Default Is a Degree needed?

Hi,

Do you need a degree to work in Dubai? My partner has had a job offer without one but has not accepted it as is holding out for another job offer...

There seems to be delay with this and i wonder if it is because he doesnt have a degree...they knew this but now seem worried about getting him a visa....he has good experience and has had no trouble getting interviews.

I smell a rat but your thoughts would be welcome!!

Thanks!

Hi

Not necessarily but also it depends on the job?

Then doubtful that he needs a degree. To obtain a visa he will need to have his high school cert and any other diplomas he may have,

Hope all goes well

Hi Kate,

I can only say from personal experience that I just accepted a very good investor relations and PR job in Dubai and I don't have a degree.

No degree required in FreeZones e.g. Internet City.

Or outside of freezones for that matter.

It's up to individual companies.
