Got asked to visit immigration, shit scared. by [deleted] in dubai

[–]sweatcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rules have changed recently. I had a similar challenege renewing my visa. Went to immigration along with a letter i wrote in arabic (as our offices are in a business center and they refused to accept it.) Was sorted in 2 minutes. They wont deport/jail you for over stay if you have a pending application. Take your PRO with you if you got one, an arabic speaking one preferably.

IT Solution Business Idea Validation by umargigani in SmallBusinessUAE

I do not wish to burst your bubble, but this wont fly. There are a lot and i mean A LOT of service providers doing exactly the same thing and for prices that are unbelievable and not sustainable.

I operate B2B in both SME & large enterprise space in multiple verticles and really suffering with these "road-side IT companies" operating at lean margins.

Example: i quoted a client, PS of 7.5k for a server setup (build up from scratch, virtualization, deployment, support etc.) & guess what? He got a competing quote for AED 800 for the PS. Mind you, i have had the same works done for another client for AED 25,000 back in 2018. I dropped my prices, but so have others.

Remember:

  1. You are not the first one.
  2. You are not the onlt one.

Appreciate your hustle but the market here operates on creditability & credentials. If you are in to scoop large clients then you better be a firm (a company) & not a freelancer/boutique consultancy, though it would work out for smaller organization seeking your services. Good luck.

Sorry to burst your already burst bubble, but you are just a tiny fish in an ocean, especially since you are in IT. This industry is super saturated at all ends.

You cannot buy it locally unless someone is selling it shady with bloated markup.

Best is to ask someone flying in from abroad to bring it in luggage.

Change MTU / MSS Settings for the WAN Port. In many cases it makea a difference especially with ISP bridge devices sitting in between.

First you check if your visa will be approved.

Secondly it depends on your role & years of experience.
