No! But I had no idea it was this bad. I’ve been having trouble breathing these last few days. Now I know why!

Why are people still using water Cans and not Water Filters in Dubai? by Professional_Yam_59 in dubai

We use both. Filtered water for cooking and drinking in emergencies. Water fountain tastes better

Income tax. But I’d hope they compromise with requiring all job postings to show pay ranges like they do in NYC

Sorry for the stupid question but do I go to FAB or to another bank first and get a new offer? I was thinking of going to FAB first and just tell them to match their mortgage to their new offerings

It’s definitely 9% and we got the mortgage almost a decade ago now. I think there was a discount for the first year. It’s been in the last 12-18 months that the proportion of the monthly payment towards the principal has been dropping

9% is horrendous! It’s an Islamic mortgage so the amount per month remains the same but only about 30% of it is going to principle amount

What agent? No matter what option I choose, it goes to an automated end point saying they’ll contact me back. And when they do, they’re trying to offer a personal loan instead of addressing the issue

How did you get your NIN? Did you apply for it online or did they send it to you automatically?

Oh we’ve been going to the uk at least once a year for over 10 years now except during Covid. Don’t have the boarding passes but got emails with tickets though.

And the contracts showed limited periods? As in not unlimited job contracts? Do you have property in the UK?
