The United Arab Emirates is one of the richest countries in the world. Thanks to high income from oil sales, citizens of this state receive numerous benefits and are in no hurry to take what they consider to be low-paying positions. As a result, more than 90% of jobs are occupied by migrants, many of whom are our compatriots. More than 100,000 citizens of Russia and CIS countries constantly work here. How can you become one of them and get a job at UAE enterprises?

Features of the United Arab Emirates and its labor market that are important for an immigrant

The UAE is a Muslim country in which all life is subject to Sharia law. When moving to permanent residence in the United Arab Emirates, you need to be prepared to comply with them, especially in in public places. Thus, women in trousers or short skirts may not be allowed into some organizations, and during the holy Arab month of Ramadan, all residents of the country are prohibited from openly eating and drinking before sunset.

UAE Labor Law

In accordance with labor code In this country, the working day is 8 hours, and the week is 48 hours. But in service and tourism enterprises it can be increased by one hour per day. Employees are given a day off once a week. As a rule, it falls on Friday. For overtime work during the daytime, an additional payment of 125% is required, and for overtime work at night - 150%. The employer may replace the salary increase by providing an additional day off.

All employees of UAE enterprises, regardless of their position and citizenship, have the right to annual paid leave. It usually lasts 30 days. Some organizations compensate their foreign employees for the costs of air tickets purchased to travel to their home country during vacation.

The laws of the United Arab Emirates provide for a probationary period of up to 6 months. During this period, an employee who does not comply with the terms of the work contract may be fired within one day.

After the end of the probationary period, the employment contract can be terminated at the request of either party by notifying the other one month in advance. If dismissal occurs before the expiration of one year from the date of conclusion of the contract, then the administration of the enterprise has the right to demand from former employee reimbursement of all expenses incurred in connection with his employment. These include the costs of processing the documents necessary for hiring and purchasing air tickets.

The activities of trade unions and the organization of strikes are prohibited in the United Arab Emirates. All disputes arising between participants in working relationships are considered by the country’s Immigration Service and the Ministry of Labor. Their decisions can be appealed in court.

Specialties in demand in the United Arab Emirates

The greatest shortage of personnel is experienced by UAE enterprises operating in the services and trade sectors. Our compatriots without special labor get a job:

  • waiters;
  • bartenders;
  • animators;
  • cooks;
  • sellers and consultants of retail stores;
  • parking attendants.

In addition, boys and girls from Russia and the CIS countries often find jobs as stewards and stewardesses in the airlines of the United Arab Emirates; employers conduct interviews with potential employees in major cities our states. For applicants who have passed competitive selection, companies pay for the flight to the UAE and the preparation of the necessary documents.

Despite a significant decline in oil prices, the construction industry continues to actively develop in the UAE. For its successful functioning, a constant influx of specialists is required. different professions, starting with builders and ending with real estate sales managers.

Computer technology experts are in high demand in the UAE labor market. Programmers and system administrators can easily find high-paying jobs in almost any city in the country.

Salary amount

UAE laws do not define a minimum wage. Enterprises in the country have the right to independently decide how much their employees will receive.

Today, the lowest wages in the country are among low-skilled workers. Thus, the salary of cleaners and landscapers often does not exceed 1,500 thousand dirhams per month (27,000 rubles). Such low level wages is explained by the huge number of visitors from the poorest countries in Asia who are willing to work for any money.

Labor in the service sector is valued somewhat higher. The average salary in hotels and restaurants is 2,500 dirhams per month (about 45,000 rubles). In addition, their employees receive free housing, food and transportation to their place of work.

Highly qualified specialists earn significantly more. Depending on their position and work experience, their monthly income ranges from 8,000 to 30,000 dirhams (144,000 - 540,000).

Features of official employment of immigrants in the United Arab Emirates

Any foreigner who meets the following requirements of the country's immigration service can enter the UAE:

  • age not older than 50 years;
  • good health;
  • availability of a job offer from an enterprise located in the United Arab Emirates.

To enter the country for the purpose of employment, a work visa is required. It is issued in the UAE by an employer intending to hire a foreigner. The future immigrant is only required to send him a completed application form in English, a copy of his foreign passport and two color photographs. In some cases, a certificate of education may be required, the validity of which has been confirmed by the UAE consulate. To undergo the diploma legalization procedure you must:

  1. Receive an archival certificate from the graduated educational institution.
  2. Certify the translation of a diploma or certificate to Arabic at a notary;
  3. Confirm the notary's credentials with the Ministry of Justice of your home country.
  4. Certify the seal of the Ministry of Justice at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  5. Provide the diploma and archival certificate to the UAE consulate for examination.

In case of a positive decision by the authorities of the United Arab Emirates, confirmation of extradition work visa sent to email applicant within 2–3 weeks. To successfully cross the border, it must be printed on a color printer and presented to the customs officer.

All migrant workers arriving in the UAE are required to undergo a medical examination, which necessarily includes HIV tests. All expenses for its implementation are borne by the receiving party.

The validity of a work visa does not exceed 60 days. During this time, the employer must transfer the foreigner’s (Russian, Ukrainian) passport to the immigration service for affixing a resident visa to it. In addition to it, the migrant receives plastic card, identifying him in the UAE (Resident ID). Since 2014, this document has replaced the previously issued work permit (Labor Card).

A resident visa is usually issued for three years. After the expiration date, it can be extended. To do this, the employer who hired the foreign employee again contacts the local immigration office.

Early dissolution employment contract will result in visa cancellation and a six-month ban on working in the country. This can only be avoided by receiving from the employer a document indicating the absence of claims - No Objection Certificate. UAE enterprises are extremely reluctant to agree to issue it, so it is almost impossible to change jobs.

Consequences of illegal migration

Only citizens of the Gulf States have the right to work in the UAE without obtaining any documents. All other foreigners must obtain a resident visa and ID card in a timely manner.

UAE authorities strictly enforce immigration and labor laws. All enterprises in the country are regularly inspected by authorized bodies. Employers found hiring illegal migrants are punishable by a fine of up to 300,000 dirhams (5,400,000 rubles) and imprisonment for at least 2 months. The failed employee will also suffer the well-deserved punishment. He will be arrested for 2-3 months and deported from the country. In addition, a foreigner will have to pay 100 dirhams (1,800 rubles) for each day of illegal stay in the country.

Opportunities for internships at enterprises

Most hotels and restaurants in the United Arab Emirates are happy to hire young interns from other countries. They are provided not only with free housing and food, but also with a salary of at least 1,500 dirhams (26,211 rubles).

Subtleties of business immigration

The United Arab Emirates attracts businessmen from all over the world due to the almost complete absence of taxes and the high solvency of the population. But starting your own business in this country is not so easy. According to UAE laws, at least 51% of any enterprise must be owned by a citizen of the country, so the first priority of a foreigner who decides to open a business is to find a local partner. A similar service is provided by specialized Arab companies. Its cost usually ranges from 10,000 to 25,000 dirhams per year (190,000–450,000 rubles).

After a partner has been found, it is necessary to begin registering a new enterprise. This procedure can vary significantly depending on the type of organization being established. So, in order to open a Limited Liability Company, you will need:

  • open a bank account and transfer the authorized capital to it (the amount of the minimum contribution depends on local laws and ranges from 40,000 to 80,000 dirhams or 720,000–1,440,000 rubles);
  • reserve the trade name of the company;
  • enter into a lease agreement for office or retail space;
  • obtain prior permission to register an enterprise from the Emirate Department of Economic Affairs;
  • draw up and sign constituent documents;
  • obtain a license to engage in the chosen activity.

You can avoid the lengthy and complicated procedure for opening a business by purchasing already ready business. Small shops, cafes and beauty salons are especially in demand among migrants from Russia and the CIS countries. The average cost of such objects ranges from 100,000 to 400,000 dirhams (1,800,000–7,200,000 rubles).

Owners of enterprises registered in the UAE receive a three-year resident visa. If the company is successful, the visa can be extended an unlimited number of times.

Let's imagine that you wanted to go to Dubai and find a job there, but you are afraid that you won't succeed and don't know where to start. I hasten to please you, this is far from difficult, I will show you step by step guide, which will help you quickly find a job and start earning $1,000 or more on your own.

How to find a job in Dubai

1. To begin with, you need to have small savings, this will be enough for the first time.

2. The price will include:

Buy a ticket XXX - Dubai - XXX, buy full fare tickets with full price, you can (Y) class or those in which you can return at any time for the return trip or re-issue for another date. This is usually done when you have already got a job and you don’t have to go back to your home. If you couldn’t find a job, then you already have a ticket as insurance.

Tourist visa and visit visa

You can apply for a tourist visa or visit visa either from your travel company, or you can find people who are already making such a visa at half the price on the website http://dubai.dubizzle.com/property-for-rent/residential/ apartmentflat/. With this visa, you will fly into Dubai International Airport and go through the Security Checkpoint. The duration of the visa will be about a month and therefore you will also have exactly a month to find a job.

Housing

Housing – it is advisable to think in advance about where you will live in the near future. Either this is a hotel, but it will cost you a pretty penny, or you can find cheap bed space housing (about 1000 dirhams per month) through an ad http://dubai.dubizzle.com/property-for-rent/residential/apartmentflat/ or newspapers about 274 dollars). The difference between the second and the first is that in the room where you will sleep there will be a lot of you, since housing in Dubai is expensive and therefore from 2 to 8 and even more people. There is another option to live with your friends, if you have them, but prepare for the worst (just kidding). The housing will be normal, the main thing is that you can get along with other nationalities from other countries, and this you already know is a foreign religion, cuisine, ritual and others. Here's some advice: look for a room where Russian speakers from the CIS countries live, it will be easier and more useful for you with them. Ours will quickly explain to you what's what.

international passport

Your international passport must be available; without it you will not be allowed to leave the airport from where you will be departing. In some CIS countries, an OVIR is pasted into the passport, which is also permission to travel abroad. If everything is in order, obtaining a passport will not be a big problem.

3. That's it, you have a ticket in your hands, you have a visa to Dubai and you know where you will stay for the first time, but what next? And then the most important thing is to get to Dubai and start looking for a job as soon as possible.

Search for work via the Internet, useful sites

One of the ways to find a job is through Internet search engines and employer websites, one of them will be:

  • http://dubai.dubizzle.com/jobs/,
  • http://chatru.com/uae/,
  • http://www.emiratesgroupcareers.com/english/,
  • http://dubaiemploymenttips.com/recruitment-agencies/list/etc.

There are a huge number of such companies, maybe you’ll get lucky. But there is a small problem, the probability that you will be invited based on your application via the Internet is 0.0001%. You might be lucky if you are a stunning girl or a really sought-after specialist, but this is also a negligible chance. Usually, employers do not weed out each contestant one by one, but simply stupidly divide them into two piles, one in the trash can as a pile of losers, and the other, as if there is still a chance to find something there. Therefore, your resume on the Internet must be unique in order to attract an employer.

Job search is through a recruiting company (recruitment agency)

Another way to find a job is through a recruiting company (recruitment agency) or as they call themselves Head Hunter (head hunters - that is, smart heads). On the plus side, your chance of finding a job will be doubled, you don’t have to go to Dubai to look for work, they will do all the legal work themselves. Of the minuses, the very high cost of services after concluding a contract, there are no guarantees that you will like it there or not, and it will be very difficult to get an interview right away since the number of clients of their agency will be very high, thereby they will be invited to almost all interviews with employers; increased competition for one in a word. www.perune.ru, http://www.global-vision.ru/, etc.

Finding a job on your own

A way to come to Dubai yourself and find yourself suitable job according to your requirements and your level of knowledge. It is about the last method that we started this guide.

Finding Local Jobs in Dubai

4. So, we have briefly dealt with all types of entry and types of job search, now let’s focus on the option when you decide to come yourself and try your luck. Let's fast forward a little, and so you safely passed visa control and left the airport, got to your place of temporary residence and that's it, what now? Now the real job search begins short term, if you are purposeful and don’t give up, then everything will work out for you.

First, print out your resume, preferably there will be a lot of them. I hope you won’t have to explain how to prepare a resume; we’ll assume that you know how to do it; if not, ask someone who can do it for you in English. Your resume is ready, now take it and go to the city center, to various recruiting companies, shopping centers, restaurants, hotels, cafes, supermarkets, etc. Go everywhere and leave your original resume wherever you are. Be sure to write down which companies you have already submitted your resume to and if you receive a call from this company, be sure to find out all the details on the Internet so that you can be confident in the interview with the employer.

The second option is to buy a local newspaper and highlight the main vacancies, get a phone number or e-mail, try to get in touch with them. If everything goes smoothly, you will already be offered a job. Don’t expect anything, you will have tough competitors from other countries who, just like you, want to find a decent job. So take advantage of every opportunity.

First, remember - you will need to gain a foothold in Dubai, and this will be very difficult to do the first time, so you will not get a good job right away; you may be offered a job in the service sector. But this is also a plus, as soon as you get a job, it doesn’t matter which one you adapt at first, and then if you don’t like it, you simply change it to another one in accordance with their laws.

You found a job - what next?

5. About the main thing, well, you got your job, even if it’s not the one you dreamed of, but still the goal has been achieved, but what’s next? Now everything is simple: they buy you a round-trip ticket to Oman, so that you can fly out of the country and cancel your tourist visa, and then fly back with a copy or original of a new resident visa, which already allows you to work here legally and freely.

Wage

Important information - wages here are different, so don’t be happy that you will be paid about 800 or 600 dollars, maybe in your country this is a lot of money, but here it’s not very much.

6. Further, even if you were offered such a salary, do not be discouraged, because you always have to start somewhere and if you decide to develop further here, then everything will be fine. Your level of English should be sufficient for you to be able to earn a normal salary; if your level is weak or you don’t know it at all, then your salary will be correspondingly low. It is advisable to save some money and get a local driver's license, since good work always require local licenses. You can also unlearn your license if it is legalized under international standard, or you can pay part of the total amount for training, since you already have a driving license.

I wish you good luck in your job search and welcome to the UAE!

The United Arab Emirates is included in the list of the richest countries in the world. There are practically no poor people here, it is noted high level life, government benefits are paid.

Salary in Dubai

Foreigners can also count on higher salaries if they are highly qualified specialists. For people from the CIS countries, it seems that even janitors and cleaners here have fairly decent salaries. There is no fixed minimum wage or standard benefits in Dubai. They depend on qualifications, nationality, experience and other factors.

Popular professions for foreigners

Salaries in Dubai can be both minimum and maximum, even for foreigners. When employed as a waiter, janitor, maid and other unskilled positions, applicants can expect a salary of up to 1.5-2.5 thousand dollars. But there are also in-demand specialties that pay well without additional advanced training courses:

  • flight attendants, pilots and airport workers;
  • scientists, regardless of industry;
  • computer technology specialists;
  • system administrators;
  • managers for the sale of building materials, cars and real estate.

Russian doctors are most valued in the United Arab Emirates as excellent specialists not only in making the correct diagnosis, but also in treatment. The Russian school of medicine is highly valued in this country. But on good positions It's not so easy to get to in the United Arab Emirates. There is a tough selection. But the wages of the same doctors are appropriate - over 50,000 dirhams (translated into Russian money - 900 thousand rubles).

Minimum wage

Low salaries in Dubai are mainly received by those who do manual work. In the majority, it goes to citizens of Asian countries, mainly immigrants from India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Pakistan. They work 12-hour shifts for weeks on end. The low salary category includes:

  • nannies;
  • maids;
  • security guards;
  • gardeners;
  • drivers.

How much does a janitor earn in Dubai? Since this handmade, she is classified as low-paid. Janitors receive $500 monthly. But they are provided with free housing, which attracts foreigners.

The minimum wages for maids, for example, are equal to those established by the local government. Russian women receive higher salaries. They are valued for their balance and patience. Girls from other countries have different salaries:

  • female workers from Sri Lanka - 850 dirhams;
  • from India - 1100;
  • Bangladesh - 750;

Teachers' salaries

Working as a teacher in Dubai brings a small profit to the latter. Teachers receive only Dh2,000 per month. But this is not the final bet. For example, teachers at private foreign schools receive between Dh5,000 and Dh15,000. Some teachers are even luckier. Their salary reaches 20 thousand monthly.

Interestingly, teacher pay, even within the same school, can vary greatly. This largely depends on the nationality of the teacher. IN government institutions they receive from 25 thousand dirhams. In addition to nationality, remuneration also depends on work experience.

Policeman salary
