I am M.Sankaralingam, living in Tamilnadu, India and recently I have been selected as Site-Engineer (Electrical) in AL Shirawi Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Co.LLC, Dubai for 4500 dirham. I am 37 years old with 17 years Indian experience in electrical field and I am very new to abroad. I don't know about visa processing & work permit etc. Now I am waiting for visa. I think it will take 1 month time.

As far as I understand it you will have a binding contract that says that you must work for the AL Shirawi company. If you do not start working at the date when the company wants you to start working you will be classified as an absconder and you will be blacklisted and banned from entering UAE. But it the company says it's ok for you to start working at some time later, say 2 months, after you have got your visa and work permit then the government and other authorities will not have a problem with that. It's just like you have 2 months unpaid vacation before you start working. But you really should check with the PRO or HR department of your company. They will tell you the rules and regulations. (Just for my own curiosity, is your salary of DHS 4500 with or without company sponsored accommodation?)

joining is something depends on employer, when they want. You need to respect that, because they are hiring as they need resource now, else they would have started when they required. No company want to hire people to make sit on bench. You can request for some more resonable time which needs to agree by your HR or manager. Since you are 37yr old, i doubt u are married with kids. 4500AED without accomodation will give you 0 AED savings. Also with accomodation, should be bachelor, you could be able to save 50% of your monthly salary. Think 100 times before taking this step.. and do remember, keep your passport with you once ur residence visa is done.
