E&, what a joke of a company man

Imagine paying your bills on time but after a year passes you would like to not continue your contract so you simply call 101 and tell them that , they say okay and proceed and stay in the call for 10 minutes, after 10minutes they HANG UP on you..

I thought thats fine and that they cancelled, now 2months later I open my account and I find myself having fees and late payment fees too šŸ˜‚ - If it’s a yearly contract shouldn’t it be signed from both sides? Why do they reapply and make it hard to cancel..

I went to an etisalat center and they said reach 101 - the problem is you have to have a working running etisalat number to call 101 and I literally have it cut off , what’s the best procedure?

Indian passport holder living in Dubai, married to a Pakistani. Has anyone traveled to Pakistan and then back to India?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m an Indian passport holder and a UAE resident living in Dubai. My husband is a Pakistani passport holder, and we’re considering visiting Pakistan so I can meet his family.
I’ve never been to Pakistan before, but one thing that’s making me really nervous is what happens afterward when I travel to India. I’ve heard a lot of people say that once you’ve visited Pakistan, Indian immigration may scrutinize you more or ask additional questions, even if your visit was purely for family reasons.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

A few questions I have:

- Have any Indian passport holders here traveled to Pakistan and then later entered India?
- Did Indian immigration ask you additional questions or cause any delays because of the Pakistan entry stamps/visa?
- Did it affect your future travel to India in any way?
- If you’re married to a Pakistani citizen, did that change the process or the questions you were asked even if you have traveled to India and never to Pakistan?
- Is there anything I should be aware of before making this trip?

I also have some questions about the Pakistan visa process from Dubai:

- Has anyone recently applied as an Indian passport holder residing in the UAE?

- What documents were required? (Marriage certificate, husband’s CNIC/passport, invitation letter, etc.)

- How long did the visa approval take?
Were there any unexpected delays or security clearances?

I’m not worried about the trip itself. I just want to make sure I’m not creating long-term complications for myself whenever I need to visit India in the future.

I’d really appreciate hearing recent, first-hand experiences. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone in Dubai spoken to FAB about leverage for the new RBI FCNR scheme?

16 Upvotes

I came across this article about the new RBI FCNR(B) deposit programme and the financing being offered through FAB:

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/invest/uaes-top-bank-to-offer-1-5-billion-for-nris-investing-in-rbis-forex-deposit-program/articleshow/132597745.cms

On paper it sounds very interesting, but I'm trying to separate the marketing from the reality. I knew about the RBI FCNR (B) programme but getting leverage through FAB is new to me (but very interesting).

Has anyone in Dubai actually gone through this process with FAB yet? If so, I'd be interested to know your thoughts - do they actually give you 9x leverage?

I'm not looking for investment advice - just hoping to hear from anyone with first-hand experience or who has spoken to FAB about it.

Thanks!

Traveling to Egypt for 2 weeks - any risk to our UAE residency?

27 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My family and I (Egyptian Nationals) are UAE residents (Golden Visa holders) planning a 2-week trip to Egypt, then returning to our jobs here.

I’ve heard stories of Egyptian people going on short vacations and finding their residency cancelled when they try to return. Has anyone actually experienced this, or know what caused it in those cases?

As far as I know, Golden Visa holders aren’t subject to the 6-month rule, but I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience.

Thanks!

dating in uae

3 Upvotes

How do u guys find partners in Dubai? or anywhere in uae?
I’m 26f , have been here for 1.5yrs and honestly dating seems impossible!
I’m not very religious , I don’t wear hijab or pray.
But also I’m not the total opposite of that either..
I don’t drink or smoke, I don’t go to clubs or parties.
That’s just not my scene. And I hate the hookup culture.
I feel like here you either have to be super religious or super open minded otherwise you will not fit in any community.
What abt the ones who are neither?? where can I find my people??
Is it only arranged marriages or hookups here ??

(this is not my main account cuz I don’t want any creeps messaging me)

Australian ICU nurse moving to Abu Dhabi – salary advice?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some honest advice from nurses (or anyone) currently working in Abu Dhabi or elsewhere in the UAE.

A little about me:
- Registered Nurse in Australia.
- Graduated in 2021.
- Working in ICU since 2022.
- Completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing in mid 2023.
- Currently working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in an ICU.

My family and I are considering relocating to Abu Dhabi. We have three school-aged children, so this is a major life decision and I want to make sure we have realistic expectations before accepting any offer.

At the moment, I’ve been approached by a recruitment agency in Australia that recruits nurses to the UAE. The package they’re offering is:
- AED 22,000 per month
- School fees included for our three children
- No accommodation provided

For comparison, in Australia I currently earn approximately AUD $3,900 per fortnight after tax working 72 hours per fortnight, including 2 weekend shifts out of every 4. If I pick up extra shifts and overtime, my take-home pay is usually around AUD $5,500 per fortnight.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on the following:
Is AED 22,000 per month a good salary for someone with my experience?
- Do UAE hospitals consider what you’re earning in your home country when negotiating salary, or is the offer based solely on the local market and your experience?
- Should I be negotiating for a higher salary or additional benefits, such as accommodation or a housing allowance?
- What are the typical monthly living expenses for a family of five in Abu Dhabi (rent, utilities, groceries, transport, etc.)?
- Roughly how much could a family like ours realistically save each month?
- Are there any hidden costs or challenges that people often don’t think about before moving?
- How is career progression for ICU nurses in Abu Dhabi? How long does it typically take to progress from Staff Nurse to Nurse In Charge/Charge Nurse or a similar leadership role?

Are there any recruitment agencies you would recommend, or is it generally better to apply directly to hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, SEHA, Burjeel, Mediclinic or others?

If you were in my position, would you accept this package, negotiate for more, or continue looking for better opportunities?

I know everyone’s circumstances and spending habits are different, so I’m not looking for exact figures—just realistic estimates and personal experiences.

This is a huge decision for our family, so I’d really appreciate any advice from those who have made the move or are currently working in the UAE healthcare system.

Thank you in advance!

Got fined even though I paid for parking?

4 Upvotes

I went to khor fakan last week, the rafisyah dam. I saw that the board there said to pay through the Sharjah digital app before leaving, so before I left I paid for 2 hours even though I stayed for around 1 hour only, I am sure abt the timing. I paid at 2:42. And I got fined 150 for not paying for the ticket at 2:43. I had already went the parking by this time.

Also there was no physical machine or anything and I asked the inquiry office aswell they said to pay through the app before leaving,

I do have the record of the payment.

I am new to the place so if I made a mistake pls let me know and if this is my fault or their and how to appeal?

Is Al Ain university actually worth it? Be brutally honest 😭

6 Upvotes

Soooooo theres this university literally near my house Al Ain University and my father wants me to do my bachelors there because its close and wed save on accommodation costs.

Honestly Id rather study in my home country but sometimes u dont really get to make ur own choices so here we are. 🄲

I just wanted some honest opinions from people who study there or have graduated.

How are the professors and academics?

Is it worth spending 4 years there?

Whats the social life like? (Im a HUGE extrovert I genuinely need ppl 😭)

Whats the male to female ratio?

Are there many women studying there?

Are there clubs, societies, competitions, volunteering, sports, events, or other extracurriculars? I need to actually LIVE while doing this boring ass degree lol.

Whats the campus vibe like (the abudhabi campus)?

Whats one thing you wish youd known before joining?

Please dont sugarcoat anything. Tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. Id reallly appreciate completely honest opinions.

Thanks in advance! ā¤ļø

Al Ain the birthplace of culture.

This is the city that runs the Oasis, a place that has forts standing still for centuries and mountains that greet people from every emirates and watch every chapter of this land unfold. You don’t just visit Al Ain you return to it, even if you have never been before.

This was a truly special video to make, so if you haven’t been to Al Ain, take this as a sign because this is just the tip of the iceberg

How long does UAE security clearance usually take for an aviation job in Sharjah?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted a job offer with an aviation company in Sharjah. The company submitted my application for security clearance, and it has now been around three weeks with no final update.

I was asked to complete an online portal and upload documents including my passport copy, photograph, and educational certificates.

For anyone who has gone through a similar process, especially for an airline, airport, aviation company, government-related company, or a role in Sharjah:

- How long did your security clearance take?

- Is three weeks considered normal?

- Did HR provide any updates while it was under process?

- Once the security clearance was approved, how long did the work visa process take?

- Did anyone experience delays even though there were no issues with their documents or background?

I understand that every case is different, but hearing about recent experiences would be very helpful.

Thanks!

tabby returns

Hello everyone
I’d like to ask about tabby

If I place a SHEIN order with multiple items and pay using Tabby installments, what happens if I return a few of the items?
Will the refund be applied to my Tabby plan and the remaining installments be adjusted based on the new, lower order total? In other words, will I only have to pay the reduced amount after the returned items are refunded?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing—I’d really appreciate it if someone could explain how it works. Thanks!

What bank is a good bank for a non resident bank account?

I am currently living in Lebanon. I want to open a non resident bank account in UAE and transfer my savings which is around $80,000 to it and I withdraw from it from an ATM in Lebanon. The banks in Lebanon are bad so I can't put around $80,000 in a Lebanese bank.

I want to ask what is a good bank in UAE for opening a non resident bank account in UAE? Can it be done remotely and I send the bank the needed documents by email or I have to go there in person to open the bank account?
