Hi Amy2, After several trips to a number of schools in the scorching heat, I have finally settled for Gems First Point. My kids were on a waiting list in Kings Al Barsha and Nord Anglia. I am very happy with my choice and I hope the kids enjoy their time there. Do check them out as they seem to still have spaces available.The fees is also very pocket friendly. Do let me know how you get on as I am new here in Dubai. My next hurdle now is finding a house. Happy days!
aimsoni016, try Pickfords. I am using them to move our items to Dubai. I chose the Sea Freight option as it is the cheapest. You can get a quote directly from their website or alternatively you may call them. I did my own packing but they do also offer packing services. I hope this helps.
Hi Amy2, we have just been here for a week and I am also school hunting.I started looking for schools as early as February this year when we found out we would be moving here. This has not been an easy exercise but I am soldering on. Why are you settling for Gems Academy if you don't mind me asking?
Hello Jumzy,
The first thing your husband should check with his prospective employer is what kind of visa he will have. This will determine whether you as the spouse are allowed to work as well. Please note that some of the Visas are very restrictive and may not even allow him to change jobs if he wanted to.The UK immigration laws have changed significantly in the past 2-3 years.Be very careful and get clear information on the visa, especially if this is one of the main reasons for your move to the UK.
We will be moving to Dubai end of June from the UK and I am looking forward to the new adventure. As Pdorci and the rest have suggested, If I were you, I would stay in Dubai with such high earnings and save, save,save. Just remember, grass is not always greener. Either way, whatever decision you make, I am sure will be what makes sense to you guys as a family. I wish you the best of luck and if you need any more information, do not hesitate to contact me.
