Hello everyone, I believe your forum is very helpful. I just had an interview in Dubai and I think I will be offered the job. The problem is I heard I cannot sponsor my husband for residence as only men can sponsor their wives but not the other way around. His work is mainly on-line so he was not th...

Thank you all for your replies. But do you think there are other alternatives? What about registering a business in his name? Would this qualify him for residence? Any idea about cost?

Raniao

Thanks all again. People tell me that I can try to sponsor him but I do not know how. I am working in media, so I am not definitely a teacher or a doctor. Would anyone here tell me how? Humantrian grounds or something like that? He has a US passport so the visit visa is a good option but would he be...

Thank you everyone. I will be waiting to see the company offer, which they say will be sent soon, but so far "soon" in Dubai seems to be taking longer than other places. Then if everything is good, I think we will go with the visit visa option for my husband and see how the job market treats us ther...

Thanks a lot for your posts. I really hope that it works for me to sponsor my husband. But I just have a different question for you. I have been back from Dubai for nine days now - or one full working week. When I was there for interviews, they said they were going to send me an offer "soon". I am j...

Hi,
To my knowledge only Air Arabia flies from Sharja to Sharm El Sheikh.
Good luck.

My husband and I will be moving to Dubai next month. As I will be shipping my furniture just before I leave Egypt, therefore I will be looking for a furnished one-bedroom apartment, or a studio to be paid month by month until my furniture shows up and I get a non-furnished apartment. My office will ...

My husband and I are looking for one bedroom apartment unfurnished apartment near Al Wasl, Jumeira, Sheikh Zayed or Barsha. Sharing is fine as long as one bedroom with attached bathroom+living space+ separate kitchen. We have one friendly and clean cat, and no kids. Budget 60.000 to 65.000. Please l...

I am new to Dubai. Looking to open a bank account, get a credit card, etc. Any recommendations. Any horror stories with certain banks.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Thanks to you all. I am also curious what are the problems with HSBC. Please let me know even in private messages. I disagree that today all we need a card and internet banking. Do you know that card and service fees vary from bank to bank. I had bad experiences before with Citibank in Cairo, where ...

Strife in the UAE? I do not think so. I do not see a reason for it anyway. But do you think if it happens you will be able to get your money from other/foreign banks? Who knows. Money may be lost in all cases.

Got my cat here with assistance from the Dog House. They are impressive, prices are lower than Dubai Kennels.

Forgot one thing: Emirates does not fly Persian cats. They worry about their breating given their small noses. So, make sure you check with your airline if before you book for your cat.

Hi I cannot comment on how good is the salary to your qualifications. But as for the rest of your points, here we go. As many may tell you, the cost of living thing is a relative matter. But I can tell you the following. A one bed room apartment in a nice neighbourhood on Sheikh Zayed Rd. will set y...

people I know it is always nice to complain and complain. But here is my story with the driving license. I was not really driving much before I came to the UAE. Took the initial test and they told me I have to take 8 classes (1/2 an hour each) I took them in four day and got the driving test done. I...

Raniao

one of the good things about Emirates Institute is that the instructor took me where the actual test will be done. So instead of me driving around Jumeriah and finally take the test in Qusais. I took most of the class in Qusais. I admit the trips to the Qusais for classes were not so much fun. But s...

I need more information about al wasl hospital. from what I see most of your posts are old, so I expect you have been through more experiences there. Please tell me how did it go. Thanks

Raniao

You can open a current account not a saving account if you're a visitor. The only thing is you have to get a recommendation letter sent from you home country's bank to the bank here. You will need to deposit a certain amount of money as well. HSBC require something like 5000 dirhams.

If the company is bringing you on an Employment Visa you won't be able to open a bank account till you get your residence (usually done in less than a month). Some companies have arrangements with banks to open payroll accounts even if you're not a resident. One thing about mortgages, I really think...
