I intended doing the course since I know Autocad so I can apply for draftsman job if I enter UAE. So I was told to do a 2 days course on interrior design, instead of landing UAE and start doing menial jobs, so it's better when I land I do the interrior design course then start applying for draftsman job or Interrior designer. Mind u I have Hnd civil engineering.
Pls can this be obtained

Those kind of jobs demand more of UAE experience than certificate. Like I usually say though, certificates increase your chances of getting employed. They don't guarantee it.

Yea, that was quite insightful. Thanks a lot for your invaluable updates on this thread. Additionally, I'd like a reality check: is Dubai still worth it for low-level jobs? Bro you dey there, abeg no try sugarcoat am — local man can't come and go and waste his little money.

Lastly, can you give an idea of the amount the 'legit guys' that hook people up for job charge? Much thanks.

There are no "legit guys" hooking people for jobs. It's just normal information. Some may be true, some may not be. Even if the person is HR, he cannot be employing every day or every week. If I tell you there's vacancies or interviews somewhere, that's hook up right? But it's another thing for you to be employed among the others.

Is it true that while u are looking for job in UAE, going for interview walking tirelessly, if any company accept u, that u must pay 4000aed to agent befor the company will accept u. Is it true

Very true. Also one must be circumcised during medicals whether you have done it before or not so as to get the real Emirates ID. Then one has to drink Albab boiled feaces during deposit of first salary to the UAE bank. What else? Everything you hear is very true brother.

Let me join the legit guys, 300dirhams for anyone seeing the post.

Humm

Because UAE's visa is easy I see people that doesn't have skill or professionals flocking to Dubai for greener pasture,some won't even make research. I worked in UAE for 6 months in Ajman. The work na die,it's not easy to get jobs in Dubai. Most companies would rather employ paki,Nepal,Indians etc. Nigerians too much problem. Pls advice for anyone intending to go to Dubai,don't go there with ur last "card",if u don't have sponsor back in ur home country or plan B. And if u are thinking of crime,their security is top notch. You will be caught in no time. Besides stay off Arab girls,they are hard to come across anyways. Uae is fun if u are loaded with cash,not for struggling hustlers. I am looking forward to go back this year

I will like to do Autocad course, since am skilled in that field, so I can apply as draftsman. I see many vacancy online as draftsman. Does it mean that they won't give me the job
I even received an email to attend interview as draftsman in one of the job I applied for, but I told them am not in UAE. And they said they prefer one that is in UAE.

can someone move to dubai with his wife and start a biz, ? with freelance visa

how much would it cost

You can sponsor your wife visa after obtaining your own visa.
When starting a business, after making your payments, you are entitled to an investor visa

Why is Dubai Visa so expensive as this?
Even the likes of UK, US, France et al Visa is not up to 350k nothing less than 40k

Someone is telling u agent price and u are saying is too expensive, can agent run American visa for 400k, that fee u seeing there is the agent own, u even see people tackling the guy that is too much, Dubai visa is cheap but because u can't apply on ur own u need agent that's why it look as if is costly, first agent, the main company that applied for visa all have Thier cut.

Oga, that money is too much. Some of us know the actual cost na. Even if we can't give these guys money, let's help them with info. Thats what Indians, Philippinos, Pakistanis, etc do. Did you just compare US (2years Visa) with UAE 3 months? On what basis na?? Opportunities or duration

xule20:

Why not use your Nigeria banking app to get the visa?

I logged into my gtb account and I saw the UAE application but my concern now is , what's the success rate as I don't use the gtb account often and what are the criteria ?
I saw 3 months for 163k+

I now emphasized that american agent cant do american vist visa for 400k was i comparing the 2 country. don't quote me if u can't read pls,

True, the agent set the price high cause they know their way around it but tbh, these lot are charging double the visa fee . I'm not saying they shouldn't add their own to it (profit) , I just feel this price is out of the world

Yea u are right, problem is dubai don't made it possible for u to apply on ur own like us and other European countries do, visa fee is small is around 200 to 600 dirham depending on type of visa

my brother believe in your dreams, you don't need anybody's validation to take any action regarding your future, the cautious warnings given here by people in Dubai is for people to manage their expectations when coming to Dubai, I know three of my guys over there who got good jobs, favor might locate you over there and you getting interview dates in Nigeria is a good sign, all in all be prayerful and work hard for your dreams bro

Legendguru:


Nobody will find you a job in dubai .its still the same old process .i was there back in 2009 you entered with a visit visa you go out there on the street to look for job yourself. You might be lucky to get one within a week and you might not even get one till your visa expires .i got about 4 offers within 2weeks then even some companies came from Saudi Arabia to recruit staffs and fly them out the following day with offer letter . The process hasn’t changed much. Just the visa fee 3month visa official price is around 180k when you do the conversation this includes the sponsor fee but as for nigeria agents you expect them to markup. Accommodation is also expensive but they put you in shared space hostel like room with other tourist looking for jobs !

As for those still going to dubai (UAE) and Middle East countries I advice If you really want a better life for yourself you don’t go to such places to seek greener pastures save enough money if you really want to leave nigeria and move to western Europe US or canada. The labour laws in the Middle East doesn’t favor workers and the pay is so low that by the time you spend upto 10 years will just be surviving without tangible achievements!

They won't wanna here this. Until some jobless "Teko" guys, who they call "long time friends" in UAE use their money chop Chicken biryani and Parata. Most of these guys make over 100% from whatever they charge for VISA. That's why they are everywhere encouraging you to come join them. They know you will DM them from Nairaland. It's so rare to see anyone who is employed in UAE have much time for social media, let alone Nairaland. So be careful of all sweet talks. Some also need the money you will pay them for accommodation to survive.

I've been to all the Emerates, so make one Albab boy no think sey I no know what I'm saying...

If you must consider UAE, make sure you deal directly with the company, and that u have a sure job waiting. You don't want to work like hell just to raise money for Visa change, every 3 months. It's even tougher living without a Visa... U will wish u never travelled. This no be Europe or USA, Arabs and Indians aren't smelling!

Europe, Canada, US, etc are not easy too, money don't grow on the streets, but then, the odds are pretty high.

Make no agent call for my neck o. It's also my duty to say the truth from my perspective.

I visit nairaland mostly when I'm at work

UAE is tough but I will never discourage anyone from coming before they will tag me enemy of progress.

If you must come; you need to have plan A - Z.

Don't say when you get to the bridge you will cross it; that's not applicable here.

You have said it all without leaving anything out bro!
Yes it might work for some (those that went earlier and with good handiwork / IT skills) na this people dey enjoy Dubai(small) Now.
But you dat will just wake up, give one broke agent all your life savings, for one ghost job, i have nothing to say to you cus "Experience" they say is the best teacher.
If you talk too much dem go say ehn "let me go and try first my own will be different" or everything in life is a risk" MY BROTHER GO AND TRY! Then you will know all dose motivational speakers dat say dey built an empire with just $100 re big scammers!
Bottom line is, if you can raise upto 800k to go to Dubai to hustle where if Konji catch u sef u no get hope, u can as well raise a sizeable amout to go to Europe at least where it's just a stepping stone for the "almighty US" as people see it.
