Then what will I do with my Visa I already Got. Got a job there by the Agent already
What type of visa you have ? 90 days single entry or 60 days employment? Is it verifiable?

Shine your eyes, a lot of people are stranded at the Dubai airport all in the name of SOMEONE FROM THE COMPANY WILL COME AND PICK ME

Agents has rendered thousands of people useless here

Yes is party of the condition to get a job, when you are about to employed you go for medical fitness especially your heart, when you pass the company pay for your permit for the next two years as you work with the company, you and the government sign agreement to that effect then the company pay 3000 derah which is about 300,000 naira then the company collect your passport, should you decide you want to go home before two years end you pay the money
Hahahahaha, Baba I've been working in a hotel since 2016 till date, this is my 3rd job in 3 different hotels within the last 3 years. Hotel doesn't seize employees passport, it's against the law, some will ask you if you want them to keep it for you after medical for safety purpose, it's left for you to decide. My passport is chilling in my apartment. Please don't mislead people here

In UAE ur employer seize ur passport as long as you work with him, and you can not travel out of UAE till ur job contract is over. Don’t be deceived
How about those working in hotels, schools, multinational companies etc, do they seize their passport too?

Every people love Nice weather and Cold is not a nice weather.

Sometimes when I say this sun is too hot, others will be saying it's a nice weather.

I imagine how much Americans make in UAE when they will pay taxes to US govt regardless of where they work.

Like I said, People from western countries are not rushing to UAE mainly because of greener pasture.
Ok, if you say so. Let's say some move here because of the weather while some because they got better opportunity. I think that's the best way to end the argument. So wetin dey sup for Ur side. How's Oga Trump

Even in the US, People without papers make 10 to 15$ per hour. That's 400$ to $600 weekly. I'm sure you already know what that is monthly.

Most Americans relocate to UAE not because of greener pasture but mostly for weather reasons.

Daddy, Get Visa come Yankee ooo
Throw more light about the weather condition, cold or hot?

Cos during summer here, you can cook beans outside without fire

I still disagree with you, An American will make more money in Dubai than in America if doing same job

The amount I mentioned is the least anyone in the UK earn and no one no matter their job earn lesser. I know and read stories about UAE a lot and average earnings and the odd jobs people do and feelers is that 300k average is what most immigrants earn and for many people jobs that pay 300k is a dream. Note that there’s hardly any immigrant especially a Nigerian who’ll settle for a minimum wage jobs I earlier stated in Britain when better opportunities are abound. Except those who don’t have papers

This poster in a desperate bid to paint a great picture of Dubai compared it with US, UK, Canada like seriously who compares UAE with world biggest economies where unemployment is extremely low.
Ok I got your point, the reason why many people come to UAE is because the visa is very easy to obtain and also working permit, once you land a job while on visit visa then you're good to go. I don't think it's like that in US, UK & other European countries. You can enlighten me/us. If I can earn more in UK after tax deduction, then na to move there nah.... After all na money matter make man leave 9ja.

Meanwhile let's not accuse OP wrongly, teachers , doctors, engineers etc (professional job) earn good money here. You can't compare them to those who are waiters, stewards, housekeeper, security etc these are mostly the kind of jobs African apply for here

She even used tax as a bait to appeal to people that Dubai is great and comparable to UK, US etc. The take home income of a minimum wage earner after tax in the UK is about £1150 and that’s approximately 520k naira. And that’s for a 40hour a week and no overtime included. I’m certain it’s same in the US, Canada, Aussie and most first world countries. How many immigrants in Dubai earn up to 500k a month? I’m using UK coz that’s where I live and can conveniently make comparisons. Dey here dey paint a useless country as something worthy to consider.

If not that Naija has become a joke I wonder how anyone will encourage if an enemy to move to UAE especially if they can afford to go to Europe or America.
500k is approximately 5000aed

Here people make up to 10,000aed and above, I mean as a basic salary + all the allowances, while some make 1000aed monthly, It depend on your job.

I'm not saying UAE is heaven, anybody wey 9ja don tire can come & try his/her luck, but don't sell your land or properties because you're coming to UAE, the chances of securing a job now is very slim. Indians and Filipinos has taken over

I heard that the reason for this is because

They calculate your salary using what you would have gotten if you were back in your home country to incentivize you To go there

What somebody would be paid in america, and what it would take to get that person to work in the gulf, is not the same as that of Nigeria
Yeah you're somehow right, since 80% of people here are expatriates, they believe you send more money back home

So what's the future of those that overstayed?

Is there any pathway to citizenship?

Does UAE Nationals date Foreigners esp Africans?

What's d average savings in a month ?
No future for those that overstayed, except there's an amnesty. Last year there was amnesty , they were given option to leave the country without fine or get a new 6 months visa to look for job

No pathway to citizenship, even if you were born here still no show

Dating an Emirati might lead you into trouble, so make I no answer that question shaa

Your average savings depends on your salary & lifestyle. For me , I can decide to save all my salary in a month because I was given free accommodation, free transportation, medical, food, internet and postpaid phone .

Meanwhile VICTOR AD say phone dey ring na family dey call o, if e no be billing na something dey sub o, anyhow wey e be money is involvegrin

700k as in Seven hundred thousand naira only for a DL?

30mins break for 12hrs job is too small..

Here for 8/10hrs jobs at factories, You get 2 15mins break and a lunch break of 30mins..

For other menial jobs(excluding factories), You get breaks and 1hr lunch.

For 12hrs factory jobs, you get 3 15mins break and 30mins lunch..

How much does an average person save monthly on an a average job in UAE?

I heard people snatch passports and use it to travel home? Wont immigration detect them OR Africans look alike to UAE people too?

Can you be working at the same time schooling as to move up in career?

Thanks
Many Americans and Europeans are moving to UAE to work because they make more money here than back home. Here there's no income tax and so many benefits like health insurance, house allowance, paid tickets, phone bill allowance, children school fees, car allowance or free company transportation etc

One funny thing about UAE is that your passport sometimes determines your pay

A Nigerian passport holder and American passport will be doing same job but will be getting different salary
