Needed mine to receive a DHL package, however overseas they wouldn't accept it because it was in arabic but they did accept an expired drivers licence

Company paid for mine because it's compulsory.

It became enforced properly after I moved here and I told them I wouldn't pay for it because it's compulsory and I wasn't warned about it before moving here....despite it having been going on for ages.

Just make someone else pay.

Although I doubt the 300 dizzers is your main issue with the ID card.

Fair enough, maybe I was lucky.

I know why you don't like them, I get it. I just think you've probably got other shit to worry about, like when you're going to give me money so I can go on safari.

Stop being selfish.

Kittykat, my employers pay hardly anything beyond salary, housing and homeward flights but they DO pay for my ID and that of my family because it's a government requirement, just like procuring and renewing our UAE visas. Run it past them one more time.
