I'll be moving to Dubai in the mid October and I'm after some advice regarding getting a car. Feel free to move this if it is in the wrong forum. I will be initially here for a year on a 12-month secondment but the likelihood is that I will be here for another 2 years after this. What would you sugg...

I have friend who is moving to Dubai after me later this year. She is moving from the UK and is currently a recruitment consultant. When she moves she will be looking for a job and will require a Visa to be supplied. Her only requirement is that she would like to earn about 7 - 10K AED a month. Her ...

Hi people

Can you fish from Dubai Marina? I've just got hold of some property out there and was wondering if anyone fishes from the marina. If so what fish are available?

Do you see anyone fishing from the land (not in a boat)?

oh well - never mind.

So how long is the visa valid for when you come over as a tourist?

Hi Sage and Onion

I have tried searching but there is too much info conflicting.
Could you answer this for me:

If she comes over to look for a job can she do this on a toursit visa?
How long is the tourist visa valid for?
What's the difference between a tourist and a visit visa?

Sorry - just seen the sticky.

Yeah - thanks matey.

Can anyone give me some info on Housing Tax please? I've tried searching but cannot find much on it.

Just need to know:

What it is?
How much?
Who has to pay it?
Etc?

Thanks for your time.

Ok thanks - so just to confirm. The DEWA bill will be in my name on the property I am just about to rent.

Does that mean that DEWA will slap this on on top of my bill? That would be quite expensive.

Rental is 95K AED for the year.

XPClone

Will the DEWA bill break this down - will it show on the bill?

Hi Guys Xmas is obviously not a recognised holiday in the UAE. So what do you guys do if you want to take holiday at this time? Do you find it a problem to get time off at this time of year if you work in UAE. Also I would assume that many UK expats would be wanting to go back to the UK at this time...

Thanks S&O

I contacted the leasing agent and she said she was not aware of anyone having to pay this tax in Dubai and she rents and does not pay it. She said it was just those who have received housing from the government?

Is this right?
Does everyone pay it? Very confusing???

Hi Guys This is aimed at UK expats - I need to get my health cover sorted before I leave for Dubai next week. I have to pick up my residency visa when I arrive. My question is - where should I sort out the medical cover. Should I do this in the UK before I go (10 days) or should I do it in Dubai? I ...

I have medical cover included in my package (this is just a value in DHS per year) - but I need to sort out the what cover I take out. Should I sort this out from the Uk or do it in Dubai? How long does it take - I assume I have to have a medical? When does this need to be done. I leave for Dubai in...

I have an apartment sorted in Dubai Marina (1 bed apartment). I have some questions on the DEWA connection. I tried calling them but they were of no help. 1. Would the water and electricity be working in the apartment? Its a new building (The Waves). 2. If not I will have to activate it very soon as...

If you select the UAE and select that you are a citezen of the UK - it says the visa is valid for 30 days. I thought this was 60 days???

You have the Greens and Dubai Marina.

I'm working in the Internet city and have just got a 1 bed apartment in Dubai Marina for 95K AED per year.

Hi PMS I moved to Dubai this week and found my accomodation last month. I too was set on living in the Greens - but when I saw it I wasn't very impressed with the quality. I saw 3 places in total in the Greens and may have been unlucky with waht I saw. Speaking to other people around the Media City ...

What is the chiller cost???

I'll have a look for some pics for you. In regards to the cheques required - you will find that many landlords will now try to get just 1 cheque for any properties under 100K AED. If you PM me your email address I should be able to send some pics of the empty apartment that I took when I viewed it. ...

I changed my license the other day and there a was women there who only had a paper version. She got her's changed no problem.

Its a tax that is put on your DEWA bill (Water and Elec). Its to cover rubbish removal etc. Its 5% of your rental amount for the year and payable monthly in your DEWA bill.

If you own the property then its a small percentage of the total value of the property.

Its tax and its a princess!

I've got 2 gay guys living next to me! Its a one bed apartment too!
