I am coming to Dubai in mid Feb and hopefully my partner shortly after, she is a fully trained mid-wife supervisor, ideally she would prefer part time as she will be bringing her 13 year old son, I was told that there were no part time jobs in Dubai, how accurate is that statement.

Thanks for the reply and no I wasn't aware that they could not simply come on my visa, the company I am going to work for did not tell me that! That certainly throws a spanner in the works.
Plus she didn't want to come to Dubai to work initially certainly not 45hrs.
Regards
Alex

Just spoke to them and they said they already anticipated the problem and were not sure how to broach the subject till I told them she had a son, they obviously considered the possibility of my partner being male! Hence they tell me they can sort it and will pay the costs. Not sure how didnt ask. Wh...

axlenoyl

you saying you cannot bring medication in? Would they find it in your main luggage or maybe if you bring copy of the prescription with you, can you not have medication sent by post to the UAE even with a prescription, take it they dont buy viagra on the interner then lol

axlenoyl

Is that it?

What do you know about them big company, good company, any chance of more information please.

axlenoyl

Thanks for the info

axlenoyl

Those are my thoughts entirely, also don't want to work for ever and wouldn't consider Dubai a place to settle without working, there are a lot better climates for retirement within the EU for retiring, it bugs me though that you pay well over the minimum contributions all through your life whilst w...

Accepted an offer in Dubai but company has come back to me and said how about AD, more money etc etc etc, but is AD ready for couples with child age 13? I think not reading some posts and AD web sites, in fact reading 1 or 2 topics on Dubai I even wonder why the people who write the posts are there ...

I understand some or most agents/owners ask for 12 months rent in advance, that is a lot of cash at 1800dhs/month to fork out. Is this generally negotiable? Also is it actually advance rent and then you pay no more for 11 months so you are then 1 month in advance when you start paying again or is 12...

Ok seem to have sorted the problem of the residence visa for my partner with the help of the company I am going to work for, i am told that you need to be employed by a company for at least 12 months before you can leave, however I am also told you can buy yourself out of the 12 months at 500dhs/mon...

Hi guys n gals Do I have the following right, or am I missing anything>>>>>>>> rent 3 bed prop 18000dhs/month school per child 4000dhs/month car 1500dhs/month incl ins/hp utility 1000dhs/month food say 3000dhs/month then obviously social life but have i missed any essentials.

That being the case, the salaries although tax free do not seem to reflect the cost of living, in essence offers seem to be slightly up or same as uk for gross wage in a lot of instances, seems everyone is there for the sunshine, and if your working 46hrs+ you wont see much of that, in fact break th...

my understanding is that they can process both visas at same time if both going to work for them, however if wife coming out on back of husbands visa then she can come out on a visitors visa at same time but the residence visa will follow 21-25 days later

axlenoyl

One way ticket not a problem as I understand it

axlenoyl

There is a fee involved but this varies, seems a visitor renewal is 500dhs whereas a residence visa is quoted previously as 10000 dhs

axlenoyl

seems to be a lot of different information and figures quoted

Can anyone tell me where I will find alist of banned medicines to bring into the country, I understand even Codein and anything containing it is banned.
