samally: Please Beware!!!! Nigerian in Diera are all thief and liars....

GOOD ADVISE,

awatefe: i gave u a reply on another thread,just reply that there are alot of things we need to talk about.and you dont have to travel to dubia you can do importation right here in nigeria as long as you have the market to sell.mail me on that email remember to drop your number too

[quote author=samally]Y would u advise someone who has said he is interested in travelling to dubai for business tht he does not need to travel to dubai he can do the importation from here, Dubai visa is not difficult to get and the whole travelling process is not expensive so why not allow the guy go there, look round check out prices for the different goods for himself then make his choice and get his business contacts then subsequent purchases from Nigeria if he wants, pls lets stop misleading pple abeg

I totally disagree with that statement oooo, Nigerian women are alwaz treated like queens as soon as you enter dubai airport, becasue dey know u av only 1 motive! SHOOOOOPPPPPPING! From the airport, to my hotel room at the Ibis, to all the tourist locations, to the shopping malls! I was treated like a celebrity! Once dey hear you are Nigerian, dey nearly start to bow down sef! I love dubai with a passion!

SEE DUBAI BEFORE YOU DIE!!!


Thank you my sister hat is the point i was trying to make thank God some1 else agrees

If yo ar going to purchase things for wedding then i think you should be going as a tourists not a business person and i really dont know anything about china tourist visa

Also why go al the way to china to buy thing for wedding its really far and stressful IMO, you can get nice and cheap things in dubai as well and their visa is easier

If you are not from America, Britain, Australia, Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrian..
The UAE, will treat you like TOTAL CRAP. And pay you SLAVE PAY..
Been there. Done that.
Wicked Nation!

Totally disagree with u stella there are many well treated and respected nigerians here who have jobs tht pay unbelievably well, or own property in the choicest parts of dubai or even own companies that employ emiraties, indians and even americans and brits, if you have ur qualification and good working experience especially in dubai, europe or america you get well paid jobs as an african trust me, my belief is tht if u ct like crap u will be treated like total crap, many wealthy nigerian go for vacation in dubai and pay for expensive hotels do they dare treat them like crap cause not.

UAE in general do not joke with thei rules and religion an when it comes to going against it they treat every1 like crap even the brits, americans etc you can onfirm this from some dubai expat forums

From my experience you can only get chinese visa thru their embassy it cannot be done thru airlines like dubai, you will need an invitation letter from a company there to be able to apply for a business visa and the maximum stay given to nigerians is 30 days with a single entry (this info is as at last year dont know if it has changed now)

Hope this helped

Lots of Nigerians are stuck in dubai and cannot come back home because they have overstayed and are not able to pay the fine for the overstay, meanwhile they are not doing anything tangible becos they do not have a valid residence permit, so i feel they should take advantage of this situation come back home and get their lives back together, instead of wasting away there.

Thousands expected at centres as UAE visa amnesty begins

Dubai: Thousands of illegal immigrants are expected to flock to centres across the country as the 60-day visa amnesty begins on Tuesday.

Violators of the country’s residency law can visit a centre in each Emirate to start the departure process — which will see them leave the country with no ban or overstaying fines to pay.

General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs (GDRFA) officials confirmed illegal residents will be granted exit permits to leave the country — with all fines waived — upon visiting one of the 10 centres across the country.

Those applying for amnesty will have fingerprints and iris scans taken to ensure there are no pending criminal cases against them.

“The amnesty will start today and will last for 60 days, giving time for all illegal residents and visitors to leave the country without penalties,” officials said.

Last month Gulf News reported how Major General Nasser Awadi Al Menhali, assistant undersecretary for Naturalisation, Residency and Ports Affairs, announced the amnesty, detailing how illegal residents will be allowed to leave the UAE without penalty.

As many as 342,000 illegal immigrants took advantage of the last amnesty declared in 2007.

Around 300,000 illegal immigrants left the country under the second amnesty which ran between January and April, 2002.

In 1996, about 200,000 illegal residents left the country under a six-month amnesty.

Residency law violators should take their passport and an air ticket to their home country to any of the 10 amnesty centres across the emirates.

Officials have emphasised there is no need to approach the residency department where the original residency or visit visa was issued.

Those without passports — if they have been lost or stolen — will receive assistance from the residency department to obtain out-passes from their consulates or embassies.

Anyone with outstanding absconding cases against them, where their passport is held at a residency department, will be given back their passport in order to leave the country.

In cases where violators cannot afford an air ticket, they will receive support either in the form of liquidating their bank guarantee deposited at the Ministry of Labour, or where no guarantee exists, they will be helped by the authority on humanitarian grounds.

An official added: “For those violators who wish to stay in the UAE but who have allowed their residency to expire, overstaying fines must be paid in order to legalise residency status.”

In Dubai, those wishing to take advantage of the amnesty grace period can approach the Directorate to follow up on violations and foreigner affairs in Al Aweer from 8am until 8pm, except during holidays.

Colonel Mohammad Alwan, director of the GDRFA in Ajman, told Gulf News illegal residents in Ajman can approach the centre in Al Jurf area — close to the Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs where a special tent has been set up.

Brigadier Dr Abdullah Sahoo, director of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Sharjah, said: “In order for illegal immigrants to have their exit permits issued, they can approach the Sharjah residency department headquarters in Al Jawazat Area.

“They need to bring an air ticket, passport or out-passes from their consulates.”

People wishing to take advantage of the amnesty can call the toll free number, 800 5111, for enquiries and information on the required documents and how to apply.
