1--What engineering discipline?

Let him do safety courses in Nigeria first or if you want him do it here to boost his chances...
+If possible let him gather small experience in construction safety , well it solely depends on him if he wants it...
Or he can get himself in CADs for MEP designs
UAE experience is needed from Africans from the look of things.
Majority of courses i made enquiries are structured in a part time program.

2-- Ofcourse working is a sole aim of this journey, its even better if he finds a place to work first and starts these courses.

3-- He can still do 90days , start courses , look for a job etc. Till he gets his Emirate I. D
Another limitation maybe distance between course center and Job?

Just let him prepare so well, with enough plans.

Wait for other suggestions too.

This is the Autocad man, to me, I feel it's best to take a menial job first like waiter, store keeper, sales reps, security, house keeper etc.
While on this JOb u can gather money to run some professional courses, and even get lisence to practice
Also it will give chance to choose the area or section u want to start a new carrer,
Finally it gives u the Almighty gulf experience which u need to get higher pay.
This is my own opinion, I stand to be corrected.

Arisukuni:


My great Autocad Man! You have done well with your advice brotherly.

Let me buttress with little more.

For the purpose of people reading this; In most cases when you don't have people to sponsor and you are not financially buoyant it is highly advisable you start from somewhere with menial jobs that have a reasonable salary to start with from there you save up and aim at the professional jobs or other opportunities to move to other countries from UAE. Because if you sit down in one place and aiming for that professional jobs to start with whereas you dont have enough savings to shoulder the cost incurred or you don't have someone to sponsor you.

This will lead to procrastination and at the end you will regret for not taking that risk of starting from somewhere. Whatever menial jobs you will take just make sure the pay is far better from the job you will take in Nigeria. Its only if you have more than enough savings you can be aiming for professional jobs in Abroad.

This is 2020 meaning another decade has started. Stop procrastination. Start from somewhere. The right time is now!

I hope this write up helps in little way.

Cheers!

One of the things people say here is plan very well.
While going to Dubai with 3 months visa, pls bear in mind the worst senero that u will have to pay for accommodation for three months if u don't get and renew ur visa for another 3 months.
My point is, carry extra money to do visa change if ur visa kalsa befor u get job. But remember, no tree for lazy birds. Thank you.

OlakunmiSMELTD:

Good morning guru
Please I need help from your experience

Secondly, is it advisable to go with cash in USD or master card to avoid someone stealing your cash in the room

Ope4Christ:


1. Bed space is 50k per month, but be prepared for two months or till you get job. You are going to be sharing room with others. Forget about comfort but think about survival.
2. Garri, Beans, dry fish, grounded pepper(ata gungun), Maggie or spices etc. Don't bring rice it is cheaper here than Nigeria. Liquid items would not be allowed in any airplane, so would be rejected at the airport.
3. Five shirts and three trousers with few underwear. Come with blanket or you buy here. Clothes are affordable here.
4. Come with USD, Naira is terribly useless here, nobody will be willing to change it for you. You can also come with Master Card but go to your bank in Nigeria to activate online and foregn transaction.
5. Authenticate your certificates at Abuja before coming should there be good offers that require them but some offers with small salaries don't.
6. Get Etisalat or Du Sim and register it at the airport. It is free but you must buy credit for between 35 to 50 Dirhams.
7. Come with enough USD that will take care of you and buy job. We buy jobs here but if you can search for jobs on your own, you might be lucky.
8. Be prepared for change of environment.
9. Best wishes.

Nice tips, please which one is better to enter UAE with to search for jobs? 90 days tourist visa or 2 years residency.

I mean for those who can afford the residency visa, is better for them to go for it and does the residency come with full working rights.

Thanks as I await your response.

Ope4Christ:


Obviously, Resident Permit for those who can afford it. With Resident Permit, you have freedom of choice for jobs, health insurance, can travel in and out of UAE easily, can get Visa to developed economies after about six months which is easier compare with rigorous process from Nigeria. Visa upon arrival to Georgia and Azerbaijan. You can google it for more details.

vickifeanyi47:

Go to the website of your intended Schools and get information on how to gain admission. Once you can get admission letter and have paid your school fees, Visa process is very easy. You will go to Abuja to process your study Visa as soon as your admission letter is ready.

Hope you can afford the school fees? An average Diploma program cost between 26k to 40k AED for one year. Except you have won scholarship.

It is part of UAE vision for 2020, you will be able to study and work on part-time basis as it is obtainable in Europe and US.

Good luck.
