As UAE becoming the leading destination for Expats, here are the top 5 ideas you will need to be told in advance.
Since most people come to UAE without Handwork, there will be the need to get these points to prevent unforeseen occurrences.
Get Your Certificate Attested: It will be a great advantage for you to get your SHS or any other Hight school certificate attested. Not only that but even if you have your
bachelor's and other supporting documents do so. It will save you money and time. Also, it will give you the opportunity over your colleagues who did not. Most high-paying companies and other job openings require an attested certificate to work.
Don't Start Looking For High Paying Jobs if you are having what it takes: Another problem that gets people especially those with educational backgrounds to go
overstay is the eagerness to get high-paying jobs as they just arrive. There are good jobs alright but when you just aim at them without proper calculations into it you will not be able to stay. Many more people got overstayed and had to rely on Amnesty to get back home due to these reasons. There is pressure from home when you travel abroad but it is you that needs to manage both sides.
Savings while doing the low paying jobs: Low paying jobs at earning you around 1000aed are not enough as an ex-pat who also has a family to care for. Therefore don't missus your hard-earned money.
Don't send them all back home if you wish to get a better job. Do the needful by saving if not half at least one-third of it. Nobody is going to support you financially when you travel abroad. The saved money will help you pay for agent fees if there is the need or better improve yourself through mini-courses to meet the better job positions coming your way.
Don't make you Agent your Money Caretaker: Most people come to Dubai or UAE without proper money management ideas. Why do you have to give money to
your agent to keep? Keep your own money with you and do not borrow. That's why you need to take small paying jobs. The small paying jobs will give you peace of mind from rent payments to feeding. Also, it will save you from all forms of behavior that will let you miss your purpose of coming into the country.
Lastly, make plans for staying. Are you going to remain here forever? Do you want to build or not before living, are you
building a career, etc. All these forms of questions must be answered by you before you make any decision when you are in UAE or coming as an ex-pat.
