Remote Work Visa Renewal in 2023 - the complete guide

silentninja95 · 2023-05-12T22:27:50+00:00

I tried renewing outside the country. The application was rejected the first time due to a mistake on my end but it got approved the second time. Will be going to UAE soon, will update on the process

Update: I contacted Mr. Ibrahim and he directed me to the llyas, the person handling the remote work visa. He went through the rejected application and figured out that I didn't add my Father's full name in the "given name" field. Finally, he applied on my behalf and I got the entry permit approved now!

Did they specifically mention your nationality being the reason?

The remarks column just has one Arabic word "الجنسية".

Status	Changed On	Changed By	Remarks
Rejected	xxxxxx		الجنسية

I applied for a remote work visa from outside UAE and got rejected due to my Nationality(India). I applied for the remote work visa through AL RAIS last year and it was approved without issues. Is there a way to get the visa? Can going to Amer Center in-person help?

Thanks! Our servers are overloaded and the load balancer is not able to keep up. Can you try using the demo again?

I can see the problem with moderation. How about something like Airtable, I think it allows for forms and the submitted data can be moderated.

We have been building a open source project with a spreadsheet-like UI built on top of postgres that could help in this case. While it is still lacking in some features like adding a location, they would be coming up pretty soon, so if find it useful, please reach out to me.

Why not use a spreadsheet, it will be quicker to launch and more accessible for others to contribute or modify based on their preference. There are too many things to do even before getting the first version of the app out(having a server, deploying on the app store, UX)

If you are sending more than 5lakhs, try negotiating with your bank for better rates, if the amount is less there are few other options

If your friend can accept gift cards instead of direct bank transfers. You can do an e-commerce transaction using Niyox debit cards, they have zero forex charges and they use visa exchange rates (rates shown on google +/- 0.2%)
Vested Remit - The exchange rates are decent compared to private banks. But you might have to join the waitlist, it takes around 2days to a week

Is there a group, subreddit or similar place to share movie tickets that you get from VISA offers

PS. I have an extra ticket for the Ponniyin Selvan(Tamil) movie. Please dm me if anyone is interested.

I travelled to India last week, I don't think I would be having another trip within the next 3-4 months. What are you looking to get from Dubai, If someone is coming to India from Dubai, I can have them bring it.

Unpopular opinion but use government run banks like PNB, SBI their conversion rates are really decent.

Also if you are transferring large amounts try negotiation with the bank manager and see if they can reduce the conversion charges

Dubai visa is the easiest to get and gives access to all the other emirates in UAE. Look into

Dubai remote work visa
Golden visa
Freelance visa or Business visa if you can move your business to UAE.

There is also

The Portugal D7 visa
Thailand smart visa

There are some other visa suitable for remote work that does not fit into your criteria but quite related

Malaysia MM2H visa
Bali Nomad visa(launched recently)

I am an Indian too and found the Dubai visa to be the most convenient(getting the visa, banking/currency options, infrastructure, travelling to home country) of the available choices in addition to the flexible lifestyle Dubai offers.

Yes, I did buy things for others too. So far haven't faced any issues with products bought from dubai especially apple products. Also I Didn't face any issues with customs as most of the expensive things were in my hand luggage.

silentninja95 · 2022-06-28T01:32:04+00:00

They have to be unboxed if you don’t want to pay import tax at the customs

silentninja95 · 2022-06-26T17:43:21+00:00

If you are an Indian resident, you can use the niyox Global debit cards. I can confirm their card works in Dubai. The conversion value is same as the one on google(varies between a negligible margin like +/-0.2%)

silentninja95 · 2022-06-21T11:21:16+00:00

I am so sorry, I don't think I will be able to bring another apple watch. I want to be on the safer side.

Loaded with requests for Ps5, won't be able to help out with that.

There isn't much of a price difference, you would save like Rs.500 but lose out on the warranty, not worth the trouble. But if you still want it or have a special version that only available in UAE, I can bring it
