lol....Better safe than sorry. The ones we should be glad for are the ones that came in to the UAE without PCC in the first place and mulling at the new expenses to incur a PCC.

I have an Indian friend that lost a job offer of 4,500 because of PCC. Only to get back from India last week with his PCC...Only to hear that Indians are now on the exemption list. Chai.

Poor dude is on the street looking for new job. For someone like him....he will have done anything for this news to just be one week ealier than this.

Wow... I can't imagine how that guy will be feeling right now.

Really feeling for those who have already gone via the stress of obtaining and authenticating the PCC already.

justi4jesu:



Okay first and foremost i don't get information from any agent, I do the process myself and i give the information directly from immigration, they were initially contemplating the Abuja process because people were complaining about it.

Yes the steps your mentioned are correct but e-visas are still being issued as at even yesterday, i will attach one of many e-visas that i got yesterday. But recently, most people prefer the Abuja process because they like to dis-virgin their passport and the visa stamp on their passport makes them feel good which i understand

So some visas are coming full(i.e E-visa paper) the old way while some are coming half to be completed and stamped at Abuja

Also if the person is coming for tourist/visa, he/she does only biometrics and sometimes they ask for PCC. But if the person's intention is to come search


for a job, then they will request for PCC, Medicals and bio-metrics.


Attached Visa was issued yesterday but i will advice anyone coming to go through the Abuja process.

The Abuja process seems quite cumbersome, I think they should stick to the initially process.

........
I STAND TO BE CORRECTED,,,,,,,,,,,, as of 6th February, they changed their rule (from attesting one document of d pcc to 2documents) I was also affected Cus I went with 18k but was shocked wen they told me its two (finger print page and pink page)...........
Things are changing everyday concerning this PCC and UAE job stuff...

Okay nah, as of two days ago, a friend of mine did his and said that --- from MOFA, one now has to go to police HQ to verify d PCC Nd pen down their names,, den police HQ will forward their names to embassy... So if ur name no dey d list;;;;; Kalas for u.


Today's news on AIT, as I was told.. Fg wants to look into the massive relocation to UAE Cus "agents" use that medium to exploit Nigerians....


I STAND TO BE CORRECTED... Shalom

With regards to the AIT news thing, that's completely false. Nothing of such was said. Or maybe it's still on the pipeline, but for now, that's baseless.

Hello everyone (Both in Nigeria and Dubai)

Am currently at a cross road on whose advise to follow while to trying to get a trip to Dubai to work
Someone told me last year to get N950,000 for work visa while another told me this year to bring N1,200,000. But just last week a man told me to get a month visa with N180,000, ticket for about N450,000, then travel and when I get there I will find a job and renew my visa.

Please at those who are there what should I do because even the money is not available I dont want to borrow and get scam again.

Please advise me.

thanks in advance.

From the little I have learnt from people here, getting a 3 months tourist visa is better. Also check wakanow.com for tickets far cheaper than 450k. Carefully read the thread and you will get all the necessary information you need.

sicily4u:


He is talking about security job, u and I know is very difficult to get job with three months tourist visa, even after paying agent fee. So if he is not coming with direct employment visa with that 1m, is better he use it and start business

Well i guess your case is quite different from most testimonies we have gotten here. Meaning that what works for some, won't also work for some other people. I hope you get what you are looking for soon enough

BAY1759:


Nothing wrong with Nigeria passport or first timer in traveling with one way ticket. It is all about the type of Visa you have. Do you have employment visa or tourist visa? If employment Visa...You can fly one way. If you have an emirate ID(resident Permit) already...You can fly one way as well. If you are on tourist visa....respect yourself and book return ticket. You can decide to either open your ticket when you touchdown or cancel the return and seek for refund(Refund policies apply).

Oh, thanks alot.

Naijaonfire:
well I came in on Sunday with 3months Visa from Abuja airport, no OTB was asked. The only thing they asked was my invitation letter or hotel reservation which I had none. I tried to to plead with them that I will lodge in a hotel when I get there since I have my money with me but they refused so I had to go to a cyber cafe at d airport n booked for 2wks hostel reservation. Its a 3 page document that cost me 500naira each to print n 500naira internet charge, something that would have cost me less that 300 outside.my bags were not searched, no other disturbance. So try n book a hotel reservation or get an invitation letter from any of ur guys in Dubai b4 going to the airport to avoid shedding tears.

Good day, Please did you purchase a return or a one way ticket?

BAY1759:


Better as in how? Do Nigerian airports now do better customer service than the other that I didn't know of? In my opinion they all same bag of shit. just go with your accurate/genuine travel document and you will be fine by Nigerian standard.

Apart from work visa...if you are already a resident of UAE(or the country you are flying to)....You can get a one way ticket. If you have a "strong international passport" i.e UK, Western European passports, USA e.t.c You can talk your way out of it at the boarding counter. In some few cases, the airlines will still vehemently refuse but will give you an option to buy the return ticket at the counter to be be fully refunded at the destination counter in case of no problems with the countries immigration.

Hence a first timer with a Nigerian passport can't get a one way ticket? If the answer is positive, please what are the options? Thanks

sicily4u:


Too much problems, I will not advice anyone to waste even 500k coming to uae, better use the money and start up something, am sure 90% will prefer to take the money they spent in coming to uae and return back immediately if the opportunity comes, unless u are coming for vacation and shopping

That's entirely restricted to you.

Some of these fake agents here will even promise to hook you up with another agent in Dubai to get you a job as soon as you enter dubai... Everyone is hustling in this country man lol

Cypha8:
If you meant sending someone to do the attestation for you, then yes.

Oh okay, thank you.

Cypha8:
FYI...

Certificate of Good Conduct is called Police Character Certificate (PCC) in Nigeria. It may have another name in other countries e.g. Police Clearance Certificate.

As far as I know, you can only get the PCC at CID Headquarters, Alagbon, Lagos. Thereafter, it should be attested by MOFA Abuja and UAE Embassy Abuja before coming to UAE.

Please see below for more clarification on the new law coming into effect February 4.

http://m.gulfnews.com/amp/news/uae/government/conduct-certificate-must-for-new-job-visas-from-february-4-1.2154243?__twitter_impression=true

Good morning, please any idea if the attestation in Abuja i.e in the MOFA and UAE embassy can be done by proxy? Regards

America001:
I greet every body. Please I have two questions
1. NonnyG earlier said one needs to authenticate only one's highest qualification. I'm kinda surprised to hear that because people have always been saying they authenticated/attested both their O level and B.Sc cert at the MOE and MOFA as well as the UAE embassy.

2. I booked my flight with Travelstart but now I wanna change the departure date. Please any clues on how I can do that? Thanks all

What he said was: authenticate your O'levels and highest certificates with the MOFA and MOE. But you can then authenticate only your highest certificate be it B. Sc or HND with UAE embassy, just to cut cost. This is because with the UAE Embassy, only your highest certificate can suffice, as that's whats most important. But if you have too much money, you can do both with the UAE embassy.

When you get on ground you see things for yourself. no need arguing with you as this wouldn't make me any Dirhams.

Exactly.

nattybanta:

You praising the review of Qatar Labor law without knowing the UAE Labor Law is my issue. UAE Labor Law has always been better than that of Qatar or any GCC Country. Even after the present review they remain Almost same, It shouldn't be a Nasty and rude response if go back to read the UAE Labor law after you saw my reply to enable you know more since you would be going to UAE for greener Pasture. Don't be a hater we learn everyday,.

Stop being a sisi... No one is hating, don't see anything to prompt me hating a dude hustling in Dubai, all man dey find hi daily bread. My point is, uae are yet to incorporate domestic workers into thier Labour law, as you see in that write up (as I assume you can read), they Said the bill is still pending ratification. My point still is, your response was completely irrelevant.

nattybanta:
What exactly are you talking about?. because am sure you don't know both UAE and Qatar Labour laws. try reading about them before posting what you know nothing about. Don't assume based on Hearsay

Mr man, this is what I am talking about.

nattybanta:
What exactly are you talking about?. because am sure you don't know both UAE and Qatar Labour laws. try reading about them before posting what you know nothing about. Don't assume based on Hearsay

This is what I call not only a nasty but also a very rude response to what I posted. You don't shove people simply because you feel you are previed to certain information than others, if you feel I made a wrong assertion, you correct the person and not assume the person asserting what they don't know. I read something online and also watched it on CNN and expressed my opinion, your response was irrelevant.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/08/24/qatar-new-law-gives-domestic-workers-labor-rights

I hope the UAE reviews her labour law the way Qatar just did. Quite innovative.

Petersamuel8:
I always knew that #5000 is to Small for all this goodies tstv has to offer

He's wrong, try to o investigate what you hear or read online, this guy might even be a dstv agent. Call thier customer care online, go online and check thier numbers, don't let anyone give you, it's 5k. I visited thier agent here in festac this morning.

OP you are very very wrong, it's actually N5, 000. As confirmed from thier outlet here In festac. Go online, get thier customer care numbers and call stop relying on heresay or what some people just post online. OP this isn't fair at all! I almost believed you until this morning, haba

Go with your Originals and also make photocopies, they will sign and seal behind the original document while the photocopied will be stamped,sealed and signed. I have no idea if they accept statement of result in Dubai.

And in the case were your original documents are laminated, how will they put a stamp or sign on it?

NONNYG:
100 to 200k is like the salary of cleaner in a bank here

My point exactly.

DrSleekQas:
If u have a well paid job back home don't com to dubai in the name of hustling, dubai is a place for those that are unemployed back home in Nigeria

The word "well paid" is relative. It's just like telling a banker in Nigeria who earns 100-200k not to come to dubai to hustle because he earns well, noting that job security with private outfits isn't guaranteed in Nigeria, and with time he might earn more than that in Dubai with all necessary basic amenities In place. Point is, if you have the hustling spirit, know your worth and you are spiritually equipped, just follow the leading of the spirit.

[
There should be more to this story. Cos I don't think it's possible you upgrade yourself, shine your eyes well, be efficient and productive at your place of work yet, they just allow your two years kpali to kalas like that. And you sef just siddon dey look, something follow the dude story.

LOL bros he get HSe, authenticate him results, jobs here no be beans or man know man... [/quote]

This thread is really informative, and I must give special kudos to nattybanta and Nonnyg, they always rrespond swiftly regardless of how dumb some of the questions
are. Keep up the good work guys. .

one thing i like about the UAE is that they are very sensitive when it comes to their foreign policy and wont want to be seen in the light of encouraging terrorism or infringe on the sovereignty of any state.

If three months visa can take this long I wonder how long direct employment visa will now take.

In that video the guy said some of them have 2 years visas and all, and the question is how can you get a Dubai 2 years visa without a job, then on what premise were you given the two years visa. I just think it's a case of guys who went with tourist visas and are so desperate to get a high paying job which requires some level of experience or qualification.

With what's going on I just think it's safer one gets a genuine direct employment visa and start from anywhere.

You Nairaland builders are a bunch of thieves. "N9M will only get you to window level downstairs". Are you serious?!!. I will never hire a builder from NL. They are all thieves targeting Nigerians in the Diaspora. Op, don't listen to this greedy bastard. With N5m you can conveniently get to Lintel level downstairs. I did it with that and was hugely ripped off as well by the builders and the suppliers. An honest bricklayer later confessed to me that when I order for 500 blocks, 300 will be supplied and laid before I show up. Making it impossible for me to accurately count the number.
With rigourous supervision it could have cost me N4m. NEVER TRUST ALL THESE SO CALLED BUILDERS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS HERE.

Thank you my brother. When I first visited this site for advise the estimates I was getting was quite outrageous. They will discourage you with over estimated budgets. Right now I am roofing my three bedroom bungalow in Nnewi, Anambra... And I know how much I have spent so far.

SirWellington:
Is it possible to verify your credentials and marriage certificate in Dubai (Nigerian embassy in the UAE) instead of sending it back home for verification?

Someone should kindly address this question, thanks.
