this may be difficult the only work you will be able to get legally without a degree would be with the labour catagory of labourer! when you finally have your degree you cannot transfer your labour card as the regulation is that you can only transfer between catagories and positions that are the sam...

first off if you've never been to the uae before visit. make use of the visit visa nd come for an extended period - at least a month, use the opertunerty to check out the job situation, specifically in the IT area - it is not easy to get a good, well paying job in IT in Dubai - there is a huge suppl...

• How long have you been working with this company, you can only use a NOC to get your labour card transferred if you have been working with them for over one continuous year. In your situation ask the company if it is possible for you to continue to work for them for one more month in order to rea...

good question. i actually have no idea how consulates/ embassies are handled in the uae. i do know that some of the embassies hire foreign nationals (not nationals of the host consulate/ embassy) in office positions. i would assume that they have some kind of arrangement with the labour/ immigration...

Who is dad and how did he get to become a mod with only 11 posts?

Is this an Arnie or Sage nom de plume?

haha, don't think it is a question of post volume, but more dedication and even-handedness

Good one bonk, the other issue may be the attestation of your qualifications, which will have to be done through a UAE consulate in the country where the qualifications were obtained. If there is no UAE consulate in the country where you are you can have attestations done at most GCC country consuls...

The longer the better. The term of the contract will be calculated to the date that the labour card is transferred; if you can stretch it beyond the 1 year of employment mark and get the NOC sorted out then you have a good chance of avoiding the ban! Do not let them cancel it, it can only be transfe...

been to singapore a couple of time, but don't know much about living there. cost of living is high though from what i have read - probably higher than dubai (accom.)

i do know that annual leave entitlements are much lower 21 days odd per year, not the normal 30 you may get now

dbxsoul

i also believe there is a local tax implication

two other points.

one.. the 6 month labour ban, which he most certainly would have got
two.. was it plain politics or did it get nasty and they called the police?

Hi there, depending on which side of the fence you stand it is either a black and white issue or a very grey issue. The law of the land is clear, no "co-habitation" outside of marriage. This is strictly enforced among the local Muslim population; although the penalties are harsh for both M...

It does not work like that in the UAE or any of the other GCC states. All expatriates that are being employed or offered positions have to have a tertiary educational qualification. There are a few exceptions to the rule, but normally only unskilled labour and artisans will be permitted to work in t...

Hi there, can you tell me what type of labour contract you are employed under and the terms of it extension. It sounds like you have completed one 3 year contract and then extended it. At the end of the contract period the employer is responsible to pay the costs, the law does not state the circumst...

Hi there, I think I answered the first part of your query under another thread. She would be able to travel on a visit visa and with the renewal restrictions as per the passport that she carries – which at this stage is not indefinite renewal. You would not be able to sponsor her (for residency) as ...

Hi there, I was about to reply that categorically no, no ban lifting law... but have just seen an article on the very subject - which does change a few things. I’m attaching a link to the article. I will need to verify the contents of the article first as it has a lot a bearing on a lot of people in...

Ah... I see the problem..

The author of this article is quoting a previous posting from the Gulf News dated November 23, 2007 ... very out dated

First thing, your contract only expires in Oct 2009 – that is 8 months away, plenty can happen with the law in that time, so things which are valid may be invalid then. If you leave at the end of the contract period, offering 1 months notice of your intention (at the start of September 2009), then y...

dbxsoul

Yes, the government stopped the "pay lifting" scheme ages ago. This system was in place when they had the double ban system in place (residency and labour). You must only sign your cancellation papers after you have received your dues, if you do so before you may run the risk of not receiv...

Thank you very much dbxsoul.1. So the means that my labour card expiration on October is my contract expiration as well? The labour card and labour contract run concurrently for the same periods. The expiry date is stated on the card. Your residency visa as shown in your passport may be slightly di...

dbxsoul

Okay, I think I follow. You have been doing some work for them on-line and they have paid you for that? It could be the job market; especially the market that you are in. the slowing down of the construction industry because of the "recession" has a filter down effect to other allied indus...

dbxsoul

Agreed sage, between a rock and a hard place. There is the pure legal aspects vs. the practical aspects. First off you cannot hold two visa's at the same time. These are issued on your passport number. This means that your employer has not even tried to apply for residency for you (as it is not poss...

I am just confirming the issue of the ban during probation for you, will get back to you in about 30 minutes

dbxsoul

The visa process does not ask for any references at all. This is for your employer only. However, not stating correct information on your resume is grounds for termination under the UAE labour law
