This inquiry is on behalf of my friend who is planning to come to Abu Dhabi she wrote the following message to me:

"I got an employment offer from Pan American Academy in Abu Dhabi.
However, some of the things make me suspicious and I need someone to check it.

1. How can I know it is a real school so that I am sure the job offer is also real? I can't find any website, only an address and telephone.

2. Why do I have to contact an agency for my work visa? Isn't it the school that applies at UAE authorities for it?

Check this site: http://www.dubaifaqs.com/pan-american-academy-abu-dhabi.php I cannot find an official website for them either. Usually, schools organise your visa etc and then send you your plane ticket and give you arrival information, who will meet you and take you to you accommodation etc. They organise and pay for your medical etc once you are here. You should not pay for anything expect often the Emirates ID card which is usually the responsibility of the employees.
