Hello folks
Not really a newbie in the UAE but a newbie on here. Looking to meet and make new friends. Mature (over 40s) ideally.
Not into the clubbing scene. More into home industry and leisure activities around the home.
Cheers
May be the X-ray test was negative. You should consult a doctor in your country and get this clarified before you try to come back.
Good luck
Hi there!
Looking for some urgent advice if possible! I was offered a teaching position in Abu Dhabi last year with an excellent relocation package for myself, my husband and 4 children.
However, my eldest daughter was born to a previous relationship and I was unmarried to her father. I panicked as I couldn’t find anything to clearly explain the legal implications of “illegitimate” children, and withdrew from the post. I was told by the school’s HR department that all I would need is the letter of no objection from my daughter’s father.
Now, here I am one year later with a few excellent opportunities on offer within Abu Dhabi and Dubai, if I take the leap. My family and I were hugely disappointed that our plans didn’t go ahead last year. At that point, I felt I didn’t have enough information, but now strongly considering making plans to live our family dream. Would I be in trouble with the UAE law if I relocated and they realised on arrival that my daughter was born out of wedlock? Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lovely People of the forum.
I have been a frequent visitor to UAE but was based in Nigeria for past 5 years.

Getting a job in visit visa is problematic and you have to be careful while saying yes to job.

Hi everyone!
I'm currently a senior lecturer in Education at a university in the UK but looking for opportunities in the UAE, in particular Abu Dhabi or Sharjah.
I have been looking online actively for a month and I have been offered a couple of positions, but I suspect these email offers are fraudulent as they are requesting that I pay for my own residence permit before a contract is confirmed. I am going to continue to look but from now on will apply to universities and colleges directly through their website or the MoE website instead of agencies.
I have never lived outside of the UK so would be really interested to hear (1) the process people have taken to find teaching jobs in the UAE, (2) the experiences of people that are not from the US as most education settings seem to use a US curriculum/model of education and (3) what a standard teaching package/contract looks like so I know how to spot a genuine offer and a fraudulent one.
I will contribute as much as I can! Thank you for creating this space.
