frostmate: You can call immigration directly on their hotline.

True….but I was looking for the easy way to get the info.

justi4jesu: na so me too see am oh.

justi4jesu: Yes i read it on Gulf news and here is the link to the visa fees they will be charging.

http://gulfbusiness.com/2014/08/uae-implements-new-visa-fees-policy/#.U-hhJdySwno

Thanks Most of the sites only give information about the fees. They don't say anything about how it will be implemented and what it entails

justi4jesu: Airlines will certainly book you to cover the period of your visa. Meaning if your visa is for 1month be ready for them to book 1month hotel for you especially Emirates. But if you can search and go through hotels, they can arrange your visa and you just book 2 or 3night stay without even paying yet until you arrive dubai.

As for your 2 or 3months visa to get that one no be here oh...

They dont renew visas here in Dubai only renew Residence permit, Once you visa visa ends you must exit and stay out of dubai for 1month full month before you can re-apply for another dubai visit visa.

Hope this helps.

Justi, do you have any clear information regarding these new visas they want to start issuing? Especially the Multiple entry work visa (Although I heard its going to be restricted to some countries)

Also to the person that tried to send me a mail (sorry I can't remember your moniker), please ask your questions here biko.

finecheek12: @mouchou d heat is not that bad, y u go faint na? abi u b ajebutter? )lol

Lol, babe, me and heat are like petrol and fire. We no dey mix at all at all.........

ken1982: Monchou seriously o....well atleast let d heat go...m sick of it..m just coping...my site is jebel Ali and walking to d x cargo site is messed

Jeez… I can imagine. I avoid going out as much as possible before I faint and disgrace myself one day

ken1982: breadfruit head...nawa...anyway has anyone noticed august is flying past quickly...soon the heat will be over and its beach beach beach....

Exactly! I though I was the only one who noticed the speed with which the days have been going by. its already 7th!

abivic: Please do I have to do attestation of my certificates in both Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education? Is it mandatory to do the two? Thanks

If you are talking about Educational Certificates, I don't think Min of Foreign Affairs will even attest it without it first being attested at the Ministry of Education….

TIDTID: Hi to you all, can someone help on how to get a visa to Dubai or Qatar, I am a registered Nurse with BNSC.

Y not register for the DHA/MOH Nursing exam and sit for it back in Nigeria before thinking of traveling? There are a lot of medical opportunities for nurses here so I think it will be worth it for you.

justi4jesu: Sorry you wey enjoy pass me, spent just 2 days in Oman for Eid and came back to dubai nothing so exciting jor....but the 3days no work sweet no be small.

lol, na you dey reign now o

Anyone thinking of coming to Dubai now should be very careful and take special notice of the kind of visa that will be issued to you……….

justi4jesu: Have you confirmed from Etihad if they now process visa for Nigerians because they stopped long time ago.

Also you can try Emirates but you will fly with them and also they will be in charge of your hotel booking.

Or better still i post a travel agency some pages back you could help yourself and google them for more info.

Babe where have been been? you went to enjoy Eid and forgot us abi?

Soooooooooo,

Regarding the new types of Visas, I read in the newspaper today that they are introducing a Multiple Entry work visa and its going to cost AED2,100 . This is expensive but good. That way people will not be pressured into taking jobs that they regret and which spoils their CV.

Does any one else have further information regarding this?

Rubywoo: Good morning everybody,

Please I got my request for an emergency interview approved.How do I go about rescheduling a new appointment?Thanks

eazylion01: I want to use this medium to thank everybody that contributed to my question on here,i got my passport and now in Nigerian,feeling so alive.

Thank God for you.

worry359: Advice for using Nigerian thief agent.
Go to shop & buy a box of matches.
Go out into street, make a pile of your money.
Set fire to your money and watch it burn.

This will be the same as using agent to get visa to Arab countries.
You will loose your money and end up in slave job not earning enough to live or eat.
Not to talk about savings.

Lol, you harsh oh

jimmy4x: Aunty monchouchou, don't give up on me just yet na, u don take style skip my last message o :-)
how are you today??

Lol. I skipped it because all the answers are contained in this thread. Take the time to read back and you will be well informed. or alternatively, click on Justi4Jesu posts

Tesiday: planning to go to kuwait for my PG studies at PhD level. I have so many mind troubling questions which I hope nairalanders will provide answers to through this thread. At the same time I want to know what living and studying in kuwait is like? The cost of ticket to kuwait from Nigeria? How many hours of flight? Availability of Nigerian foods? And if there is any masters or PhD student of kuwait University on Nairaland through whom I hope to get a direct information. Thanks as you respond.

First of all, why Kuwait? I'v come to realize that most Arab countries have a higher preference for western education as opposed to their own local schools. Kuwait is a very rich country but its also conservative. Its not like Dubai where almost anything can fly under the radar.

namqul: @JUSTI4JESU AND MONSHUSHU, PLEASE WEY OGAKPAKTAPATA NOW

He went to London to see the Queen

worry359: As we say very many times.
You have qualifications from Nigeria and are educated.
In U.A.E. and similar arab countries you will still be at the bottom of the list for good jobs!
First white British, Americans & Europeans.
Then Chinese, Indians & Arabs.
Finally black Africans

This is the way that they operate.

While what you say is mostly true, it is NOT applicable all the time. I have seen many Africans selected BEFORE those with white skins. Its this kind of mentality that makes Africans too timid to even aim high and that is why you see many at the bottom of the ladder.

jimmy4x: lol...You are a darling, only God will repay you handsomely for this wealth of info u dished out...
I really appreciate you, this is exactly my tots too, I tot discrimination wud affect all Nigerians like u just av to settle for menial jobs....
Using myself as a case study, I studied architecture and graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University and I have some designs I av worked on and handling at the moment, I can use AutoCAD nd some other softwares too, I can work on sites and supervise construction jobs, I speak and write good English..lol
den suppose fit give me better job na abi wetin u think...

lol.

Like I said, it depends on many factors and the Grace of God in your life. Its left for you to come and try your best. But don't make it a do or die affair. Know what you are willing to settle for.

jimmy4x: Ok, tnx for this, buh what is ur own definition of a 'good job' and good salary in Dubai....?? like what kinda job and what's the salary structure like, is it also possible for Nigerians like us to get these kinda jobs.??

Keep in mind that what is good for A may be rubbish for B. For a person having a masters degree, getting a job that pays lets say 100k will not be acceptable but for someone with only WAEC, 100K job might seem like paradise. So I can't answer your question. Its left or you to decide what kind of job you can settle for. There are Nigerians in this same Dubai earning above AED50,000 and there are too many Nigerians earning above AED10,000 as well. it really depends on your qualification, work experience(yes even your naija work experience can sometimes be valued), how you present yourself AND most importantly the employer (asides the Grace of God). You can't expect an indian employer who owns a restaurant or small business to pay you AED10,000 when he himself might not even make that much. But for multinational corporations, its chicken change.

Come you have to pay me for all this long epistle you have been making me type since morning oh

jimmy4x: wtf!!! if this true, how do u guys now survive there, why are you still there and not return home?? abi na 10,000 AEd or more una dey collect as salary...don't tell me you are enduring this hardship.
U keep telling us how hard life is over there, yet una sef stay there, una no come Naija, what do u av to say to this,
P.S: I'm not doubting you, just wanna satisfy my curiosity.

This is why many people come and end up as Teco boys. when we advise them not to come unless they are fully prepared, they say we are lying, after all we are "flexing'. The fact that some have good jobs should not be used as a yardstick because its not the norm. I didn't say don't come. Just know where you are coming to. Have enough money so you don't get desperate to accept any job that is flung at you. If you are well prepared you will be able to take your time and search for a good job. Also, be very very very skeptical of all these direct employment visa because they rarely end well.

jimmy4x: lmao.....hehehe, wahala dey o, thank you sooo much for this enlightenment, I'm in a dilemma ryt now, shey na rice person go kon take all hin life chop, wen dem dey sell tuber of yam here #150, my mama dey supply me palm oil, clean one for free, stock fish, dry fish nd snail, I dey do shakara even for house....you have made it really easy for me justi, God will bless you, na to go find very big leather box take load some of ds Africa food wey go last me like d 3 first months.
One of my friends uncle told me to come see him today, he said he nd his friend do secure job for pple b4 going nd even accommodation nd dt none of dem get less dan 100k in a month as salary
na wetin Graduate asst.dey collect for Oau b dt na or lesser dan dt sef.
To confirm his words, i saw d salary structure of one of the guys he helped, security man earning 2200 AED
that wud be like #99000 if 1 aed is equivalent to #45

Dubai is not like Nigeria. We keep announcing it but una no wan hear. with 100K you can survive reasonably in Nigeria. In dubai money blows fats. You think you can survive on that but when you get here and see the reality you start complaining. Also, don't be deceived by whatever salary structure you see. Very very few security men earn up to 1,500aed talk more of 2000k. Read back on the thread and you will see their stories. They tell you there is free accommodation but have you seen what they call accommodation? its worse than a pig sty.

jimmy4x: 4k aed is like 180k, is ds for a month or a year??
if its for a year, still reasonable, is it like a sef con with toilet nd bath nd kitchenette or just a room??
I can get 2 of my friends or one nd we divide the money.
I pray its for a year o.

lol, a year ke? its for a month.

Jeez, why so many blocked posts??

Rohzeez: but pals........d money is too much in nigeria money

Dubai is expensive. Beautiful but very expensive. If you don't have a good job here its not worth it.

justi4jesu: You see how some persons can be? A word is enough for the wise. SMH

And pls stop disturbing me on bbm and whatsapp for dubai trip because I dont have or know anyone that can help you. If you like tell me all the stories of how u are suffering back there in Nigeria and money is not the problem if I will help you. Sorry I wont.

Note: Am a Big snub wen I want to, so keep calling me names.

Anukpam#

hahahahah Justi you have suffer no be small hahahhahaha a chei

eazylion01: and i have been working for 5 months,i can't continue again,even if i am to pay half of my salary for 3 months,i will,but the 3kaed is too much,besides they didn't fulfil all what they promised,i complained about the accomodation before going for exit and they promised to renovate before i come back,but its the same thing..

Sorry to hear about your predicament. Anyway like Justi said it's very easy. Walk to the police station cry and tell them u r tired. You want to go back. Shikena. The issue people have is that after they get their passport they start thinking of hustling around for another job. If u r willing and ready to go back home just do as justi4jesu has said. #dazall

worry359: What about husslin round on streets looking for work, no funds to go in shops!
What about all the people working on construction jobs! No air con there!
Then go home to sleeping with ten men in a room, how hot is that going to be?

We hear of 100 Nigerians in those conditions for every one in an air conditioned office?

That is why we advise everyone to do proper research before coming. If you feel you can't stand the little heat involved in walking from the train station to an office building then don't come until the weather is cooler…

If u feel u can't stay with 10 men in a room, then save enough money to rent your own room (about 4k aed)

justi4jesu: @ ALL
