Does the home country work experience count when applying for jobs in Dubai? Can they interview you online?

Hi Nauman

It is more than likely that your home country experience would be held in consideration - it is the biggest indicator aside from any qualifications you may have that you are capable of doing the job you apply for.

We usually recommend finding a job before you move to Dubai. It may come with its challenges and take some time, but this is usually preferable to landing in a strange country without any networks or immediate prospects.

Have a look at our Working in Dubai page for more on this subject. I would also have a look at our Visas for Dubai and Work Permits for Dubai pages to find out whether you're likely to meet the requirements to be able to work in the country.

Hope this helps, best of luck.

Hi Xavier Thanks for the response, it really helps. I have been applying from my home country for the past few months but I wasn't able to get any response so it prompted me to ask the question here. I do have extensive experience and I have BS Computer Sciences and MBA qualifications so I am confident that I meet the requirements to be able to work in UAE. Nevertheless thanks for your feedback, I'd put more efforts into my job hunt and lets see if I get noticed. Thanks again Regards Nauman Ali Khan
