tunnex190:
Good morning, please I need advice here. I gave my agent 5hk to process direct employment visa for me but he finally gave me tourist visa I did not agree with initially but after persuasion that they are working over there to get a job for me. I agreed as my agent personality is involved. Some days to go, my agent and her husband who orchestrated the Dubai visa processing said they were also going to Dubai to make things easy for us- (we are 3 people travelling with them). We all agreed but when we get to the airport, out of 3 first timers, 2 of us were delayed by immigration officers to missed the flight because of BTA that we said we didn't have whereas whole plan was orchestrated by the husband (he had already collected my bta so i wont be forced to give immigration) so that we won't have to pay immigration 200usd they said they normally collect from first timers. So after some days (13 days) at the airport waiting the three who had gone to work on rescheduling of ticket, they were forced to buy another ticket for us (all this 'a fi ike te ticket')as they claimed. We got there finally and now to work on the employment, they said I must pay 2000 dirham for the job I have not seen its offer letter to sign. These st.u.pi-d couple just lock up for me saying I must pay but I am playing it cool with them.
Please is this money proper? If yes, is it up to that amount? If yes, then when is it proper to pay it?

These are the things I read that makes me consider deleting my nairaland account completely. Apparently all the advice we give here just enters one ear and flies thru the other.

I dont even pity you. Continue dashing them your money. They are using your money to enjoy themselves in dubai. Either they give u a job as a cleaner or labourer with 90k salary or you get nothing after wasting almost 1 million. You are still asking us if your should give them more money? You couldn't tell you were being scammed from the beginning and I don't expect you to be able to recognize that they are still scamming you now.

I have limited knowledge about the Qatar visa rules, guess Drdre1 will be the best person to answer that. Seems weird though that you have a visa for 5 years and work permit for only 2...

justi4jesu:

i barely have an idea. Drdre1 can iron that statement out.

Meanwhile...do you know any genuine travel agent that can procure the 1 month extendable visa? it,s like etihad and emirates no longer issue such visas.. and how can one know the one that is extendable ...sorry 4 for this question but recent changes has necessitated my asking this question......thanks

People can help you if you want things like
Mermaids, or Unicorns,or Dragons.
but honest travel agents for UAE are next to impossible!

To the gurus in the house, a close pal got an uae entry Permit(issued on the 30th of nov/2014) with his sponsor being. Company there(Marmum dairy farm llc). Base on what v read here,the visa should be working one with two years but after checking the entry permit no online and @ the embassy what we saw was just two months. What we both don't understand is that is he suppose to get to dubai b4 the company process the working visa for him. On the entry permit,his profession is Helper(what does that means). Thank as we await una respond

Lol, if I talk now Justwise will say I'v no longer repented from my sins. Are you seriously asking us what helper means? Thats houseboy, maid, cleaner, office boy, etc. Working in a dairy farm you can imagine the kind of jobs he will probably be required to do. Is it really worth it? Cus most times the salary is not even up to AED1,500 (Forget if you are promised much more than that, its usually lies)

An Entry Permit is not a Visa. His Visa will subsequently be stamped on his passport when he lands.

40 days and 40 nights of fasting and prayer will do.

Gooci:


at least if its 1500AED, its still manageable compared to doing nothing for 9ja. me jst think say sometimes, we need to start rough. though i dnt kno the nature of being a helper there.
