Default Spouse Work Visa in Dubai ?

Sorry if this is the most asked question, but it's difficult to find a straight answer. I will be working in Dubai, sponsored by my company, and my wife would like to work too. She is a nurse. Is it true that because I will have a visa, that she can automatically work ? Also, am I correct that nurses will easily get work ?

Thanks again !

Cant' answer those, but sounds like being a nurse, could get work easy, but shite pay...as lots come ove from thailand etc so there's no real shortage.

As for visa's, look at the embassy websites, links are posted inthe lifestyle faq's...

welcome to the site btw

Helo Walkebab....... Welcome to the forum.

Well if u will be sponsored by ur company, then ur wife will automatically be sponsored by u. If she gets a job, then I am guessing that she will have the choice of either being sponsored by her company/hospital (which wud be a good idea I suppose) or remaining on ur sponshorship.

U might want to ring up the nearest U.A.E embassy to u (check the FAQ's for the #'s) or u could get in touch with the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department (DNRD) and c wot they have to say:

Bob........... wud be a good idea to add this link into the FAQ's aswell.

Face,

You continue to amaze me. How on earth do you know all of this information. You seem to be able to answer any question at the drop of a hat.

I know what you are going to say............. its because you are the one and only Oracle. Ha Ha Ha

A huge fountain of knowledge. You deserve a drink on me
