Hi guys,

Can anyone advise what the actual (if any) qualifications are required to obtain the initial employment visa from the relevant departments in dubai.

I have my official offer in the construction industry from my employer and shall be moving to dubai in 6 to 8 weeks, I have notified my employer of my qualifications (HNC in UK)however my employer has asked to see my degree my degree certificate (which i have told them i do not have). I was wondering if this has just been misunderstood in the translation or is there a specific requirement for a degree to work in the UAE.

I have yet to hand my notice in in the UK and am just worrying about problems with gaining a visa.

Thanks
