Hi,

Are dogs generally allowed in furnished housing? I think it will be a villa as we are a married couple. We are waiting on the answer from the company, but would like to know what the general practice is.

thanks for the info.... I found this article which is what you were referring to. http://www.xpress4me.com/news/uae/dubai/20004454.html

my dog is a husky... looks like she is banned

canadiangal75

can someone explain what station allowance is? is it just extra pay because you live in Dubai?

canadiangal75

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure this wasn't something hidden that wouldn't actually be in our pockets money. I guess it's just the way their contract is worded. It is for Dubai. I could be ancient wording that hasn't been changed...

according to my boyfriend's future employer in Dubai, you have to be married. That way the wife gets the resident visa too and can live with you. You are not allowed to live together without being married in Dubai. So we are getting married. Anyone have a different version?

Hi if you work for this airline or any other airline please give me details on work environment. Do they pay pretty well? How long is the hiring process? I am going to Dubai early 2008 like Jan or Feb with my husband. He has a job there and will be my sponsor. So I will have a residence visa.

I am looking for a ground job as I have motion sickness and would not do well as a flight attendant :) I am working in aviation here in Canada and have worked for 2 different airlines in the past. I think I will apply to start the ball rolling. I figure they might wait until you are actually there t...

Thank you. It's what I figured for the visa. There is a fee involved in swapping your visitor visa to resident. Also, is a one way flight a problem with a visitor visa?

His employer is paying for my residence visa. if it's about 20 days after he is there, that will work as I will be leaving around then. I still have to sell everything here in order not to pay Canadian income taxes on our Dubai tax-free money!

I know that stuff with sexual content is blocked and banned in Dubai and that it's illegal to own pornography. Is it Ok to bring personal items such as dildos and lubricant? And should I just pack it with my clothes in my suitcase?

canadiangal75

I'll put it in my suitcase. Although it is about a 14 hour flight for me...

very cute dog

Unfortunately I am still freezing my butt -28c today in Canada! Not sure when I will be in Dubai... end of january probably. So maybe in the future because I will be missing my baby girl who has to stay here since she is part husky.... stupid list!

So we are moving to Dubai in January. We will be shipping some personal items. Is there anything you can think of, that you wish you brought along? We will be provided with a furnished house.

Hi looks like I'm flying in on Etihad to Abu Dhabi and then take the bus to Dubai. Anyone done this before? Is it fairly quick to get thru immigration and all that stuff in Abu Dhabi? And what problems am I likely to encounter having my visit visa from Abu Dhabi instead of Dubai?

canadiangal75

well I made it. I am in Dubai. I can't say I enjoyed the airline. They were over 2 hours delayed. And it took forever to get my luggage. The food wasn't good at all. But the good news is I made it to Dubai. Only thing is my visa is only for 30 days and my husband who flew in with emirates into Dubai...

I wanted to get my temporary driving license but I was told on here and noticed on the website that since I have an Abu Dhabi visit visa, I will be unable to get the temporary driver license in Dubai. I read on the police website, that you are allowed to drive a privately owned vehicle with an inter...

Holders of International driving licenses
It is authorized to the holders of International driving licenses to drive vehicles not owned by them or drive a rented car provided, the international driving license is valid.

from the dubai police website...

canadiangal75

thanks.. I'm gonna try getting the temporary license.. but I have a feeling it won't work because of the stupid Abu Dhabi entry visa...

canadiangal75

so they won't give me a temporary driver's license because of my Abu Dhabi visa. So if I go to Hatta/Oman border, that new visit visa will work? Anyone try this?

canadiangal75

yes my visit visa is from Abu Dhabi
I am Canadian so part of the countries allowed to go to Oman and allowed to transfer driver's license.. I may try it next week.. I'll let you know.

canadiangal75

this seems like a pyramid scam.
