  • West African job-seekers are a favourite target for fake Emirates and hotel offers.
  • If they want a ‘medical and visa fee’ before you have an employer letter on letterhead, stop.
  • Cabin crew, engineers and hospitality still hire — on emiratesgroupcareers.com and the hotel group’s own site, not a Lagos Instagram page.
  • Convert AED to dollars first.
  • A 12,000 dirham job is about USD 3,270 a month before you touch naira.
  • That is a JVC or Deira life if you pay your own rent, not Downtown.
  • Bring attested documents if the role is regulated.
  • A visit visa is for interviews; working on it is how people get fined.
  • Once you land: Silver NOL, a tourist SIM until Emirates ID, and do not hand your passport to a PRO you have not met through HR.
  • Family follow-on needs the ICP salary floor and housing proof.

Practical notes, not official law. Confirm on ICP, MOHRE, RTA, KHDA and your employer before you act.
