Q: and also what tips can you give me, i'll be going to dubai to look for a job, can i get one in less than a month? i'm a filipino with banking experience. why do we have to exit and go to Iran?
A: As a Filipino you need a sponsor to visit the UAE. If you have any family members or friends living in the UAE holding a valid residence visa they can sponsor you and apply for a visit visa. In this case your passport will bear the visa and you would not have to leave the country to renew your visa for another 30 days after the first duration of 60 days. Many people who do not have a sponsor buy their visas through travel agents who provide them with an e visa. Holding an e visa you can not renew your visa inside the UAE and also can no catch a plane to Oman to go on a visa run. These agents offer special visa run packages i.e. Dhs 1350 for a bus tour Dubai - Oman and one night stay in a hotel. Every additional night costs around Dhs 60. Please note that it is considered as illegal to work on a visit visa and the Authorities are getting more and more strict on these cases. To avoid all this and to save your money it would be much smarter to apply online for a suitable job and have the company pay for your flight and you would enter the UAE on the right entry permit. How much money you will bring to Dubai? I do not know. Hope you saved enough. Good luck!
