So long as you have your employment card I think you're ok.

Chocoholic

If you can, it's better to go to them direct, even the security guys will tell you if there are vacant apartments. I'd rather this than pay an agent for doing nothing.

Chocoholic

Also hate to say it, but as with all things in Dubai your nationality will play a big part aswell.

Chocoholic

Yeah I have to agree that you have issues. You're going to have to deal with the fact that your ancestors came from somewhere else and you're not the architypical white 'yank' so people are going to ask you if you're from somewhere else. And accent counts for nothing, anyone can pick up and accent i...

But you are totally missing the point! Because these people wouldn't have known they were in the wrong until you told them so! They just go on first appearances, as any of us do.

But if you look Filipino, then people are going to make that mistake and sadly there's not a thing you can do about it.

Chocoholic

That's because there isn't a human side.

Chocoholic

Geez are you going to spam the enitre forum advertising your website?

Chocoholic

erm yeah no-one is going to give free accomodation in this town.

Chocoholic

Very poor! I worked in radio and tv here and the salaries are a joke! Not much more than 10,000 - 15,000 Dhs a month.

Chocoholic

Yes it does, but that goes for most, certainly in my experience here.

Chocoholic

You need to get an NOC or letter of no objection from your current employer.

Chocoholic

YOu've probably been registered as someone who asconded and will have been blacklisted. Check with the immigration department to see what your status is.

Chocoholic

Yeah if you're the walking dead!

Chocoholic

Okay how many times do I have to say this!?

THIS IS NOT A DATING FORUM!!!! Take the lonely hearts drivel somewhere else please for the love of God!

You cannot have another baby out of wedlock here, that's a certainty.

Your other question has been answered recently as someone else had the same situation, have a look through the threads here as it's already been answered.

Chocoholic

There are places to rent now actually in Silicon Oasis, but pretty expensive. Marina is sooooo far away.

Chocoholic

Knock down a dn drag out contest? My kinda game.

That'll be two punches! Me hitting you and you hitting the floor - or not as I'm tiny, but I'll scratch yer eyes out and a quick swift blow to the nuts always goes down well - just like the opponant - hahahaha

Chocoholic

You have to get a work visa under one of the freezones then I'm afriad. Residence/visit visas do not allow you to work.

Chocoholic

erm may I suggest you have a trawl through the expat help section as questions like this have been answered to death recently.

Chocoholic

How long is a piece of string. Your employer should be able to give you time frames on that, seeing as they're the ones dealing with it.

Chocoholic

And what exaclty has your PS got to do with anything? Do we need to know this info? I think not!

Please read through the posts in the expat help section as your query has been answered to death.

Chocoholic

For the love of god people this is not a dating sight!

Chocoholic

Sar,

Yes the Emirates post service no longer exists. Try a company called Index, they have offices in Bur Dubai and Karama 04 3372060 / 04 3550888.

They will do the whole process for you, even the bits this end, you do absolutely nothing apart from pay them.

Chocoholic

It's amazing how people who know nothing about radio b*tch about it! Having done the breakfast show on Radio 1 here for three years, been head of music, head of station and worked for Channel 4, I am very qualified to talk about it!!!! All music is playlisted, that's a given anywhere in the world un...

Chocoholic

It's always the same DK, people who haven't got a clue moaning about it. I bet if you pyt half these people in front of a mic, they'd freeze up on the spot with nothing to say. Yes half the guys here are doing there first radio gig, geez I gave half the jocks on Radio 1 their first jobs and trained ...

Chocoholic

Hey look I can take constructive criticism, in fact I always actively encouraged it. What isn't nice is people just slagging things off for the sake of it. That's just daft. I mean I wouldn't walk into someone's office, sit at their desk and start saying how crap they were now would I? So same same.

Chocoholic

erm well I'd had to say that while the majority of thirty somethings are running round like uni students, the chances of finding someone would be slim. And I'd have to say, that probably they'd be interested in people their own age. I mean what would you have in common? Actually it's kinda creepy.

Chocoholic

But you can at least explain WHY you don't like it! As I said, constructive criticism is fine, slating for the sake of is just rubbish and unintelligent on your part. Tell me what you do, so then I can come and whine about you and the way you do things - HA! Arnie, are you talking about DJ Moe on Ch...

Chocoholic

Ah but parts of SHK Zayed road are 100Kms limit not 120.

If the traffic all went at the same speed it would never get anywhere. It's the morons sitting idling along in the second lane that irritate me, move over you road hogs!

Chocoholic

Yes it is bad. But why would you want to take a baby goat to school in the first place?
