good question! Yes, when working in AD is would be relevant, it would fall under the heading "transfer of sponsorship". Federal Labour law (to which AD subscribes) states that if you were to try and transfer sponsorship from one employer to another there are a number of criteria to be met ...

pm me with the specifics and i'll send you an answer.
short & sweet, do the paperwork before you come or you will not be able to sponsor them

depends if you are a uae national or not. if you are under the sponsorship of your father and male then 21 years. if you are under the sponsorship of your father and are femal - then as long as you remain unmarried you are supposed to reside under his roof. the lowest legal age for job seekers is 18...

Okay, here comes the crunch! I’ve only heard of a similar situation once before. If memory serves me the query was posted in the gulf news for the labour law expert to answer. As far as I can remember the situation is as follows: a) If they refuse to change the position on the visa and you refuse to...

Job titles and labour classes/ categories. There are sometimes legitimate reasons for being classified under the wrong profession, for example where there is a translation error “Office Manager” becomes “Office In Charge” or where the exact job category does not exist “Receptionist” becomes “Secreta...

no. the law requires that your sponsor (in your case as a non-national/ expatriate) be resident in the country as well. the sponsor would in most cases be your father, but in the case of single parents a mother or legal guardian. you could apply for a student visa, in which case you would have to pr...

The budget is between 18 and 24 months old, not sure exactly. To be on the conservative side of things I’d add 25 - 30% onto the figures for accommodation and education. The rest seems to be about the same to within about 5 – 7%

A friend of mine runs a company (non free zone) and has been having a rough time with his local sponsor. He wants to get all his staff off the sponsors visa and onto a freezone visa since he's set up a new company there. But the problem is that the sponsor hadnt applied for labour cards for 7 of th...

how long have they been in the country and without labour cards? according to law they were supposed to have been issued thier labour cards within 30 days of entry into the UAE. it seems very strange as the labour and immigration processes are normally run in tandum and completed at the same time. i...

? that's what i mean, your governement health card, which is mandatory. they are looking at making private medical insurance (such as BUPA) mandatory and dropping the health card system (they've been talking about if for the last 2 years odd) - removing the health burden from the government and plac...

well they are definilty going to ask them how they managed to support themselves for the past months, secondly they will see that the same sponsor has sponsored them for residency and possibly put 2 and 2 together...

yes if you have no sponsor in the country. you would then have to enter and reside on a student visa, else get a job and a work visa

depends on your arrangement with your employer as to how and what housing allowance you get - and how they pay it. the easiest may be to get a local bank account on arrival, they'll give you a cheque book and simply make out 3 or 4 PDC's for the rent - this is how most rental transactions take place...

here's a first! i've never run across this type of senario before: Article 37 A worker may be employed on probation for a period not exceeding six months, during which the employer without notice or severance pay may terminate his services. A worker shall not be placed on probation more than once wi...

well considering buj dubai is no where near completion yet, i doubt you'll be moving in anytime before the middle of next year or (as projects in the region normally go) the end of next year. i did find an add for an appartment in the burj dubai for 3.7 mil (AED) - based on that the rental would be ...

I have heard the Marina is a good place, though was warned off as the road infrastructure would not meet demand when the development was completed. If my source was wrong, please let me know as like I said I did like the Marina.

this applies to EVERY development in dubai...
