Applied and got an immediate confirmation via mail, although at the end of the application there are some documents that you have to print out directly from the site

Thanks for the feedback. I called my bank and they said the transaction was pending and money will be refunded after 5-7 days. I paid again and it went through without any problem, got the acknowledgement and payment receipt immediately.

I have been given appointment for next week, can I go before the appointment date from your experience . I tried contacting Abu Dhabi office but no one is answering.

Good day house. Please who have used the Nigerian immigration portal to apply and pay for passport. I just did and I have not been sent an acknowledgement nor receipt slip. Do they send this later or what

@justi4jesu and others, kindly help.

Sorry for your loss. What you should have done immediately was to call lost and stolen dept of the bank to inform you had misplaced your card.

£40 fuel

Not including Mot, servicing or road tax.

It is well

Is this how much you spend monthly or daily . 40 pounds a day seems to be a lot.

nattybanta:

Hi natty. Please which of the money transfer offices the one I am familiar with said they don't offer the service at the moment.

Has anyone done the bvn stuff in Dubai - how long does it take?

Little Information for those who don't know: There is Free Wifi in Metro stations.

Note: Abeg try not to chat/browse and pass your station where you are supposed to drop.


Also Friday services of the Dubai Metro will begin at 10am instead of 1pm from October 2,

This is very good information. Thank you!

tHANKS FROSTMATE...I REMOVED THE POST COS I DONT WANT RESPONSES ANYMORE..I FEEL THE QUESTIONS DOES NOT NEED TO BE HERE

THANKS THOUGH

ken1982:
We are saying the same thing. For someone looking for a job with UK masters you will not be offered 2k aed...probably4-5k or so as a fresher in UAE, except where you are desperate to land a job and you accept any possible offer tabled.

UK masters with 2-3 years should be getting more. It might also depend on what you are ready to settle for, field of work..

Alot of people are paid between 500 to 1000 dirham, some get 1500 dirhams.


Security jobs in dubai pay between 1500 to 2000 dirhams , while security jobs in sharjah, ajman and abu dhabi pay between 2000 to 2700 dirhams or 3000 dirhams( if your lucky)

Cleaner jobs pay between 700 to 1200 dirham per month

Drivers earn between 2000 to 4000 dirhams per month

I have seen an office receptionist that collect 1000 dirhams per months, while some collect between 1500 to 2500 or even up to 3500( for those lucky)

Now professional jobs can give U between 4000 to 8000 dirhams and at times up to 13000dirhams( if your lucky). This section is mostly dominated by indians and philpines, your chance of getting a job as an african is very slim

Most jobs that pay up to 15000dirhams and above are reserved for Uae citizens or foreign nationals from 1st world countries

4000 - 8000 dirhams for a professional, are you really sure about this, that's quite low. You know people in the customer service field earn between this range, will you class jobs like this as professional jobs?

suurutu:
Doesn't qatar work like other countries that your husband can apply for you no his own visa

@ drdre1: you said qatar visa can be obtained through other means could you enlighten me pls

Thanks

Husband can apply under his own visa - the minimum salary husband should be earning is 10000 Qatari rials plus required supporting documents. Information from google.

ken1982:
infact lemme respond to that. one cut is 500 naira as a freelance. but walahi me i no dy cut hair again o...i just keep an afro.

i have a guy who got a work visa from a friend and started cutting hair and before 1 month the guy was carrying ethiopia women up n down so i guess he was making money. he also moved into a room with only 4 guys which means he is meeting up with bills so in a way if u cut 20 heads per day for 20 days in a month u will get 4k aed. that is freelance o

if u work in a barber shop that one i no sabi

This is very interesting....

diggy4real:
How does one get a UAE driver's license without stayig or living in the country because all the the jo opening that suits me keep asking after UAE driver's licence as a requirement.

You cant...You need a passport with a residence stamp on it to apply. You will need to be residing or living in UAE.

Hi Ken,

I typed in the name of the company in question in google and they appear to have a facebook page which seems to be authentic, company appears to be based in Al Ain....assuming if its the same company.

@just4jesu.Good stuff. Anyone seeking information can be directed to the first page

Hello House,

Urgent suggestion from folks in Dubai, a friend is almost at the point of accepting a Managerial Job with a company in Dubai. He's done 3 Stages of Skype interviews.

The company according to him is at Dubai World Central, he wants to know if USD 5000/month he proposed to accept is not a bad deal for the cost of daily living in dubai and of course savings bearing in mind that the company said he will be responsible for his own accommodation. They promised him two annual return tickets to his home country (Nigeria) & health coverage.

Your responses will go a long way to help in this decision making, the person is employed in Nigeria and want to be sure before resigning.

It's a good offer. It might be a different story if he's married with kids

chineloSA:
Are you saying all of us here don't have a life eeeehn? What life are you refering to eeeeehhhhhn naaaa? Talk?

Well alot of people who are here are here to make money and move on. This country is different to most Arab countries I gather. I have been to UAE and I can say there is a difference. Very hard to explain, but hey people have been working and surviving before me .

I am not God, I cannot tell you that you cannot or can be considered. All I reported on was paye discrepancies and preference of Nationalities, which is a reality, regardless how others don't want to admit it. Regardless of those who claim to have worked in the Kingdom say, they know its a reality.
I also said all Nigerians I know here do not use our Nigerian passport. I have also had conversations with them and they also admitted to being aware of Nationality preference in the Kingdom and also pay discrepancies.

They can consider you. Just put your application forward and see what will come out of it.

No I am mot saying that only that there appears to be a lot of restriction. I know a few people who worked prior to coming to the uae. The pay was good but that appeared to be the best part of it. Cost of living appears to be cheaper in the kingdom compared to the uae. Your ACs over there I hear are more powerful, probably because you people don't go out much over there

I have learned a lot from this thread. There is bazically no life in Saudi Arabia from what I can gather when you compare to the UAE. You just make sure you save as much as possible from the fat salary and move on. I will like to come over there as well, please do they consider gulf experience - will this be considered over nationality?

Dikachukwu:
Then, how will I know the genuine one, they even called me up asking about the activation of my account with $92 CAD and the web site is jobsindubai. Pls I want your help.

It is illegal as per the UAE labor law to charge any fees from job seekers. Any payment/settlement will have to be between authentic recruitment agencies and employer not you an employee. So don't let anyone con you in giving them your hard earned money.

You should type in jobsindubai on google and see the results. Its a bloody scam.

kolokolobi:
I'm bumping into Nigerians here in uae working as security guards in some of the hotels I've been staying in the bur area. Is this what they look forward to I ask. Of course there are proffesionals here but my heart bleeds when I see my guys as valets at hotel entrances. The phillipinos and other nationals have better jobs with dignity. What's wrong? I didn't come to look for a job I came to kill some spare time and catch up on one or two proffesional expos in the ME area So as to know trends in the market. The saying at home is that they are working in dubai and living large. Why?

Madam Justi has said it all. You can imagine someone earning 6000 naira as salary and then there is an opportunity to earn 200000 naira or more in Dubai plus opportunity to get better paying jobs tax free. Not everyone has it all good in Nigeria.

The Filipinos and Indians are more established here but you see them doing worse jobs as well. We are getting there

justi4jesu:
Renewal days are only Tuesdays and Thursday 9am to 12pm only.

Cost of passport renewal $112 to be paid via credit card(Mandatory)


Embassy Processing fee 185 Dirhams cash payment

Thank you Justi. So I assume payment with credit card will be made on the immigration portal website

Good day house. Please how do I go about getting a new passport at the Nigerian house in Abu Dhabi, what's the turnaround time

There was very limited space on the plane. Who wants to be left waiting for another 4 hours, animal instincts set in at times like this....throw civility out the window. I blame Arik air for this.

Shauron1:
Please how do I verify it?

What is the work permit? Is it for UAE or Qatar? Forgive me for my ignorance but don't think you mentioned it in your post. What's mentioned on the work permit.

I think you can verify it on DNRD website. 800k is a lot of money to give out. What sort of job were you promised?

Shauron1:
Okay let me be explicit, I paid an agent through a known person 800k for 2 years working visa around September last year flight inclusive, they were giving me one excuse after the other. Then early this year. They gave a work permit and said they have to get the ticket from the company. Then they started giving one excuse after the other. Around Feb they sent me a ticket that after a week. I'll move, was very excited. When I went to mma a day before the flight, they said no record of my ticket is in their database Turkish airline). When I called the agent. He said, that they didn't confirm the ticket, because they were not able to get the okay to deboard. That I should standby. Early this month, they sent an okay to deboard,but they claim they were not able to get me the flight for the 7th. On Wednesday, they sent another ticket, but mere looking at it, it is a fake, my name was just superimposed on the ticket with paint. The name underneath was still showing. Now they claim I should wait for the okay to deboard of the ticket. That is what makes the ticket valid. Please how true is this?

Hi....have you verified the authenticity of the work permit..maybe you should start from there

nattybanta:
how r u guys seeing d sandstorm in the UAE

Absolutely horrible, but I get to go home early so not so bad init
