Hello everyone,

I was wondering how can one obtain U.A.E Citizenship, I heard it can be done if you marry one of the locals, is that easy? or do the locals prefer to marry one of their own?, thanks.

Msafi,

I would advise you to be careful when dealing with those " helpful taxi drivers" who are willing to deliver the booze to your place because I heard some of them are informants and will tip off the police, so gotta be careful

Hello everyone, Im a Pakistani-American (U.S. Passport holder) a few years ago I lost my temper at Sharjah Airport with the immigration officials there over a visa issue. I shouted at them in front of all the passengers and insulted them without cussing them out because they refused to let me know a...

Flying Dutchman, I really made a big scene at the airport, im sure they have it in their system. I regret losing my temper but I cannot change the past, what's done is done I did make a few trips to the country after this ugly incident and had no problems clearing immigration, however, I would only ...

Sage, I know what you mean, I was an arrogant teenager back then, but still Sharjah immigration officials should at least have the courtesy to let a traveler know as to why they have been detained, just my two cents on the matter. A reputable law firm (by the name of trench law) has even offered to ...

Sage, I’m sure it's a legitimate business establishment, however, isn’t that kinda scary? I mean what if someone has committed murder or worse, they can simply have a law firm in the U.A.E check if there has been a warrant issued against them and never come back to the country!? I guess money does b...

U.A.E seems like a tax free country, however, there are many hidden charges associated with living here

She's now living in Dubai, away from her kids and husband in Abu Dhabi just so she can take classes. I happen to be a U.S. Citizen, with a Washington state issued drive...

Whoa! I apologize, yes, westernized doesn't translate into "loose morals or values" Don't know what I was thinking, anyway, I guess what I meant to say was that she leads a very promiscuous lifestyle because of x..y...z.... reasons. Anyway, looks like American can be converted, while Canad...

Yes, I did live in Dubai, however, I was informed recently by my cousin that western passport/license holders no longer have the priviledge of directly applying for a drivers license in the U.A.E.
