It is required by (sad) law that you have office space to set up a company.

It also depends on your landlord. My tenant wanted to leave and I let her leave on less than a month's notice. Gave back her cheques. Depends on how greedy your landlord is too.

I know many people who got married thru office romance. Heck, if I ever joined the corporate life, that'd be one of the reasons.

Your situation is almost same as mine, but my marriage certification is done now, AL hamdulilah. I was converted to ISLAM before i decided to get married, my husband is ararbian, we from different country, but we wanted to follow ISLAMIC way, it took us 3 months to finish it, in sharjah court.like ...

The Mazda 3 1.6 isn't really faster than any of your other options. It just makes a lot of noise giving the feeling of speed, but since you already bought the car, no point going on about this. It is obvious you bought the car to save money in the long run. Do the stereo if doesn't play MP3s. But do...

Spending 800 dollars to avoid 300 dirhams? Man you'll be fine and you seem overtly paranoid about this. Perhaps there's more to this than simply owing a shopkeeper money? If not, don't sweat it. If they do for some reason detain you when you arrive, simply paying the arrears will see you fine. I ag...

Alright but going back to my orginal post, is it legal to do that? Legal being, it WILL pass annual inspection, I really don't wanna get an exhaust/intake if I have to take it off all the time to pass tests Everything I said is totally legal. I have a heavily-modded Supra Turbo, and it takes major ...

is there any area where there are good value for money villas in dubai??? :? Nakheel just released Furjan and Dubai Properties just released Al Waha Villas. Worth checking out. Are those just announced? Won't be built for years then. I went through the frsutration of sitting and waiting for my Nakh...

It seems like you are the cause of half of those problems.

...but that is probably a chain email, eh?

There's a place among the garages opposite Sharjah Stadium. There are a few more in Ras Al Khor among those garages oppsoite the Country Club, but giving directions is complicated. There's also a place in Karama opposite Sunrise Supermarket, but that is more expensive for same quality work.

Ban on employees working on visit visa - I agree. I think it's common anywhere in the world. Automatic ban on employees wishing to change job within the country (regardless of zone or years of work) - I somewhat disagree. IMO what is more fair (both for company & employee) is to apply minimum y...

My point is Fayz that due to flat sharing 3/4 people can have a car with only 1 allocated parking space. Havent you noticed the nighmare and inconsiderate parking at night between your place and my place. People just shove their cars anywhere, pavements, over entrances, sticking out from corners et...

I had no issues with MeBank. I play with it mostly thru their internet banking interface, and keep making and breaking FD accounts as I please. Rates are between 4.1% to 4.5%. I even pay my bills and Salik taxes thru it.

...Poor chap was at the receiving end. and now again he got another parking ticket :P but who is to be blamed? The building owner? who doenst provide enough parking space? The RTA for allotting double the number of vehicles that the avilable parking space? or The guy for having a vehicle.. You, his...

Hehe, can't argue with that.

As long as you don't expect to conquer some dunes, you will be very happy with the car.

We are a couple with a 1-yr-old. There is absolutely no way that we would be able to live here on 9000 a month, even with accommodation paid for. Trust me, don't do it - you'll be living off your savings.

Never say never. People are doing it. But Arnie's point stands.

I still believe if it were for less than a year, it'd probably better to rent than buy. The other way around if it were for more than a year. There are many good car rentals with less rent rate than Avis/Hertz/etc. When buying, maintenance cost may not be a problem since you'll have warranty. But c...

sharjah is the emirate (and city) basically to the right of dubai. close to the airport from an access perspective. be warned though sharjah is governed differently to dubai - no legal drinking, no bars... basically more consrvative than dubai. prices used to be much cheaper, but have gone up stead...

Plenty stay, until that plenty gets kicked out and another plenty replaces them after hearing the hype. And the cycle continues.

He wanted peace of mind and resale value, which are not Ford hallmarks.

IMO living in Sharjah (especially near the border of Dubai) nowadays is not that cheaper than living in Dubai (e.g. Al Ghusais and surroundings). Yet you'd stuck with more traffic (means more petrol=expense). If I were you, if it were for only 5-10K/year rent difference, I'd stay in Dubai. One plac...

There are 2 stupid things about Dubai/UAE postal service: 1. Except for couriers like Aramex/DHL/etc, they don't deliver to doorstep. You must have PO Box (personal or company's). 2. Even if people want to open personal boxes (not free), except for some big buildings, it's impossible for people to ...

Random violence does happen though, cos stories come in the papers. Just not as common as in the West or the East.

Jeebus Crysht! I went to high school for less here.

Very true, resale on Fords is pants! Jap cars are much better.

The Americans make for cheap fun used cars though!
