complicated one. okay, firstly you will have to go to an AD labour department as that is were you were "employed". the labour law in AD is NOT the same as that of Dubai. It may be worth making tentative advances through a third party before you barge into thier offices and they deport you ...

another thing you need to consider is finding out what injections/ vacinations are required by the schools here, as well as the terms as the school years run differently here because of the long summer holiday

not really strange many cities don't have street addresses simply because of the nature of the infrastucture. in dubai as they are building so quickly they would have to have a whole department dedicated simply to making up street names. as it is there are street numbers, but as the city has develop...

jeez, arnie, are you still in the land of the living....

also look where you will be staying, the heat in summer is terrible for animals. many people i know who have pets keep them indoors during summer. if you are going to stay in an appartment - most of them have rule prohibiting pets. think about the excersise factor for your dog in summer, some breeds...

:D i know, it's like re-visiting the scene of an accident :) dbxsoul, Good to see you are back. How's kharthoum? I sat on a 14 hour plane ride with a crazy kid from Kharthou (19). He was hillarious and made the journay tolerable. I got the impression his family owned a lot of Sudan. :) perhaps i'm ...

i went to a hypnotist. worked brilliantly. no phsycological craving, only physical one for about a week. stopped for 3 years, then started again. went back and had had another session - really works well if you can find a good hypnotist (in dubai) and you are suseptable to hypnotism ... now if only ...

devilsdiciple is right... although it is a little more complicated than that... have a look at the sticky page http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11239 in theory the employer is to bare all the processing expenses, in practice most employers will deduct a pro-rata amount (of the visa and res...

There are a lot of questions about cost of living/salaries on this forum, but obviously there are vast differences in people's age, experience, qualifications and expectations. In other words, no standard benchmark. A lot of the questions come from people moving from the UK, so I'd be interested to...

:lol: i do... i got put through the hoop a few times in Dubai myself, so went out of my way to find out. in my case i went to a lawyer, who wasn't able to help much at all - which only ended up costing me money. i found the free legal advise at the labour department to be far more helpful - although...

You guys can tell the difference Water is supposed to be tasteless and odorless

only pure, double distilled water is tastless and odourless

dbxsoul

i agree with xp, depends on who you have clear it. they may take interest in cd's, dvd's, magasines and books.

this inspection is really for show in anycase; most of what they are trying to prevent entering the country is already there and available if you wanted to find it.

The Heat does not bother me. :lol: After two summer months working outside in Dubai 6 days a week you might change your mind. :lol: i agree, i thought the heat wouldn't phase me as i was used to working in 40 degrees ... then factor in the humidity... most construction here, is shutter and pour - v...

hi there, why not take her to one of the government hospitals?

to be quiet honest most "good" private practice paediatricians in dubai are expensive!

dbxsoul

the awnser is no. the uae is a male run culture, the husband is considered the bread winner and main sponsor of the residency visa; they do however make exceptions for women who are in what they consider "special proffessional persons". these include women who are medical doctors, teachers...

dbxsoul

hi there christine, yes you are correct. there is no ban issue with visa's issued through the free zone. can you tell me are you working on a visit visa or have they applied and physically issued you with a residency visa? have they provided you with a labour card yet? if i'm not mistaken you would ...

dbxsoul

Jeee! what a flurry of activity this morning, the weekend must be over :) everyones a winner this morning. the reason is that there is still an active labour contract in the system, even if the residency visa has not been used. the existing labour contract would have to be cancelled first. the ban w...

dbxsoul

sorry, another point. make sure that all dealing with the company are by fax (not email), any agreement that is made should be in writing (on a fax) and signed and stamped by the company - else you may find that you are paying over money to a greedy PRO and not into the companies coffers! emails are...

dbxsoul

this seems to be the crux of the matter. in my opinion the labour contract has never been issued (due to the reasons i posted above), simply an application for a labour contract made on behalf of the employer and your friend. i'm certainly not sure if the ban would be effected on this since the cont...

dbxsoul

yes you are right on both accounts. the "catagory ban" and "ban exemption" rule fell into diss-use about 24 months back - although they were still only implemented under certain provisions. they will however take your proffesion into account when applying the 5000 "lifting f...

dbxsoul

no, but they can make a provisonal application based on the information and no doubt passport copy that he provides - this is done sometimes to speed up the labour approval process. this is enough to enter it into the system. when he arrives can then enter on an employment visa and not a visit visa....

dbxsoul

i have to agree with both side on this... remember, this is a forum, the aim of which is to give a full spectrum of information on a topic to a person who has a query ... in this case - both points have been put accross - sage obviously has a standpoint as well as the other views expressed. while th...

dbxsoul

yes, concord. i think that puts it into perspective.

although, if you want to travel/ sightsee outside of dubai then be more careful - depending on the emirate you going to visit

dbxsoul

i seem to remember answering a question similar to this about 18 or 24 months back. concord is right on all accounts. the simplest method if you are serious about coming to the uae is to both take a walk down to the registary office. the certificate aslo needs to be attested (uae consualte in Aus); ...

dbxsoul

:)) the follow-up postings are more intersting to read than the original question. however, all said and done and after all the finger pointing and bickering/ banter. the actual point of the forum was made... if you have a question there is probably someone here who will be able to give you an answe...

dbxsoul

if you still have your passport, look at the cancelled visa. the ban is stamped on the page. it is in arabic, so if you cannot read it get someone to translate it (normally a small red rectangular stamp). if the "frame" you are talking about resulted in a criminal case you may find that yo...
