You're welcome brother.

chiomaudokanne:
Wish you well.
Please did you get your duplicate visa on the "10th or 11th" week before proceeding to Abuja to collect the original after due process? You said yours lasted 3 months before coming out.

Yes 11 or 12 months, but I dont think it has a certain time for it to come out this days. As what I've seen here, there are companies here that has license to recruit people for work, for any company that need workers, and also agents that provide workers for this recruiter also has license, so every one can connect with agents they know to get someone they know work from Nigeria or any part of the world.

I know someone here who colleceted money from someone in Nigeria to process employment visa for him, they've suitted everything for a while, but never hear anything from the recruiter office, they always tell them it will soon be ready, it's not this guy's fault but the person in Nigeria will never understand.

This recruiter are the one that will give the agents the application number or temporary visa when it's ready, and that's what you will take to Abuja embassy for the remaining process.

Hello house, thanks be to God I reached Dubai last Monday. Sorry for late update, was trying to ballance up myself.
It was a great journey, but shocked to see the kind of life people are living here, it very cost to live a convinient life here, I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just trying to tell what I've seen so far.

Anyway life here is manageable if you're determined, but I think for people who never live that kind of life might be shock as well.
But no matter how hard it is, some people has been destined to be successful here, while some are not. Most of stories I'm hearing from people here is "they never tell me this is how it is" "If I had known I would have not come".

What I see is that people that call themself agents are just like people like us who find their way to reach up there, and they lie a lot to make people come over so they can make their own money through that. Most people don't end up to same work they came over to do because they never tell them all the requirements.
Like people who came here to drive, after paying for everything including RTA training, you still need a sum of 500,000 naira to obtain a driver license with a full concentrations if you don't wanna fail and be sent back home. Imagine you never know this and you came over, and nobody to give that to you, then you will end up doing penny penny job to save up, while you have to pay for rents every months and eat as well.

My advice to you is that, be sure of whatever you're coming here to do and confirm all the requirements if you're coming on direct employment visa, especially if you sponsor yourself.

Also people who are coming on tourist visa, don't think you can only get work by searching, you need connection or money to buy work from people, or else you will walk tired and house rent will be counting.

This is my own exeperienced so far, don't blame me if it is different from yours, I live in Abu Hail, a place full of Cameroonian and other countries like Kenya, I'm planing of moving out to somewhere else as soon as I start working.

Paradox44:
Sorry bro,the PCC,is it gonna be stamped twice cos mine I did in pH was stamped onnce and they said it was stamped from Abuja cos I did it in police headquarters in Port Harcourt pls clarify me

If it is stamp in Abuja I believe they must have signed it from the right place, you won't need to go there again. What about foreign affairs? You need to take your PCC there too.....if you don't understand any of it that may left, take it to UAE embassy for attestation, if they attest it for you, then you're already did all the neccessary things.

Canterbury:
Guys please this unpleasant gist of every visa processing ending in Abuja is it true, please who have confirmed this. I mean what someone said earlier every visa is to be collected at Abuja. Please who has a concrete information on this?

Man accept the fact, there is no other way around it, either visiting or employment visa you will surely go Abuja for remaining process, all that left now is agent can only get people a work and start processing of the employment visa over there, but surely it will never be done without going to Abuja embassy for medical check up which they only recomend in Abuja, biometric and interview also attestation of documents. No more electronic visa from Dubai that will be finalised on arrival, every applicant must finished up their processing in their country as long as UAE embassy is available in their country.

I started my employment visa last year December hoping it will take only two weeks as normal processing everybody do, for God so good it end up three months before I'm able to collect my visa, anyway I still thank God Alhamdulillah.

Don't be afraid yours won't take up to that, all the changes are already been made, so you know what you're up to, unlike me every changes were changing over me, even I had two UAE stamp that cost 18k each on one document (PCC) which is equal to 36k, now lucky you it has been change to just one, anyway all you need is prepare yourself well since you know whatsup...goodluck brother...there might be a big chances waiting for you over there, don't waste time.

lovere:
Eh eh m, it's not easy oh. But God pass them oh.
It took me more than 6 months to get the license after several attempts and fails. If you think you were driving in Nigeria before abeg just forget am oh. Here the driving culture is totally different.
At the end i spent like 7000aed, but it's worth it.

Which part are you failing please? And do you have their roads sign book? If you have, is there a place online to get a copy? Thanks in advance, I would like to connect with you if you don't mind.

lovere:
Am not sure it would cost more than 4000aed

That's a real shxt!

manneger2:

lovere:

Your Visa is Valid

Btw what was written at the bottom of your Visa?
If it was written this copy is not a valid copy or something similar then you have to take the copy to UAE embassy Abuja with your int'l passport for the issuance of a valid copy.
As I heard currently, any Abu Dhabi issued Visa will be taken to the UAE embassy Abuja for the issuance of Valid copy(that is if not a valid copy is written on it)
The embassy will confirm it and issue a valid copy.
Failure to do this you won't be allowed to travel at the airport.

Yes, that's when another whole processing begin, medical check up and all other require athentication and attestation. And it is after then he can have the valid visa on his passport, goodluck!

olajideolajide:

Go back to the beginning of this thread, you will see part 2 start reading backward from the last page, you will able to gather info you need.
And it's the only UAE embassy in Abuja where they attest documents no other place.

Naturetony1:
Please how did you get the employment visa, what are the processes..

Firstly I know someone over there that find the job for me, and that's all that matter all you need if you don't wanna go and find job for yourself with a two months visa.

Just find someone over there and pay him to find you a job you want, all the remaining process will be done by yourself in Nigeria

spartacus11:
Congratulations
Arab money, Dubai buger

Abi now! Thanks brother mi....make we go hustle now and make money.

chiomaudokanne:
Congrats!
But please, December when precisely
First or second week

Thanks, third week.

If you trust your agent, nothing to worry about, there are lots of people we did biometric and interview together yesterday. Some are still yet to have their visa because their company still yet to update the UAE embassy with their details in Nigeria, they're still working on it, but all the applicants have done all the neccessary things they were asked to do at the embassy, just the company delaying....
Probably your agent doesn't want that, he/she might be taking just one step after another.

fecosequence:
employment visa?? wen u start processing it

Yes, and since last year December.

I'm glad to tell the house, I've got my visa today Alhamdulillah and thanks to all helpers that keep helping on here.

BAY1759:
Yes. The person should be family member or someone that shares the same surname with the original owner(in order to claim relative).

Thanks man!

Hello my people, I want to ask if it's possible for someone to get a letter of eligibility from the ministry of Education on behalf of someone else, imagine the person is already in UAE, he need it for another work.

beekaf:
Please can anyone give a standard update at use embassy fees for attestation of documents.

19k as of last Friday, that was the price we all paid to attest our medical reports.

KennyAsan:
[/color]WARNING!

[color=#000000] Hey everyone, when I wanted to do attestation of my PCC at UAE embassy, I asked on here somebody said it is 36k which is 18k per page. I also called the embassy to ask, which they told me it is 18k but didn't clerified if it is per page or not. Then I sent it to someone I know in Abuja to do the attestation for me, I gave him 18k. When the guy reached embassy that time, he has to called me back and inform me the PCC take two attestaion stamp, which each is 18k. So I had to send him another 18k to do it that day.

But now I'm in Garki hospital waiting to collect my medical report and meeting people from UAE as well, we were all chatting and we talked about attestation cost, which I'm just seeing some people who has only one attestation sticker on there PCC and cost 19k now. Everyone I'm seeing here their PCC carry just one sticker. How come my own will be two sticker and 36k haba! Too much! same sticker one documents that has two page.

And somebody just mentioned that, there is one girl who left hospital complaining about it too, she said she will go and complain at the embassy. I will complain when I reach there too and see what they can do.

I'm just saying for you people just to becareful when you go embassy to do your attestation.

When I reached embassy to complain about the two attestation stickers that cost 36k instead of they're giving people, they said, that was earlier, now it has been changed to one per page 19k, so you're lucky if you're just going to do it.

Also Garki hospital medical report only take three days after all the test has been done, but they will tell you one week.

nattybanta:
Thanks for the update

You're welcome

samac:
Can't I do the medical here in Lagos and also the 37k does it include the stamp at UAE embassy

Don't ever try any other hospital other than the three they recommends, or else it will be a waste of money for you. Some people tried it and they rejected it.

37k does not include the UAE stamp, you have to pay for another 18k for the attestation.

chiomaudokanne:
Were you contacted directly from the embassy to come to abuja Or your agent told you to go?

The agent sent me a application form that has application number to take to the UAE embassy, and I called embassy to confirm if that's the way it is, and they say Yes. But for further process, I must show up with my documents, especially passport.

**which means your agent must first give you something to go present at the embassy.

chiomaudokanne:
Please is it direct employment visa?

Yes

chiomaudokanne:
Greetings house...My agent have been processing my employment visa since 3rd week of January till now no visa is out yet. I contacted him recently he said maybe because of the new dubai laws stuff. This week would make it 8weeks. Is this process normal house?

Yes it is about the processing, the new law has complicated things, I paid my agent since last year December and we are still on it, all that left is at my side now though. He was giving me same stories, that make me confused, but he is somebody I trust, that make things easy for me, do you trust your agent? If so, you have nothing to worried about it will come out, just getting yourself ready for Abuja travel to finish it up.

Naijaonfire:
well I came in on Sunday with 3months Visa from Abuja airport, no OTB was asked. The only thing they asked was my invitation letter or hotel reservation which I had none. I tried to to plead with them that I will lodge in a hotel when I get there since I have my money with me but they refused so I had to go to a cyber cafe at d airport n booked for 2wks hostel reservation. Its a 3 page document that cost me 500naira each to print n 500naira internet charge, something that would have cost me less that 300 outside.my bags were not searched, no other disturbance. So try n book a hotel reservation or get an invitation letter from any of ur guys in Dubai b4 going to the airport to avoid shedding tears.

Happy for you brother, and thanks for the info.

*I want to ask, did you carry more than one bag? Maybe a bag with food stuff, how was it treated if you did.
*And also, how did you go about your yellow card?

Thanks.

spartacus11:
Nice update, will u pay for visa fee again after u have paid agent?

Not at all, my agent and I has agreed to deduct all I spent right here from his balance that remain with me.

You should know things has changed this year, anyone processing visa to go Dubai has to do all the processing in their countries unlike before, so if happened you already paid someone, you need to discuss with the person to refund what you've spend down here. And agent will only responsible for things you do in the UAE embassy,

So this is the update so far, on my working visa processing.
I finally travel to Abuja myself as the embassy required to show up with the application number.
I arrived Abuja last Sunday and went to UAE embassy the second morning which is Monday, I showed them my visa application number as the agent requested me to.

They checked on their system and told me my visa is already with them, but I need to bring a medical report and attested it at UAE before I can able to collect the visa, I've got Police Character Certificate already, and they advice I pay my visa fees before I come back so that won't take another time

There is a three recommended hospital in the guiding book they gave us, and they're now aware that the Turkish hospital is so cost for people, so they started circling the Garki hospital among the three recommended hospital for people to be going.

Garki hospital cost 37,000 and five days for result to be teady because there are lots of UAE people, I can see some people who are complaining that they're still yet to have their result even five days has passed, just about two or three people.

So now waiting and praying I have my result on time.

nattybanta:
There is a 99.99% chance that this isn't correct as the UAE is planning to even Phase out the stickers. you can PM me the documents sent to you for verification as this is never possible.

I actually called the embassy to ask about it, I told them I applied for working visa, and I was given only application number to show at the embassy in my country before I can have the visa. They responds yes it's right. Then I asked if they can check for me if it is ready, and they replied, they can't do anything until I show up at the embassy with my passport and other documents, because they need to check the photo on passport and the info so as not to mistaken it for another person, and that'll be if the company has transfer the application form to them.

Thanks a lot for caring.

And by the way, hiw can I PM you the documents?
