If you have plans to move to UAE for work or to join your family, or if you have plans to visit UAE, please take into consideration the following 10 tips:
1. Your passport and visa are your most valuable documents when you are in UAE. Always keep your passport and visa valid. In fact, ensure that your passport is valid at least more than six months.
2. Keep all your cheque books, credit cards, other financial documents, etc., in your personal custody; misuse of these even by anyone can cause trouble for an account holder.
3. Islam is the major religion in the UAE; everyone should respect Muslims' prayer 5 times a day.
4. Familiarise yourself with local laws, and their impact on your personal circumstances, before you travel.
5. Cross the road only from the designated pedestrian crossings and take particular care, as vehicles will not always give way.
6. Must obtain a valid work permit from the UAE Ministry of Labour before taking up any form of employment in the UAE.
7. Before travelling to UAE take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation.
8. Respect the UAE's national symbols, flag, and other national symbols.
9. Show special considerations during Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting - it is not allowed to drink, eat or smoke in public from sunrise to sunset.
10. Before leaving UAE, must cancel your work visa and settle everything including bank account, credit card, phone connection, etc.
