VISIT VISA TO WORKING VISA ILLEGAL?

PH_BH2020

Dear All,


I saw an article online about job hunting in Dubai on tourist visa is illegal.

Is it true? I know many people on tourist visa were able to convert to working visa.

@PH_BH2020 working on a visit visa is illegal. If you have found any work opportunity, your employer must apply for your employment visa.

@zoescarlett yes, the headline in the article is misleading.

Yeah, it's true that job hunting on a tourist visa in Dubai is illegal. A lot of people still do it and get away with it, but technically, if you get caught, you could face fines or even deportation.
