I'm living and working in Doha, Qatar now. Sunshine every day, I don't need worry about raining and cold weather so that basically I'm happy here.

By the way, I noticed that I did not require any copy of school certificates, even other arabs or asian staff required massive amount of copy of certificates, when my employer applied a working permit for me. I asked my friends (British and French) in Oman, they also did not require any copy of school certificates.

I'm interesting about this somehow. So that any Gulf country, Kuwait or Bahrain or UAE or Saudi Arabia, don't required any copy of certificates when British people apply working permit??

If you know this, please inform me.

Thanks,

I needed to provide the authenticated original certificate (in my case it was a Masters) signed by a solicitor and authenticated by the Foreign Office and the UAE embassy in London. That was for my first job here which was under a Dubai Labour Department visa.

for my new job in a Freezone I did not have to provide it.

I believe it depends on the post you're holding at whichever company you're in. As in, if it is a Managerial post or an administrative post, you're required to have atleast a Bachelor's Degree. (Its a requirement of the Labour Department).
Other positions for example secretaries etc. dont require such certificates.

That's what my understanding is.

You don't need to have a degree to work anywhere in Dubai. It is up to the company to decide if it wishes to ask for one. But there are no rules about having a degree in order to work in management.
