How do you get a work visa in Dubai? Is it easy?
I am a recent graduate who may want to move to Dubai to work. I am interested in being an economist/policy analyst or work in urban development projects. However someone told me I have to be already a professional to work in Dubai. Can I still come to Dubai as a recent graduate? How can I do this?

Of course you can - as long as you can find a company which will employ you and provide an employment permit. However the recruitment market is rather dull at the moment especially in urban planning/ development as many of the projects are delayed by a year or more. Dubai is not exactly an inexpensive place to live in, so do your homework well before landing here.

I would like to move to Dubai to live and work as a Personal Assistant or Executive Assistant
I would like to move to Dubai to live and work as a Personal Assistant or Executive Assistant?
I have almost 20 years experience as an Executive Assistant and it is my dream to live and work in Dubai. I have been doing a lot of research on the area, and I am determined to make this happen! I am getting a lot of good positive support from my family (my parents and my son, who is age 27), they are encouraging me to do this and I believe it would be a wonderful experience. How do I begin? Should I use a headhunter? I have heard that accommodations are very expensive but some companies offer accommodations as part of their compensation package? Are there any laws I should be aware of, for hiring American citizens as opposed to nationals for administrative positions?

whatever you do be prepared for the emotional challenges of living abroad especially a place where the culture is very different than the US. i have spent a fair amount of time overseas and have female friends who have worked in the middle east. it is not for most people since it is harder than most people think to make a life (not just a vacation) outside the US. if you do go, make sure you have a good support system and plenty of financial resources to rely upon to get home when needed. good luck.

Yes you can. You will need to carry your old passport as well as your new one. Just because a passport expires does not mean that any valid visas, work permits and similar documents expire with it. I still carry my 1981 expired passport as it contains a valid for life work permit for Iran. Ian M

Bring the old (canceled) passport with you , and show it along with the new one to the immigration person. But if I were you , to play it safe, better call the UAE embassy in your country and ask if the new passport needs to be re-stamped with the visa or is it satisfactory to just bring the old one along with it so that you can have it done properly after you enter the country. In case it needs a new stamp you can avoid the hassle and take care of it before leaving for UAE. And if it does not you will have a peace of mind. I think with everything computerized they probably can update your file with the new passport number on the fly. You can also go to www.dnrd.ae and ask Dubai immigration directly.(you have to sign up on the website )
