Resident/work permit requirements
My husband is now in Al Ain and has told me that in order for us to rent a property when I eventually get there I need to get our marriage certificate attested at the UAE Embassy. He also said that if I want to work when I get there - no matter how much or how little work I want to do - I need to get my highest education certificate attested. Therein lies a small problem as I do not think I have my education certificate any more Does anyone know if it has to be an education (school) certificate - I did not do any further education so high school was it - or if it can be a qualification (such as in the fitness industry) I have obtained since leaving school?
Thanks all

A marriage certificate to rent a property? I know Al Ain is conservative, but I've never heard of anyone having to do that.
Professional qualificiation, assuming related to required field of work, is fine.

Re: Resident/work permit requirements
you do have to get attested your highest degree certification/high school certificate to get a work visa. new rule came in maybe a couple of years ago.
