Visa titles do matter. Job titles don’t, more so if you have the visa on a crap passport.

You've been here for 17 years, well you must be right then.

Thanks Scamp, and that's why I was only going for one with a motor. Riding two push bikes is very difficult.

Tbf, I had problems booking a meeting pass in JAFZA as my designation was not 'manager' level. I'm listed down as a software engineer lol...

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, commonly used by the lowest form of life!!

Very good a list of Job designations indicating what certificate of education is required...not a list of designations where you can have more than 1 car or anything else!!!

In fairness, I've heard this before that titles can help etc etc.

But similarly, I've never heard of anyone having to leave because of their visa title.

Owww, so by being sarcastic to your many many many years of residence (mine being only a few years in excess of 10yrs, but yet to reaching the giddy heights of 17yrs) I'm now the "lowest form of life".... Wow, well that escalated quickly! Anything else, what happens if I tell a knock knock joke? Child murderer?

As for the list, you said... and I quote "Plus I have never ever seen a list of designations, and what is more doubt there is such a thing!" That was a list of designations.... the fact they had required certificates is incidental.

As for differences between different designations, Khaleej Times (2014 so not sure if still valid) reports that certain designations are exempt from bans where others or not. Archives Clerk being one of them.

It does, however, seem that they now use profession categories now....

Where is the one that says you cannot own 2 cars and a motorbike Snowflake.

Plus I have better things to do in my life than argue semantics with you, as you always come across as combative and look for arguments when there are none...so this will be the end of topic ping pong.

The examples you have given have no bearing on the debate we were having, the ban on certain levels is not enforceable as per labour law anymore, plus you can pay to have it it removed!!

And why does me having been here 17 years such an irritant to you, very peurile!!

Bye Thrush

That list isn't entirely correct, I have no degree, yet hold a title (on visa and in practice) that apparently requires one.
