tyslimmie: The Same way the gurus in the house have always spoken about. I got a month( please in all your getting, get the 3 months visa) tourist visa to Dubai, when I got there I prepared a cv and I hit the street searching for jobs. I also broadcast my cv on dubizzle and did a lot of PRAYING. God answered my prayers and gave me a job, came back to naija to wait for my employment visa and I got it yesterday.
PS: PLEASE DON'T ASK ME HOW I GOT THE TOURIST VISA.
Congrat bro! Na under freezone or Labour u get the job?
Toby77: I heard you can pay a fine of 750AED to avoid the exit visa change from Dubai, in other words you pay a fine of 750AED to stay while they process your employment visa, how true is this?
I dont think its true
Once your (tourist)visa expires, for the first day you"ll be fined 300aed. After the first day you"ll be charged 100aed everyday as long as your still in Uae
If your visa expires in uae , you don become TEKO
This is how it works when u get a job: ( 1) Your company can process the visa for you while your still in Uae( but it has to be within the validity of your tourist/visit visa)
Now when your employment visa is out, your company can book a flight ticket to Oman or Kish island for you( for the visa change). You exit with your tourist/visit visa and come in same day again to uae with your employment visa.
If your company doesnt wanna book a flight ticket to oman or kish island for visa change, your company can pay some fee to Uae immigration and you will have your employment visa/passport stamped by the immigration without exiting the country( thereby changing your visa while in Uae)
OR
(2)Your company may tell you to exit the country(go back to naija) , after which they will process you employment visa and email the copy to you
My advice to anyone going to the Uae to search for job. Please if you cant get VISA AT HAND in Uae , please make sure you sign more than one OFFER LETTER from different companies , before you exit . Just incase company(A) dosent process your employment visa , Company(B) will
Glory be to God. We dey expect you. What kind of job
Yea his lucky, but its not difficult. Anyone can get a job under 7days in uae and even sign an offer letter under the same 7days( with determination)
But the issue is wat kind of job is it. Cos i know with a month visa the individual is under pressure, am might be pressured to sign any contract , just to get the PATAKA
Toby77: One more thing while booking with booking.com..., how long does it take for it to cancel itself? Would you advise I make the booking exactly the same day I intend to hand in my application at the DVPC..... also would they call the hotel to verify
Yep, make it the same day you intend to hand in your application at the DVPC
I dont think they would call the hotel. They just need a proof that you have some where to stay. Besides its not required by uae immigration
Toby77: Hmmm you make good point about the refund, although with the agent they make it sound like it's impossible I get rejected. I would give emirate a trial and give the feedback here. Thanks you have been very helpful
Your welcome
Dont forget to write your feedback here, as it would boost the moral of intending visa applicants who wants the DIY way
worry359: Only the agent can answer that. I would want the agent to put any refund details in writing before parting with a penny. Even then can you be sure? Can you afford to loose the money if it goes wrong?
Thats why i recommend Emirates, cos you only have 188$ to loose , if been rejected.
But its rare for your visa to be rejected, if your using Emirates as sponsor. Though the visa application is not 100% guaranteed. But i think with Emirates you can be rest assured your visa wont be denied, once you meet their eligibility criteria And besides Emirates is owned by the government of Dubai
Toby77: With emirates, I qualified with there previous travel history criteria, as I have have a UK visa stamp in the last 2 years. My fear is that I heard that emirates, even though they say they do 3 months visa, I don't know if I would get the visa because am just 27 years and they expect a confirmed hotel booking for the full 3 months. The airfare alone is about $1000 plus $188 processing fee. Agent is charging me $900 for visa fee to do the 3 months visa plus cheapst airfare ethiopian is about $450. The thing am afraid off is to buy a confirmed emirates tickets and for some reason be denied the visa, otherwise emirates is pretty straightforward.
For hotel booking , go to www.booking.com ( Its book now and pay later)
As long as your using Emirates as your visa sponsor, if your visa application is denied , your money for flight ticket will be refunded
There is no age restriction for 90days visa, except your a female below 25years(you need to be accompained). Or a student student ( you need to be accompained or you need approval from parents)
What if you apply through the agent and your visa is rejected , will the agent refund your 900$
Toby77: Am currently procuring the visa through a reliable agent. As much as they preach DIY here it's virtually almost impossible for a job seeker here to get a 3 months Dubai Visa on your own especially if you are below 41 years. The requirements through the channels advised on the first page are too stringent
There no age restriction for 90days visa, except if your a female( below 25 years) you need to be accompained.
As for DIY, its not difficult. Though it seems a bit hard for first time travellers to Uae . Most visa agency in uae require security deposit before they process your visa , same as Emirates airline , Ethihad or Qatar airways. This requirement is for visa applicants that dont have a uae entry/exit stamp or who havent travelled to Uk, Schengen area etc.
If you use a visa agent for the 90days visa , you might pay close to 200k just for the visa or you may even pay more. Why the cost? cos the agent will charge you a repatriation fee or security deposit.
The danger of using a visa agency. I believe all visa agency in uae have a yearly visa quota, and once they reach that quota they cant sponsor anymore. But the sad thing is that they wont inform you they have reached there quota , they will collect your money and later inform you that your visa application has been rejected by the immigration.
Toby77: If am booking with emirates, how does one do the confirm hotel booking thing? Does it mean I have to book for 3 months in an hotel? Abeg someone should please help me here. the visa costs just $188 through emirates
If its hotel booking you need , go to www.booking.com They will send you a confirmed hotel booking to your email ( You dont have to pay , its book now and pay later) Print out the confirmation letter from your email, and submit to dvpc
During a Q&A in the US yesterday. Asked by a white journalist how he intended to deal with issues in the Niger Delta, particularly Amnesty, bunkering and inclusive development.
president Buhari said;
"(Going by election results), constituencies that gave me 97% can not in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5%. I think these are political realities. While, certainly there will be justice for everybody but the people who voted, and made their votes count, they must feel the government has appreciated the effort they put in putting the government in place. I think this is really fair.'"
splashbaby: And children of anger took it to the united nation... Clueless silly betrayal... Been on this useless project for more than half a century... Shameless sore losers... I hate and dislike the Igbos for this useless past time.

ugsams: Please guys i want to open a bank account here in the UAE, I will like to have some suggestions on the bank to use, the charges, advantages or disadvantages of the banks. Monchouchou, Justi4jesu and other members that are residents of UAE
You might be suprised that most banks in UAE won't open for you, cos your a Nigerian. That's their new banking policy, only a few will accept you, like Emirates nbd ( you need a salary of 5,000dirhams to open a savings account) , for Dubai islamic bank( i think you need a minimum of 3000dirhams for savings account, for doha bank u 2000dirhams.... ARE YOU A RESIDENT? COS IF NOT YOU WON'T BE ALLOWED TO OPEN... YOU NEED ONLY 3 DOCUMENTS TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT ; 1.) your original passport , 2.) your emirate ID, 3.) your salary certificate..... Are you an employee? if yes, i think your company should open a salary account for you. Its there obligation to do so.
Nigeria is a member of the UN Security council, which means that if a coup happen in Nigeria , the U.S will be involved. No millitary head of state would like to engage in a battle with the U.S army. This is not the 80's or 90's
ogene007: How can a man who couldn't pass his exams stabilize oil market.How can a man under whose watch 25 billion was missing when he was PTF chairman fight corruption. How can a man who does not believe in the judiciary and free speech (decree 2 & 4) provide the so-called change that APC are singing about. How can a man who said that BH are freedom fighters solve the BH issue in the north east other than to call the BH murderers to go back to their farms since their aim had been achieved. GEJ remains the only viable alternative to move nigeria forward.
1. Everytime a Yorubaman decamps or give hints of leaving PDP, ASO Rock cant sleep. Example...Jonathan is begging Alao and Obanikoro not to leave. He sent SE Governors to go and prostrate and beg Baba for Yoruba support.
When Ibo, Uzor Kalu, left PDP no one missed him, in fact they didnt want him back and he begged PDP to be accepted back.
Jonathan has not been making the rounds for Eze or Igwe endorsenent in Iboland.....their endorsement is buy one get two free, they come cheap!
2. Ohaneze killed Presidential interest for any Ibo aspirant and told them and their supporters to fall behind Jonathan 100%. You would think Jonathan would have sense to fight in PDP for the nnomination of an Ibo candidate for his VP in 2015,... no??
If Jonathan is clueless is Ohaneze suffering from bipolar that they ignored to obtain a deal for that coveted spot?
Why is Ibo upset that Yoruba outsmart you by locking a deal with Buhari and getting the VP spot in APC?
Were you not invited to join APC merger and you refused? In fact if you had joined maybe Okorocha would have secured enough population backing and delivery in his bloc to convince Yorubas to give him the APC crown....or at worst sponsor him to join the ticket as Buhari's VP, a guaranteed Ibo Presidency in 2023!
3. The stakeholders of PDP are Westerners and Northerners, there is no one Ibo PDP member that is a national force...they are all boyboy.
Yorubas are abandoning PDP, Hausas are abandoning PDP...meanwhile Ibos are killing their own homegrown APGA and decamping to PDP.
Example....Peter Obi, Uzor Kalu.
4. Why is Jonathan the one running around trying to hold the party together, what the fvck is Nnamadi Sambo doing?
Sambo cant do anything! His popularity in North is local to only Kaduna and in just one constituency.
So then who is going to deliver the North to Jonathan....is it going to be Peter Obi? Hahahahaha, I laugh in fura de nunu!
Dude, you are already in restraints and slaving to Yoruba but yo dont know it. Tinubu is about to even turn the knot tighter and introduce IGR in Abuja when Buhari and Osinbajo ascend that throne.
Ibo will be mules in Abuja the same way Tinubu turned you all into economic mules to produce and sustain local govts in Lagos State.
Bloody national slaves.....sweating and slaving for Yoruba in Lagos, slaving for Ijaw in Port Harcourt, slaving and loosing for Jonathan and Sambo in Abuja, slaving and dying for Hausa in Kano.
Ooh, you all love to hear me talk, I delight in running my tongue! ...
Ill be right back, Adadigbo, Chinyere wants me to cuddle and kiss her....
Your a Fuuul.... come 14feb 2015, buhari will loose. Its Gej till Buhari stabilize oil market
MayorofLagos: You can be a bush man or an hottentot for all I care.... Yoruba is coming to colonize and rule Iboland.
The Osus that escaped Iboland for solace and comfort in Yorubaland shall return as Kings over the land.....courtesy of Oduduwa! They are in training....they speak Yoruba but they are not of our race and dont have anything in common with us...but they have been grromed in our political intrigues.
Join them or get out of the way, who cares who you are?
