Well, it depends how convenient is the alternate :-)
What nationality is candidate? All don't have same recruitment challenges.
What I know, If they are on visit visa (not tourist) they won't need to go out. You can pay the status change while they are in the country.
If she has tourist visa, you could get the pink visa first, book A to A service with any travel agent and they will be flying in & out in 1 day. Cost about Aed 600 tops.
Hope it helps.
Is this worth the hassle? It seems like there are substantial costs involved with sending them out of the country and back again. Anyone care to share their experience? Thanks
