Yes, you said that. How about renting a car for the day/getting a taxi/getting the bus.

Shirley if it's important to you you can do that?

Yeah, actually it's not really that. My experience with the AD govenment (I used to work for them) is that you never really get a straight answer. Hence this ridiculous situation we're in now. I could get a day off work and take my son off school for the day, drive all the way there, to be told they don't know. Or worse, to be told the wrong answer.

I didn't mean ask a question, I meant get the visa.

Take everything (including the kitchen sink), explain it to the Captain and I'm more than certain you'll walk out with a visa.

All done and dusted in a couple of hours, no need for master LaLaLayla to take a day off school.

No, we can't get a Visa without a Tenancy Contract attested by Ojari.

Thought I'd leave that one rather than correcting an angry mother.

I've just remembered my boss had to get it Ejari'd to sort his kiddies visa or maid's visa. I don't think the landlord needs to do anything Lala, I think you just take it and pay 160dhs and it's done.

Yeah, but you need the Title Deeds and the landlord won't give them to us.

You're meant to get them when you rent the place. Have you been in less than a year? Ring the agent?

Tell the Landlord you legally have to have it...

Yes, we moved there in June. He has told us that we can have it... once we sign the Vacation Notice.

As I said before, here in AD I have never needed a copy of the tenancy for my children's visa (OK, I realise rules might have changed in the past year since we last did it). As most of the other posters here seem to be Dubai residents, can I again ask why you need it? Are you absolutely sure AD visas require it?

My company just renewed my own residency visa, less than a month ago, and even I didn't need to provide my tenancy agreement, so why do you need it for a baby?

Why would you vacate though?

They (probably) legally have to give it to you when you move in.

Get one of the local girls to ring him and hammer him, or just ring the police

OK, just spoke to my HR and PRO (we are AD based, with several hundred western employees, so they do this a lot). Technically you are correct - that was news to me. However - in reality, they said if you go into the MoI yourself, first floor on the left somewhere, there is a Captain or Lt who is "the waiver guy". You explain to him why you don't have a copy of the tenancy, he stamps a form and you get your visa. As long as you don't look like you are someone who is likely to be living in a 30-man sub-leased tenement, you'll be fine. But they did think it would take a trip in person, or by a helpful local PRO who can vouch for you. As I said, they didn't even ask for my tenancy agreement.
