Don't quit until you get the signed contract!

Thanks Sandman,

thanks for the information,
but as i can go with a tourist visa; and i live in oman so very close to dubai,
do i really need to wait for the work visa?

I understand that being French you can get a visa upon arrival.

The point of waiting for the work visa is twofold. A- You are damn sure they are serious about the whole thing and they have already processed your contract with the Ministry of Labor and Dept of Immigration. and B- There is NO way they can revoke their offer/contract sent over to you without severe repercussions.
