For locally recruited candidates in the UAE, how can I get a No Objection Letter (NOL) from my company without resigning?
Certain companies do give their employees NOLs. If the only way out to get a NOL is for you to resign, then you will have to make that decision and take that risk.

My Job Designation is different on my employment visa and in the offer letter. Why?

Will the company give me accommodation for the first few days when I arrive in UAE if I am not eligible for company accommodation?

Where and how do I get my marriage certificate attested if I am married before or after I join?
You have to get your marriage certificate first attested at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in your country and then by the UAE Consulate in your country. Once you come to Dubai, you will have to get your marriage certificate further attested with your consulate here in the UAE. If your country does not have a consulate here in Dubai, then you may get your marriage certificate attested at your country's consulate or Embassy in any of the neighboring countries to the UAE. There are some exceptions so please discuss your own situation and requirements with your Recruitment Co-ordinator. |

Can I travel to UAE along with my family when I join? Will AL FARA'A Group arrange and pay for their visas? (Applicable to certain grades only)
It is strongly recommended that your family travel 2-3 months after your arrival, so that you can get residence visas for them once your own residence visa is endorsed. This avoids your family having to leave the country (UAE) and return again on residence visas, and this way they are required to make only one permanent entry. Please note that you have to sort out all documents, which are required, like the passports, marriage certificate, etc., beforehand, so that you don't waste time upon your arrival in UAE. The AL FARA'A Group will assist staff in obtaining visas and these charges are only paid for by the AL FARA'A Group for certain positions. This will be advised by your Recruitment Co-ordinator at the time of joining. |

Does the AL FARA'A Group have an induction programme for new joiners?
Yes. Al Fara'a group has an induction programme which is categorized as per grades. |

Do I need to do a full Medical or an X-ray?
Considering the UAE Employment rules and regulation this could be a pre-requisite for your employment in UAE, which will be confirmed to you by the Recruitment Co-ordinator. |
12 |
Who do I call or email for guidance whether a pre existing condition is covered or not by the medical scheme?
You may contact the Recruitment Coordinator. The final decision is taken by our Chief Medical Officer and you will be advised accordingly before joining. As with all insurance companies there is an exclusion list and any pre existing conditions are normally exclusion. |

Why do we need to do an HIV test, and what will happen if we fail?
