Does the Al Ameen service cover something like this? actually it does, but only an option if things don't work out after a friendly chat with the landlady - and really all will happen is the local cops will turn up and evict everyone and slap the landlady (possibly also the exisiting tennants) with...

theoretically this all sounds good, however the in practice you have to hand your passport over to the company PRO so that your residency visa can be added to your passport - most employers then use this opportunity to then keep the passport. again in practice there are advantages to an employer hol...

Resolution 9 of 1995 concerning organizing and bringing in of family members and servants by foreign manpower (in short sponsoring) Article 1 “An expatriate may sponsor and bring his family members, if his monthly salary is not less than three thousand (3000) Dirhams and if his employer provides hi...

there are a few things to consider: 1. companies will prefer to employ staff with solid work experience as opposed to someone who is qualified in theory only. 2. engineering specs in the middle east are not quiet the same as they are in the uk, so some adaptation would be required. 3. local companie...

with your current circumstances .... no

dbxsoul

No. It's illegal according to UAE law, and against the terms and conditions of an individual being given a passport by their country's government. Which are that the passport is the property of that country's government and should only be surrendered to the proper authorities ie police, border cont...

very complete answer from zaidinamdar. my 5 cents worth “Resolution 9 of 1995 concerning organizing and bringing in of family members and servants by foreign manpower” Article 2 “An expatriate who receives a monthly salary of at least Dhs. 6000 may sponsor a male or female domestic worker, provided ...

a residency visa allows you to stay in the country – this done through the process of sponsorship i.e. an employer (registered company) can sponsor an employee, an employee can sponsor his spouse (subject to regulations) etc.. a work permit entitles you to work in the country - this is done in the n...

That is priceless - the government has a law that employers are not allowed to keep employee passports, but they themselves keep employee passports during a 6 month probation period. sad, but true... most of the issues that are discussed on this forum don't pertain to government employees. the labo...

haiza, sorry one sentence is not enough to work on.

you have to put everything in perspective:

type of work/ company
your work experience
location of the work in dubai
perks/ benefits that they offer, and what they don't offer
type of lifestyle you lead

etc....

found the questionaire interesting, although, on awnsering it i realised that it is directed as vistors, as opposed to residents/ expatriates.. like someone said, hope this doesn't skew his data.... other thing i'd make comment on is that dubai does a lot of intesive marketing abroad (tv, magasines ...

dbxsoul

Depends what work you intend doing here. I would say that they would not offer your 10k as a porter in the UAE, this would probably be in the region of 2000-2500 AED per month, given the amount of "cheap" labor that is available here. Other considerations are that as hotel staff you are no...
