Visa help and possible relocation

Hi there

Please can someone help......we have been applying for jobs in UAE now for about 4/5 months, heard back from a few with no positive outcomes. We now think we are doing this all wrong and we need to be pointed in the right direction. My Husband is a Transport Manager for a local courier company with 16 years time served experience. I have 10 years time served experience in Administration/Reception and Clerical. I am hoping to find work when we get out there. We have been married 7 years and have a daughter who is 2 years old, we hope to relocate to UAE, as a family, can we apply for a visa, do we have to apply for jobs that will supply sponsored visa's or apply for a family visa........we are so confused. Where do we start.......

Hope you can help, we would love to move to UAE with our little girl......

Many thanks

Lynn

To be honest we don't mind which area we locate to.....Qatar, Dubai, or UAE........we don't have a preference. So anyone on here could try and help......sorry we did'nt want to just look at one place.

if you and your husband can afford visit UAE on a visit visa and search job...that will increase your realistic chances of getting a job

Hi there, relocating from UK to UAE. We are finding it very difficult for my husband to find a job as we have applied for lots...and not heard back, not even one interview....we don't know what to do, its like we are going round and round in circles and not getting anywhere.

Sorry Lynn Where do you want to relocate from the Uk to UAE or from Qatar to UAE?

If it is from Qatar to UAE then I would strongly advise against it as Qatar has more scope of development than UAE at the moment, but then again if you do get a better or similar deal there, go for.

Now regarding you question about visa. best is for your husband to a get a job there first and then you should join him, as he will then sponsor you under his sponsorship as a family.
