yes, that's the process. so you have already done it.
did you get the original back from your employer or not?

dbxsoul

strange. they may have applied for labour approval on the basis of the copy - they normally require the original. in anycase in order to finally get your labour card you still have to undergo the medical.

take the original attested version with you, may save you a few days and some couriour fees.

Termination and contract type: It depends on what type of contract you were employed under. If it’s a Limited Term Contract then yes, he is correct and you are ending the contract before its date of termination. This means you will have to pay your employer the equivalent of 1.5 months’ salary (bas...

The NOC has no proper format. I would suggest the following though: Your name, passport number and duration of employment with your employer, the registered company name (must be the same as what is on your visa and labour card). The sponsors name and signiture. A single line stating that "I th...

the legal working age is 18
btw, there's no way on earth i'd even consider riding a scooter around dubai unless you want to become a hood ornament

i assume your wife is a teacher or a doctor? the "housewife" visa your'e talking about only grants you residency, it does not permit work. you would have to apply for a work permit through a registered company in order to get a labour card. techincally the issues are NOT related, so yes yo...

Let me jump in as well. Legally you cannot work form home without a work permit, in order to get this you have to work for a registered company, start your own or, as was pointed out get a freelancer visa through one of the freezones. You may not represent yourself in the UAE as a business entity wi...

dbxsoul

the freelancer visa allows you to work from home, but the registered company address must be in the FZ

dbxsoul

that does it. just keep a very low profile

dbxsoul

would cost you a lot more than 70K got a local business start-up, the company has to be financed to a tune of 300k on registration. add to that all the registration and legal costs ... etc 70k should however get you a freelance visa at media city though ... i may have some contact details somewhere,...

sent you a pm, hope this helps

It is more than 3 months, but the visa is not yet issued to me. I am new to UAE. Can anyone guide me regarding the time duration that may take for getting a visa. do you mean the work permit or the visa??? "i am new to UAE" this sounds like you are already here??? are you working for them...

Hi there, been struggling to log on all day. Sent you email about the consultant visa things. Yes, to your second question (last post); residency is only on hand-over of the property after final payment. this also only applies to companies that have government approval to stand as sponsor for the re...

No, as you are already in the country the employer is not responsible for reimbursing your travel expenses. He is how ever responsible for your exit ticket when you leave (see posting above on conditions). I have noticed that in the past few months a lot more companies are advertising positions wher...

Hi folks, how long does it take to process an employment visa if my employer is in the free zone? How long does it take to get the residency? remember during Ramadan, things take twice as long. You then normally have a 10 day public sector Eid holiday after that where all government and municipal o...

They normally don't require photos for visa on arrival as they simply stamp it into your passport and scan the original passport. Most other visa applications are done on-line (even visit visa's through travel agents), here they simply require a good quality full face passport sized jpg file. I woul...

i'm good. how things with you?
seems like we may need DK's jump start after all

weather is fine in winter.

traffic is terrible and not particularly safe to ride. i know of at least 5 cyclist who have been killed by cars over the past 3 years.

dbxsoul

please note the attestation process through Empost has been discontinued! all attestations revert to having to be processed through your closest embassy/ consulate. you can no longer have your certificates attested within the uae!! i have reason to suspect that the system was being seriously abused ...

[quote="jeanfrancois"]Dear all, My wife and I are seriously considering moving to Dubai next year and are hoping someone can help us answer a few questions: 1. Pros and Cons -- Independant consulting/contract work VS. full-time employment: How would I go about obtaining a VISA if I want to...

I found the following two companies registered with the Department of Economic Development. Personally the names don’t ring any bells. If the agent is charging you a processing fee then it’s a scam! PETROFAB TECHNICAL SERVICES Telephone: 971-4-2668966 PETRO FAB STEEL MANUFACTURING (L.L.C) Telephone:...

Hi there “Bob” Take a look at this, my favourite career sites, there are some construction specific sites, try these first. http://dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28599 as well as http://dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=22535 (general tips & info.) http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=23858...

What happened? I notice the tone of your posts are a lot more jaded/ cynical than they were a few months back??

...

dbxsoul

they are registered as sperate business with seperate business licences..

the question remains, if the agent asked for money, then they are not reputable. under uae law, agents my not ask for any fees what-so-ever from a prospective employee or candidate
