I presume they mean residency visa. It's so you can stay & work there.



When I gave presentations I used to say that there wre no stupid questions, only stupid answers. I didn't mean it of couse!

Basically, your passport and birth certificate, your employer will do everything else, and if you want to sponsor your wife and kids (assuming you have) then you'll need your marriage certificate and your wife/kids birth certificates.

At least that's how it is in Dubai.

Bring originals and photocopies of birth certificates, marriage certificates, university degree, driving license...you should be OK without school reports though.

Thanks all. The company already has all that info, and yes it is residency visa, and I am sponsoring wife and the little darlings, so they have copies of these as well.

I prefer the alternative (as quoted for example by Mr Garrison on South Park:

"Remember, Eric, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people"
