Dubai won't know whats hit it with all these Yorkshire folk! HaHa!

I've got a job teaching at one of the GEMS schools and my husband to be (who is from the wrong side...Lancashire! haha! ) will be looking for work when he gets out there.

Will defiantly need to arrange some Yorkshire beers!

Hi Helen
Bev and i had to get married, i moved out here on the 6th June then flew back home 23rd June to get married so i could sponser Bev and she could come over for good , i never thought i would have to have a shotgun wedding!!
what part of Dubai are you looking to live in, I believe but its only my opinion that the Dubai Marina, springs,Jumeriah village triangle are good places to live, a lot of expats live in this area but its a good 30mins into the creek area of Dubai ,but we are close to the beach and shopping malls.
Let us know when you are coming and we all must meet up for a beer,also if you need any help regarding visas etc let us know, just make sure you get all your documentation for you both attested in the uk before you come out here, its a paperwork minefield out in Dubai ,you need alot of days in building queing to be told you have not got all your paperwork right and come back another day, everyone gets there in the end tho

regards Ian and Bev

I've got a job teaching so accommodation has been arranged by them. Not sure on the details yet. Our wedding was already planned, just threw a move to Dubai in the mix!

Just trying to sort out getting our belongings out now, seems trickier than first thought!

She has brought some alchohol with here, good girl,

Good to here from you Helen, as Ian said we have both just gone through all the processes so if you need anything give us a shout

Hi Andy
glad your family arrived ok, i have to sponser Bev when she arrives i have most of the documentation but do you have to get your tennency agreement attested and what do you write on the letter of no objection letter you have to submit,i should imagine its just as it says you have no objection!, have you done your documentation yet? if so what did you do?

Hi Ian

They have arrived and are loving it..

My company is dealing with it all, but wont start the process untill they have the Atested Marriage and Birth Certificates which are due any time now, so i dont really know the process yet

So cant really advise on anything yet,

As i go through it i will keep you informed
