and if you don't , the " Amos Adamu" sounds rude and even his question / word seems odd , but thank God you have God wisdom and that's the greatest of all ..( it was the topic I discussed in church last Sunday " Wisdom of God).. Not everyone have it

ogakpatakpata: .

1. Your question is really funny, let me answer you with all humility, yes,my hands are really full with activities both official & private, l sometimes go to bed by 2am here in the UAE, l work & do business here in the UAE and also have a private business in Nigeria, so l am always online monitoring , communicating and managing my business both here in the UAE and in Nigeria, l also have time for fun, relaxation & dinners with friends and colleagues,l am a very busy person, it is all about proper time management, prioritizing my schedules & absolute discipline.

2. Once you secure the 1month extendable tourist/visit visa, it starts counting on arrival in the UAE. Thanks for your kind comments, will be expecting your arrival. Cheers

Wow! You are so humble and God-fearing ! Sir , I so much respect you and I pray that God won't withdraw the " humility" and " wisdom" that he gave you .. You ain't a " boss" but you are a " Leader" . God bless you .. You shall soon lead NIGERIA to the promise land

ogakpatakpata: .


l got your e-mail.........l think you will be fine, ...........the numbers you quoted 210 & 206 has nothing to do with the visa, some forumites whom l met recently came with the extendable 1month visa and their visa number was XXXXXXXX / 2013 / 201. it is the regular visa numbers alloted to visa's in a chronological order, just be sure it is the
extendable visa, that is the caveat.

Okay , thank you ! I got it now .. I so much appreciate your time and you are just too much .. Love you bro ( no homo).. Anyway, mine ends with 210.. So, I was wondering if it was the visit and not tourist o

@ Ogakpatakpata : I hail the king ! Good day and how's working going. Please, I hope your email in the signature still works and receive mail because I just wrote to you now and I will be glad if you can look into it and reply me .. The subject is " big M101 from Nairaland

ogakpatakpata: @all................l beg your pardon for the double post, the nairaland website was very slow when l posted and it pasted the same info twice.

Network could be shitty sometimes

ogakpatakpata: .


You are getting it mixed up altogether, it is in the thread, it has been explained countless times, l did explained it yesterday, let me try and make it simple for you.

1. We have different kinds of of visa to the UAE

2. We have 1month tourist visa ( non-extendable ) you cannot work with this kind of visa and it cannot be extended once it expires, you must leave the UAE .

3. We have 14days tourist visa, you cannot work with this visa.

4. We have 96 hours transit visa, meant for those transiting the UAE and connecting to different part of the world.

5. We have 1month tourist/visit visa (extendable) you can work with this kind of visa, once it expires, you extend it again for another 1month and that is it.

6. We also have 3months visit visa, very difficult to get and also very expensive.

7. Etihad airlines can issue you with either the 1month tourist visa (extendable) or the 1month tourist visa (non-extendable). For Emirates, check their website and see what they issue, other tour agency in the UAE can also sponsor your visa application,but, make sure you ask them the kind of visa they are issuing to you.

8. All the visa's carry the word TOURIST in the middle of your visa in a bold form, but, it is left to you to tell them you want the visa that allows you to secure a job on arrival.

9. Tourist visa is good, IF it is the extendable one, or else you CANNOT work with it and even if you secure a job it CANNOT be processed for residence/work permit.

10. Check the visa you have and ask whoever issue it to you questions, we have some people who arrived with misleading information from their agents/brothers/friends with the 1month non-extendable visa and are trapped with it and could't find a job with it.


Notice: Click on Ultimatee signature profile, he is a forumite, his friend arrived with the 1month tourist visa, secured a job,but, when his employers requested to see the visa, it was discovered that it was the 1month non-extendable visa he came with and hence he wasn't given the job and according to him, his friend returned back to Nigeria. That is why we emphasize on diligent study of the thread.

Goodluck

It's okay Sir ! Thank you so much . I appreciate.. God bless , and good morning to you

ogakpatakpata: @yinkagbo......obtain your 1 or 2months visit visa, not tourist visa,through Etihad airlines, prepare a good CV with your pix on it from Nigeria, arrive Dubai, apply for jobs online or through networking or walk-in interviews, if you get a job, the company takes it from there and arrange for your residence and work permits..............finally, go back on this thread, start from page 1, all your questions and worries will be resolved before you reach the last page...good luck

Sir , I'm totally confused .. Is tourist visa not good ? You also quote that " don't get a tourist visa but visit visa ".. What if someone has got a tourist visa ? Can't he/she get a job with it and then change it to employment ? I'm not inquisitive nor dull but I'm confused ! Please, try clarify

Si Papi .. Comprehende ! Gracias

ogakpatakpata: .

We are here to guide and assist, l am also thankful to other contributors who have made this thread one of the best, l will continue to assist and support as many as l can, that is the essence of life, it is about giving,giving, giving and giving, make sure you get the extendable 1month visit/tourist visa, some forumites still call me offline and tell me they are coming with tourist visa, they will be in for a big shock on arrival, you cannot work with a tourist visa, the UAE is way organised and they dont joke or compromise with their laws.

The king ! I hail oo... Happy Sunday bro . I got confused with what you said here ," ypu can't work with tourist visa".. " get an expandable visit / tourist visa".. Are you saying that , if someone should enter UAE with 2 month tourist visa , and he scout for jobs and he finds one. Then he collects employment visa and exit to nearby country and re- enter UAE again .. Can it work? With the tourist visa and not visit visa because you said they are different . Please , put in some light because i ain't comprehending .. God bless , the king !

worry 359: You damm cheapscate!
Johnny Walker is fire water!!!!!!!!
You should buy Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Reserve Whisky.

@worry359
You so dumb ! Johnny walker too is expensive .. Mind you, it's " cheapskate " and not "cheapscate"... Mr baba olowo... Lol

ogakpatakpata: Hhahahahaha........ okay, l will be expecting it, you have said it openly to the whole world and if l dont see it, l will come and tell the house..lol......whiskey and spirit are sold right in the duty free port in the UAE on arrival, l recalled when l went to Bahrain for a brief visit, l bought whiskey, boarded the flight with it, drank and enjoyed myself, infact, they even sold beer on board my flight to those who want it, on arrival back to Dubai.

l bought again from the airport to drink at home, Dubai is a free country, they dont have your time as long as you dont misbehave on the street, even if you do, l have seen cases where they arrest those who got drunk, and took them to their station and allow them to go home the following day, when they are sober, the police here are very friendly, sometimes you even wonder if you are in an arab country.

Oh good ! That's cool ( no fear then ).. I will just tuck it in my luggage .. Lol
It a promise , no qualms ...

Omg! It's the real Vodka for real man ! Ooooops( ain't free , remember )

ogakpatakpata: May D's concert?..............l wish l could attend, although, l have attended some few concerts here whenever l am free from my busy schedule, l also know that P-square and some big time artiste from different part of the globe will be in the UAE next month, l will try and be there to wind down..lol. ............for your CV , yes , it is a MUST to be in all your applications,either in the top left or top right corner of your CV, it is very important.l hope you will bring Johnny walker and french whiskey for me when coming, l need it to relax very well, since l am currently sleeping in the arabian desert for another 21days for prayers............lol..just kidding with you.

Lmao it's okay boss ! No problem .. I will bring a bottle of Johnny walker for you ( I promise) but hope I won't get into trouble bringing such oo( never been to Arab country before ...lol)
Of course , next month is December and it's more of relaxation than work ( depends on schedule )... We could unwind and hit the concert ** winks

ogakpatakpata: .


Good to hear that, thanks for your kind words to the house, there is actually no specific month of opportunities in the UAE, anything can happen to you and for if you really believe and do all the needful, the thread is loaded with a robust information.Goodluck.

King , I hail! If I don't salute then I am not polite . Well, I know that anytime could be a blessing and I also believe in God miracle .. Thanks so much and I hope you are preparing to attend May D's concert on Nov 30th at Kiza lounge .. Lol
I wanna ask you something , I want to be sure of something . Since dubai's CV require someone's passport photo at the top right hand , so let's assume , I am sending 30 CV's to different organization , does it mean that I will attach each passport to each CV?

Oh my God ! " and my instinct told me that Dubai visa ain't gonna be hard or expensive like this "... How I wish I had come across this thread before paying an agent 100k for two months Dubai tourist visa .. Anyway , " all is well"... No shaking ... Thank to y'all that contributed to this thread .. A lot that I can mention names .. You are all appreciated ... I got my visa already and I will be traveling first week in December by God's grace .. I hope there would be a lot of good opportunities for jobs because I heard December is the best time for jobs ..Smiles
