Hi, my boyfriend has been offered a job in project management in Dubai, we are not married so looking for advice on what this means? I have read I would need to work or leave every 60 days and re enter? I'm currently a nursery practitioner, also looking for advice for if anyone has done this job there. Thank you.

A quick answer apologies …… The law has changed relatively recently in that you can now legally cohabit etc as an unmarried couple. If you enter on a tourist visa you will need to abide by the conditions which I believe gives you 30 days plus another 30 day extension. There are plenty of nurseries here so would depend on your qualifications and experience etc as to whether you can get a job but I would say it’s not impossible. Seems to be a fair few positions online. There are also other options for a visa that you could explore depending on your circumstances.

If you're looking to avoid the 60 day exits you can either get married and your fella can then sponsor you, or you can find a job. Lots of nurseries in Dubai - salaries seem to be stagnating but if you're on two incomes that won't be an issue unless you're living it large like some expats seem to do.
