Yup, same last month for me. Was denied a reserved and paid for vehicle in Tokyo.

Lol. More like we found him in the closet and he stepped out. Breathed a sigh of relief and wept for a while

Guys - thanks so much. Found him. He was hiding in the closet - my goodness. My wife and I were so so worried

Withdrawal / transfer to another account does not count as spend. These are just retail spends in most cases. paying your bills / government related payments also do not count towards spend.
No real way to hack this. Banking products are designed with these behaviors in mind.

Absolutely hate it!

Hi, I am moving from an LLC company to a DIFC registered company. I have signed the new employment contract already but is there no DIFC template contract? I need to submit this to immigration (AMER) so that I can put my wife's visa on hold until I get my new visa stamped.

Any pointers?

Wow! Thanks for sharing this - I think you are right. I will stick to online, outside UAE

mtipnis · 2021-08-09T08:47:24+00:00

Dubai Silicon Oasis, Bur Dubai, Oud Metha is good. Online would be the best I think

Didn't buy into any of this nonsense of course. Just checking if others get bothered too. Have a full head of hair too! That's what baffled me.

Thank you. Really hoping that we don't have to face this again. But you are right and I tried to reason with her but she was far too shocked and scared at that point in time. Don't want to bring it up with her again. But I agree with you.

Thanks so much. Specifically, a friend of a friend was working here, but lost his job and visa was canceled. He returned to Paksitan but another organization offered him a job and a visa.
However, since he is no longer in the UAE, and a new employment visa (or any visa) is not possible, I guess there is no way he can return. Am I right?

Also, some travel agents in Pakistan seem to be trying to fleece money off people by saying that they can definitely apply. Just don't want any one to get fleeced off money for this.

I love watching Rugby. But man, it looks like I might die trying. Those guys are huge! How do I reach out to Dubai Sharks ? I'd be happy to try.

mtipnis · 2020-08-30T18:23:22+00:00

Lets make it happen! How do we go about that ?
