1 year in Dubai as a South African (Honest Review)
After spending a whole year in Dubai, I thought it would be the perfect time to share my honest review of what it’s really like living here. From the culture and lifestyle to the challenges I faced, this is my personal experience. Whether you're thinking about moving to Dubai or just curious about life in this city, in this video I’ll give you a no-filter look at the highs and lows.
This is only my third video, so I'm still learning the ropes, but I wanted to keep it real, sharing my personal experience.
Hope you enjoy it!

    how much time did it take you to have your Emirates ID and then the bank account ?

    • @MATTY_VENTURES
      @MATTY_VENTURES Місяць тому

      It took roughly 2-3 weeks for my ID and then about a 3-4 days to get my cards delivered for my banking.

      Oh man thats too much time to get the ID. Restricted to rent and paying out of pocket for accommodation. I heard for some cases, it took about 5 days to get ID for some people

    Hey Matty, thanks for the great video🔥.. I want to ask how it'll go about, if one works online or makes money online..so basically not having to move there based on getting a job with a certain company. Is there gonna be certain requirements, as most people move to Dubai based on work. How does that go about if you have any idea perhaps. Moving to Dubai but working online.

      Hey Hey , always exciting to be making these decisions. I am not 100% clued up on that but as far as I know there is a freelance visa that you would have to get to be able to work here or work under a company that would sponsor you to be here. I would recommend to have a chat with some agencies that help with visas such as JackyWorldwide.com. Hope this helps 🙏🏻

    Hi there, where in Dubai do you live. What do you advise for someone who will work in the business bay but needs to be close to the tram, metro station, busses etc.

    • @MATTY_VENTURES
      @MATTY_VENTURES 5 місяців тому

      Hi There, I am based in Sports City. Most of Dubai is accessible by bus or metro. Area will be very much dependant on what you would like to pay on accommodation.

    Please don't take this the wrong way but the vibe I'm getting is that your family and fiance want you to man up and stand on your own two feet. I know it can be scary setting up any kind of life on your own but your relationship will be manifold stronger for what she sees you've built for yourself when she sees you . Go for it bro . Get down the gym and hang with some bros . Top man 👊👊👊👍👍👍
