Application tips for Dubai
- Use only recruitment agencies licensed by the destination country's labor ministry — never pay agencies upfront fees beyond what's officially allowed.
- Get a clear written contract before traveling — covering salary, hours, weekly day off, end-of-service gratuity.
- Keep a copy of your passport, visa, and contract — your employer cannot legally keep them.
- Send savings home through licensed money transfer (Western Union, Wise, UAE Exchange) — not through informal channels.
