I seriously doubt it.

Its an American passport: you should be fine over there, but make sure you have the consulate's number on you, just in case. You should be careful of your Israeli identity, as they aren't so fond of Jews (or Americans for that matter) Good Luck

Travel to Dubai at the end of your contract. Stay with your girlfriend, enjoy her company while you also look for a job. How about that.

when is ur contract finishing/ or lets say when r u planning to visit dubai? start looking for a job atleast 2 months b4 arriving here. inform the employer that u'll b available by this date and schedule ur program accordingly. once u reach here u can fax / email ur resignation to the company in qatar. and could continue here. other option is tht when u reach here than strt llooking for the job and visit offices/companies by urself,which i don't recommend this if u r coming just 4 a month coz then it might b dfclt to get the job of ur own choice. and once u accepted the offer and strt working on the employer's visa it not tht easy to change the job here. to stay with ur gf........confirm with her is it possible to stay with her coz here mostly the persons are staying in sharing, sometimes just a bed space coz of very high rents and less salry thus resulting in less saving. so check if u could stay with her or else wht's the other option u r left with.

First of all, you should be aware that you need a visa to get into Dubai. If you come on visit visa, you need to have a return or forward journey ticket. Finding a good job in Dubai is not as easy as it sounds. If you have earned your right for the two-way ticket from your company, if you can, take encashment instead so you can use your ticket whichever sector you want to, say Dubai as you have planned. If you do get a job in Dubai, I would say it would be better if you ask your work sponsor to convert your visit visa to working visa. Either they pay for the visa change charges plus the charges because you are in the country OR they would ask you to do a visa change which will involve traveling out of Dubai to any GCC country and coming back on the same flight to enter on a working visa. If you plan to travel to Philippines instead of GCC, then to get out of Pinas smoothly you would have to register as an OFW in POEA if not yet registered -- like if you went to Qatar on visit visa instead of employment visa. If you are already registered as an OFW, then you would have to renew your OWWA membership because it is only valid for 2 years. You will have to pay a little less more than 2000php. Either way, if I were you, exit cleanly from Qatar by resigning so your current employer wouldn’t file an absconding case for you and you will be banned from entering Qatar. Who knows, one day you might need to go back to Qatar for something. Also, try applying online for jobs in Dubai. It is always better if the company sponsors for your entry visa to UAE. You can email me if you need further details, maybe I can help you out. Good luck!

This kind of question has been answered alot of times in Y/A. Would suggest you search for them, will help u alot

The US based company you may be employed with is sponsored by any UAE organisation (company, government etc). You will be sponsored by this company or the original sponsor. The PRO of the company has to apply for an employment visa on your behalf. He will let you know what documents are required. Employment visa: "Employment Visa or Permit is issued by the Immigration Department to a foreign national who wishes to work for a company in the UAE upon the approval of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. It allows the holder to enter the UAE once for a period of 30 days and is valid for two months from the date of issue. When the employee has entered the country on the basis of the employment visa, the sponsoring company will arrange to complete the formalities of stamping his residence." All labor and visa related costs have to be paid by the sponsoring company and are not deductable from the salary. Good luck!

can a expat on a student visa can work in dubai especially females

There are many expat students who work part-time in the UAE, and many part-time jobs advertised which are likely to suit students. But keep the following in mind... There was talk of allowing students in the UAE to be allowed to work part-time, but so far (as of May 2010) it appears that no official permission has been granted, except for Emirati students. Students on a family resident visa (sponsored by father, mother, husband, or wife) might be allowed to seek part-time employment. For example, the UOWD website says "Current labour laws of the UAE do not permit students on student visas from undertaking paid employment in any capacity" (last checked May 2010). However, UOWD also says students might be able to work if "student is working directly for the University of Wollongong in Dubai" or "student is working in a work placement directly linked to his / her studies". Similar rules probably apply at other universities and colleges in the UAE. Students at universities and colleges in the UAE might be able to find internships if their institute has made arrangements with a company or organisation. Internships are usually unpaid jobs though, and students would normally be expected to obtain permission from the institute where they are studying. Any foreign expat who is employed in the UAE needs to obtain a labour card (employment / work permit) from the UAE Ministry of Labour. Usually the employer arranges this for the employee. Emirati national students can work part time (or full-time) since Emirati citizens do not need residence visas or labour permits in the UAE. GCC national students might also be allowed to find employment in the UAE for the same reason. Minimum employment age in the UAE is 18 years of age (maybe 15 years for some jobs, unknown which ones.

not officially but can work for promotions.

ok , this person is not EMIRATI so please don't provide useless info. To put it simple. officially you CANNOT work on student visa. Some universities allow you to work ON CAMPUS but very limited and petty pay. Employers do hire students for promotions, etc. But please bear in mind it is risky, being caught will result in deportation to your home country.
