Hi there, When I applied for my visa back in December it was the same thing just got the acknowledgment saying my transaction was successful and I had an E visa. I also thought it was strange so asked a friend who was an immigration lawyer and she said apparently that's all that happens. I was fine when I went through immigration in Sydney it showed up when they scanned my passport. I took a copy of the acknowledgement with me just in case they asked at immigration. So as long as your acknowledgment states you have an E-Visa you should probably be ok as well.

Hi there, I fly out of DWC all the time and I love it. It is pretty bare bones right now, although they recently opened the Starbucks! There is a small food court upstairs with a mcdonalds and a costa and I think one or two other places. There is a small duty free, nothing great but has a tiny book section that isn't too bad. I've never been in the lounges as I never get there with enough time to hang around much. I prefer to fly out of here because there is never any line ups. and I mean none! Last week when I flew out, I checked in and was through security in 10 minutes. When I returned I went from the plane to a cab in about 12 minutes. But sshhh keep it on the DL I love that this airport is so empty right now! lol hope that helps :)

Hi there, I definitely understand your worries! I have been so tentative to go to a hairdresser that I haven't gone since I moved to Dubai. I finally went this past week on a recommendation and I absolutely love my hair! His name is Salah at Hair by Salah in Knowledge Village. He initially made my hair too ash blonde for my liking but I went back a week later and he fixed it for no charge. I can't comment on how his cut is as I only got a trim, his blow dry/style was great. I was actually amazed at how many foils he put in my hair - it took him over 45min just to put all the foils in so there is definitely no concern of not getting a full head of foils. The only con is that it takes him forever - I was there for 4 1/2 hours. He is also a bit pricey - I paid 850 but keep in mind I have really long hair and didn't get basic foils he did a pretty complex balayage which varying shades. Good luck with your search!

Hi there, I was in a similar position to you back in the summer and was searching for a legal counsel position here in Dubai while not in the country yet. 1st question: Recruitment agency response time varies depending on the size and also your seniority (they tend to reply much faster to senior lawyers because they are more in demand). I would suggest always directly emailing your application to the poster as oppose to just applying to the position through the site. If you would like, I can give you more specific info based on the legal recruitment agencies as I was in contact with most of them. 2nd question: It took me a month and a half to find a job, another 3 weeks of negotiation before I accepted. There are alot of factors that go into the timeline though. For me I was dealing directly with the company so it went a bit faster, friends who have gone through recruitment agencies experienced a longer process. However I can say that almost all the people I know here have said once they accepted the position the companies are always in a big rush to get them out here and starting asap.

Hi Megan, I was in a similar situation as you before moving here. I decided to go with a studio apartment in JLT and am happy with my decision. My studio is 70K fully furnished not including chiller. I could have found something for a little less but really liked the layout of the studio and the funiture was all new and I didn't want to furnish myself. I wouldn't worry about being alone I have found it quite easy to make friends here - I would be happy to connect once you are out here as well. Good Luck!

Hi all, I have some visitors who are coming into town and are specifically looking for replica celine and givenchy bags. I've been told Karama is the place. Any advice/suggestions? I've seen a bunch of older threads but nothing too recent. Also I realize that replica bags are quite controversial and am fully aware of both sides of the arguments, so it would be great if I could get positive responses only. TIA!

Hi there, I've done a fair bit of research on this for partners at work and I would definitely recommend DIFC Wills over local wills. Especially if you have daughters!

Hi Ladies, I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this. I have a parking space that I don't use in the X1 tower in JLT. If anyone is in need of a parking space I would be willing to rent it out for whatever you think is reasonable. Thanks!

Hey guys, Turns out you can't pay with an international credit card only GCC ones. I contacted customer service for various places. Just wanted to let anyone reading this know so they don't go off incorrect info!

Hi All, For initial deposits/costs like DEWA, Internet, TV and Cell Phone is it possible to use an international credit card or must I use cash? Thanks!
