thank you all for your advice. very helpful. so solving the marriage problem thing, does anyone think there is a chance of my partner getting some sort of job (trade or whatever) without a degree of some sort. and if so does he have to line one up before arrival (to get sponsored) or can he just co...

dbxsoul

fair question. when i hired people in the past i would rather take someone with 1 years on the job experience over someone with a 5 year degree. having said that it needs to be put in the context of the position - you would hardly hire someone with a years brick laying experience over a 5 year degre...

i remember speaking to one of the guys who ran one of the testing facilities a few years back - i seem to remember him telling me they tested for 16 seperate things during the medical blood tests - but definitly can't remember which things were tested for... i also recall a post about 20 or 24 month...

i found this info... "Blood tests can detect antibodies that are made by the immune system to fight a herpes infection. Antibody tests are occasionally done but are not as accurate as a viral culture at identifying the cause of a specific sore or ulcer. Antibody tests cannot distinguish between...

i hate to say it, but i think they did install some at oasis mall ... in the "car park" spa that they built ...

show me any man who didn't cringe when he read that

maybe 2 years old - but still cringe-worthy....

i hope that "jane the ripper" has not struck again!

just an update on this - for anyone who may be interested. i could find no reference any where that being infected with the herpes virus would result in you being deported. on the contrary, i did find references to this in the department of health website, where there are guidelines for medical staf...

non-competition clauses CANNOT be enforced unless specifically included in your official labour contract - the one that is registed with the department of labour. the "contract" that you are probably talking about is in real terms an "agreement" with the employer, none of which i...

dbxsoul

sorry, i forgot. one of the primary reasons the 6 month labour ban was originally introduced was to enforce a non-competitive clause on employees! obvioulsy this law has now been warped and adjusted into a money making scheme!

dbxsoul

yes, as i pointed out last week most companies (well the pro's and management) are fully aware of the employees rights as well as thier own with respect to labour issues.

they simply rely on the employee not being fully aware of his legal standing on labour issues to bluff them into compliance.

be careful using recruitment agencies. there is a list posted on the forum (not exactly sure where - check the search function) of reputable agencies; there are plenty of scam artists around. don't pay any of the agencies, the recruitment costs are for the employers account... if they ask for a &quo...

not directly but have two friends who were placed through them. they were handled quiet professionally from what i saw - by comparison to some of the other "agencies" i have actually dealt with

dbxsoul

from what i see they have the option of staying in crew accomdation or getting a housing allowance and staying where they can afford to. i know five or six members that have used their alowances to buy properties - others stay in rented villas/ appartments and some stay in company owned appartments

dbxsoul

no, most GCC countries will refuse you entry.
normally people travelling out of the reagion to israel on business would have to do it via egypt, there they issue you with a loose page in your passport which is stamped on entry into isreal and can be removed after the visit.

dbxsoul

attestations can be done in dubai through empost, as long as you have a set of original documents with you, what you described is the "old" way, which apparently is no longer accpted

they may not be so flexible when you have spent money on a ticket and are standing in a long long immigration line at 1 in the morning ... and you find yourself sent back to the departures area

hi there, i think the last posting of 1500 - 3500 is on the low side. granted the salaries are low, but not that low. this depends on a number of factors: the school where you hope to teach - some can afford much higher staff salaries, your experience most schools will pay teachers on the position t...

post dated cheques is the name of the game

dbxsoul

hi there, just one point.
you cannot have two applications for the same person in the immigration system at the same time. you need to make a decision one or the other. i'd opt for the residency visa - to save you time and money, and that is your final objective in anycase.

dbxsoul

my employment is governed by the DIFC Employment Law, not by UAE/Dubai labour law. Please correct me if I'm wrong! true, but the FZ laws are based on the uae labour law, about 95% of it in anycase. did you get a proper labour contract - arabic/ english one? give it a try, what have you got to loose...

good point dbxsoul. Problem is that wife's dubai travel date is fixed and I may not be able to get her residence visa organised by then. so would be best to let the company arranging her travel sponsor her visit visa as well. Once she exits Dubai after her meeting, I will start processing her resid...

dbxsoul

I'm confused (not a rare event) how does the residency visa thru husband save time and money? If she get a visa true the Employer it will cost her nothing! The Employer does the works and pays, etc. Arguably the salary given takes that into account but there is no outlay of cash by the employee. co...

visit visa no medical medical is required for your labour card to be issued, this is normally a process that is performed in tandum with the processing of your residency visa - the two are sort-of co-dependant. the medical is to check for communicable diseases ... TB, HIV etc... i looked into the li...

sorry, post script,

i don't know if the tests involve any kind of drug screening ... but i doubt it.
