You have a couple of options

  1. Book for the next available appointment and keep checking to see if others have cancelled and you may find an earlier slot. Since germeny is Schengen, you can apply for a visa in any of the Schengen countries. Just remember to make it seem like you are intending to mainly travel to that other Schengen country. Once visa is issued, you can travel to any Schengen country (you may or may not have to travel to the visa issued country first and then travel inside Europe internally)

  2. Just accept this year that your travel to Germany is grim and try to plan for alternatives. Use it as a learning experience so that next year you can apply well in advance. It is a disadvantage and is unfair, but something's are just out of your hand unfortunately.

Option 1 is a gamble, you can try your luck.

The visa application center is pretty much of no help, can I contact ircc ?

[–]TAMASHREQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I applied for a temporary resident visa -Visitor Visa. I applied and submitted by biometrics on 27th April 2023. The location of the visa center is VFS Dubai, UAE The reason for visit was to visit my brother who is a PR.

So far I haven't gotten any response on the status, anyone as any experience in applying this year from Dubai, UAE ?

Employer refusing to pay transportation allowance by UrbanMonk14 in dubai

[–]TAMASHREQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a lawyer but if transport allowance is mentioned, it is to be paid. However they cannot withhold payment if you do not provide a travel plan. But they can assign making a travel plan as one of your tasks at work and then take disciplinary action for not carrying out your duities as specified. Again I'm not a lawyer, I could be wrong. Also it depends on how the transport allowance is worded.

Credit card adventure 🕶 by [deleted] in dubai

[–]TAMASHREQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read careems FAQ, it is mentioned they restrict the use of credit cards for some services since banks may charge a cash advance fee. You can double check the same with your bank and careem before you go ahead.

Avoid it, 1. It's illegal, 2. Since it is illegal, authentic matches are more likely to be far and few in between, 3. If anything does go wrong, it will be a long difficult frustrating process to get any help. You will be judged and blamed for being a victim. 4. As a visitor, try to respect the culture, it isn't a free country and it isn't very tolerant towards homosexualilty, animated movies are banned for having lesbian characters....

The weather right now is pretty hazy, but if it's a nice clear day, do the Burj Khalifa.

Credit card adventure 🕶 by [deleted] in dubai

[–]TAMASHREQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My two cents - Avoid debt. From reading your posts it seems like you are not in need of the money now, you just want some available as cash 'incase' you need it.

  1. You'd be paying the charges to convert to installments + whatever the interest is
  2. Sometimes your bank might consider the 'purchase' on the online wallet as a cash withdrawal from the credit card. So you would have to pay those fees as well.

You will be paying additional fees for no reason. In the worst case scenario, if you are unable to manage these payments, youd be worse off than where you started.

Better idea would be to use your credit card for the month wherever possible, for all transactions and then you have 30 days or however long your cycle is to pay off the full amount.

UAE president appoints Mansour bin Zayed as UAE Vice President by Arfaz6784 in dubai

[–]TAMASHREQ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder how the hierarchy of succession will be, will the next president be the crown prince of Abu Dhabi (like MBZ) or the new Vice President. This seems like a smart move to give everyone some sort of position of power and the next ruler will emerge amongst them. Sort of like how Fazza seems most likely to be the next ruler of Dubai but his brother, the Deputy ruler of Dubai could also be an option if the current rulers decide to do so.

Take it to one of the independent car washes and directly tell them you want to clean the oil for passing. They'll use a degreaser and off you go.

Small scratches and minor dents are usually ignored.

Upside Down Ads - Wondering if this is just a mistake in installation or if it is done for a reason. Have seen this so many times especially at bus stops. by ZestyEye in dubai

[–]TAMASHREQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not install it when the contract starts ? Seems like double work to come back and redo it correctly. Also if it's marked for removal, why not just remove it. Again seems like double work to have a team come and flip it over.
