One of the best things in working in Dubai is the no tax levied from the income from your employment. This would make your income tax free as long as you are working on this place. Foreigners working there really enjoy this benefit that other countries can’t offer.

Before working in Dubai, detailed planning should be considered. This is a foreign land where everything is different especially on the culture. For some, they go to Dubai holding only tourist VISA. Once they reach there, they will try their luck applying local jobs. Though this is good for some, for some they went home empty handed. Applying jobs in Dubai can be tedious and sometimes lead to a job, which you do not want. Or sometimes no job at all.

Application thru a legitimate job placement agency is still the best way to land a job in Dubai. This is the safest method, though you need to pay for the agency. In Philippines, there are lots of agencies that deploy workers with professional and no professional background for various job positions. In Dubai alone, you can also find lots of employment agencies. Even by searching the Internet, lots of job placement or endless list of agencies will lead you to a job in Dubai. Since this could be risky, applying face to face and meeting the agency staff is still the best way.

One annoyance that many people complain about is that recruiting agencies often request a fee to sign up with them and/or to be placed in a job. This is not allowed according to the UAE Ministry of Labour, so it would make sense to try and find a job agency that doesn't charge a fee. There are agencies (usually online) for jobs in Dubai that operate out of another country and so could claim to be able to legitimately charge you a fee. However, many other countries ban this practice also. Employment agencies normally get their fees from the employer, not the employee.

Once you have a job offer from the agency, they will process everything for you including your VISA. All you need to do is to pay for their service and all the cost that may incur on the processing of your papers.
