They reach at four international airports of United Arab Emirates for connecting flights. Such people also often enjoy the beautiful tourist destinations of UAE during this journey.
If you want to avail this opportunity, you will have to apply for a transit visa that allows you to exit the airport and enjoy the many tourist destinations in the Emirates.
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA) Dubai has informed the passengers on its social media channels that they can apply for a 96-hours entry permit of 72-hours transit visa upon arrival in the UAE.
When applying for a transit visa at the immigration counter, the candidate will have to provide the following documents.
Original passport, an airline ticket that indicates that you will continue your journey and that it is a minimum of eight hours and a maximum of 96 hours after your entry into your country to depart for your destination.
Hotel booking is also required for transit visa of Dubai.
You also may visit airline’s office for this purpose. There, ask the airline’s service officer to provide you with a 96-hour entry permit. If your application is accepted, you will receive confirmation.
Then you have to meet with the passport officer at the immigration counter and complete the rest of the procedure. According to the UAE’s official website, if you are not eligible for a tourist visa upon entering the country, you can apply for a transit visa.
Who can apply for a transit visa?
If you are traveling by a UAE airline, you can apply for a transit visa. They can arrange a transit visa for you. If your trip is through a travel agency, they can also arrange a transit visa for you.
According to a public relations officer of a Dubai based travel agency, passengers can also apply for their transit visa if they book tickets through the travel agency.

You are going to apply for a visa and want to know the minimum bank balance for Schengen Visa. Well, we have answered your query with a complete explanation in this blog. If you follow our instructions, no confusion will be left regarding the bank statement and show money.
However, no specific limit for minimum bank balance is described by any Schengen country yet you have to maintain your bank statement wisely. Visa/immigration officers assess your financial position both from your closing balance and transactions. Suppose that you attach a bank statement showing a 1 million balance but no regular transactions. It will weaken your case instead of empowering. You need regular transactions to prove your business activity. Otherwise, the visa officer can guess that you have borrowed funds from somewhere to get a heavy statement.
Now again the question stands, what would be the minimum bank balance for Schengen Visa. Here we can advise you, it must be the double expenditure required for your trip, at least. The average daily expense of a visitor is 60 to 80 Euro per day in a Schengen country. If you have planned a 15 days’ trip, multiply it to 15 and then to the number of persons going with you. Remember that the dues of the hotel and air ticket have already been paid.
Alternate of Minimum Bank Balance for Schengen Visa
If your bank statement is showing less balance, you can show your credit cards and mutual fund certificates, etc. If the statement is indicating a regular income and the source stated in your documents, it is sufficient and acceptable for the consular section. It is the alternative of minimum bank balance for Schengen Visa.
Keep it in your mind, you have to justify every point written in a visa form and covering letter by you. The visa officer has an idea of your income according to your profession. Don’t try to mislead him, prepare and present your case honestly. He has the right to reject your visa case in case of any doubt.
What to do in case of less income?
You should select a Schengen country with less inflation to meet the limit of minimum bank balance. You also can keep your tour plane shorter for this purpose.
In both cases, you are not bound to act the same. The Schengen visa allows you to enter any Schengen country by choice. In the same way, you can spend more days than that plane submitted with your visa application. It is totally a legal act.

کینیڈا فری ویزا
کینیڈا کے فری فارم ورکر ویزا کو کینیڈا کا فری ویزا بھی کہا جاتاہے۔ یہ ایسا ورک پرمٹ ہے جس کیلئے کسی تعلیمی قابلیت کی ضرورت ہے اور نہ ہی تجربہ درکار ہوتاہے۔ یہ ویزا حاصل کرنے کے تین طریقے ہیں۔ پہلا طریقہ ہے روایتی ایجنٹوں کا۔ جوکہ دوسال کے اس کینیڈین ورک پرمٹ کیلئے بیس سے تیس لاکھ روپے تک لے رہے ہیں۔ حالانکہ یہ بالکل فری ہوتا ہے۔ ایجنٹ دیگر مڈل مین کے ساتھ مل کر اس معاملے میں بھی خوب مال بناتے ہیں۔ ان کے کینیڈا میں لوگوں سے رابطے ہوتے ہیں جوکہ فارم مالکان سے معاملات طے کرکے جاب آفر اور لمیا بجھواتے ہیں۔ اس طرح یہ لوگ لمبی کمائی کرتے ہیں۔
یقیناً یہ رقم بہت زیادہ ہے۔ کینیڈا میں مسلسل کام کریں تو یہ کم از کم ڈیڑھ سال میں پوری ہوگی۔ پھر دو سال بعد پرمٹ ری نیو ہوجائے تو آپ اپنے لئے کچھ جمع کر پائیں گے۔ اگر اجرت کی بات کریں تو یہ بارہ ڈالر فی گھنٹہ ہے۔ ایجنٹ اس سلسلہ میں بہت سے سبز باغ دکھاتے ہیں۔ یہاں یہ بات واضح کرتے چلیں کہ کینیڈین فارم ورکر کی کیٹیگری سی ہے جس پر آپ پی آر اپلائی نہیں کرسکتے۔ اگر دوسال کام کرکے سپروائزر بن جائیں تو سٹیٹس بدل جائے گا اور آپ مستقل رہائشی ویزے کے اہل ہوں گے۔ اس کے لئے ضروری ہے کہ کم ازکم تعلیم انٹرمیڈیٹ ہو اور انگریزی زبان نارمل حد تک بول اور سمجھ سکتے ہوں۔ اس کے علاوہ فارم ورکر دوماہ بعد اپنی بیوی اور بچوں کو بھی کینیڈا بلواسکتاہے۔ تاہم بیوی کو اوپن پرمٹ نہیں ملے گا۔ جو کہ سپروائزر ہونے کی صورت میں مل سکتاہے
ایک بات اور جان لیں کہ فارم ورکرز کو کھیتوں اور باغات میں کام کرنا ہوتاہے جوکہ سیزنل کام ہے ۔ سال میں تین چار ماہ فراغت ہوتو لیبر کا کوئی اورکام بھی کرسکتے ہیں ۔ رہائش اور خوراک فارم مالک کے ذمے ہوتی ہے۔ مختصراًیہ بات ذہن نشین کرلیں کہ پچیس تیس لاکھ کے عیوض یہ ویزا خریدنے کا سودا بہت مہنگاہے۔
کینیڈا فارم ورکر ویزا حاصل کرنے کا دوسرا طریقہ
کینیڈین فارم ورکر ویزا حاصل کرنے کا دوسرا طریقہ یہ ہے کہ جاب آفر خود منگوائی جائے۔ آپ نے اپنے ملک میں رہتے ہوئے ہی یہ کام کرنا ہے۔ اگر آپ کا کوئی عزیز ، رشہ دار پہلے سے کینیڈا میں موجود ہے تو یہ کام آسان ہوسکتاہے۔ بصورت دیگر کینیڈین جاب بنک ویب سائٹ پر آئے روز اس نوعیت کی ملازمتون کے ایڈز پوسٹ ہوتے ہیں۔ انڈیڈ ڈاٹ کام سے بھی استفادہ کر سکتے ہیں ۔ ان جاب ویب سائٹس سے ملازمتیں دیکھ کر اپلائی کریں۔ بہت سے کینیڈین فارمز مالکان اس طرح براہ راست بھی ورکر منگواتے ہیں ۔ آپ سے معاملات طے ہوجانے پر وہ جاب آفر، جاب ایگریمنٹ اور لمیا بھیج دیں گے ۔ جن پر آپ ایمبیسی سے ویزا لگواسکیں گے۔ اس کے بعد کسی سپانسر یا بنک سٹیٹمنٹ کی ضرورت نہیں ہوگی۔
تیسرا طریقہ خود وزٹ ویزا پر کینیڈاجاکر جاب کی تلاش ہے۔ اگرآپ کینیڈین وزٹ ویزا حاصل کرسکتے ہیں تو یہ طریقہ بہترین نتائج دے گا۔کینیڈا جاکر آپ چند ایک ایگری فارمز وزٹ کریں گے تو نوکری کے معاملات طے پاجائیں گے ۔ اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ وہاں مقامی لوگ فارم ورکر کا کام بہت کم کرتے ہیں اس لئے یہ لیبر باہر سے ہی منگوائی جاتی ہے۔ فارم کا ملک آپ کو جاب آفرلیٹر، ایگری منٹ اور لمیا بنواکر دے گا جسے لے کر آپ یوکے بارڈر ایجنسی جائیں گے جہاں چھوٹا سا انٹرویو ہوگا اور ایک سو پچپن ڈالر فیس اداکرناہوگی جس کے بعد موقع پر ہی ورک پرمٹ جاری ہوجائے گا ۔انٹرویو کےسلسلہ میں گبھرانے کی ضرورت نہیں ہے ۔ انٹرویو میں یہی پوچھا جاتا ہے کہ آپ کا ائمپلائر کون ہے؟ اس سے کیسے ملے؟ سیلری کتنی طے ہوئی ہے وغیرہ وغیرہ۔
ان تینوں طریقوں پر غور کرلیں جو بھی آپ کو بہتر لگے اس کے لئے ہوم ورک کریں اور مکمل تیاری کےساتھ کوشش کریں ۔ ہرممکن طور پر ایجنٹوں سے بچنا ہی آپ کے مفاد میں ہوگا۔

UK farmworker visa is an interesting topic for Workers nowadays because work in the UK has been a dream for Indians and Pakistanis. A lot of subcontinent residences are already settled there and playing their role in the progress of the United Kingdom.
A few months ago, the UK Government launched a seasonal worker pilot scheme that aimed to bring 2,500 seasonal workers to the farms. Under this scheme, six months UK farmworker visa will be issued to the successful candidates.
It was announced that the UK farm worker Visa pilot scheme will allow workers from outside the EU to do seasonal farm work in the UK for up to six months. There will be a cap of 2,500 workers per year. So it is the best opportunity to work in the UK for low-educated workers.
On the eve of the announcement of the farmworker visa scheme, the home minister said that the government hoped that the pilot scheme would help in minimizing the farm labor shortages. He also said that an automated harvesting solution was not universally available, and hoped that the farmworker pilot scheme would support farmers during peak production times.
He explained that the UK seasonal work visa scheme would be reviewed and it will be determined how to support the long-term needs of the UK farming industry. He said that Govt will observe, how foreign workers work in the UK in this period.
The farmer unions in the UK reportedly welcomed the new UK farm worker visa scheme but warned that it was not ambitious enough, as more workers are needed on UK farms.
Video on the latest position of UK farmworker visa
To qualify for the UK farmworker visa, the minimum age should be 18 years on the date of application. In addition, the scheme will only be open to workers from outside the European Union. No skill and language course is required for this job.
The UK Home Office said that the scheme will be started in the spring of 2019, and will be continued till December 2020. Now, this scheme has been started and common people are calling it UK farmworker visa 2019.
If we talk about wages, farm laborers earn an average of £7.98 an hour across the UK right now. The data show a minimum salary of £6.65 an hour rising to £12.05 for top earners. Check UAE Visa Status
This program is similar to other seasonal programs (such as those in New Zealand and the US), where laborers are paid slightly more due to it being peak season, and may also be provided with accommodation.
On the other hand, it is a fact that the above-mentioned salaries only apply to very basic labor positions, and the more advanced/technical worker may pay substantially more for work in the UK.
Authorized companies for UK farm worker visa
The Govt of the UK has authorized two British companies, which will collect CV, experience letters, and other documents from applicants. Each company will sponsor 1250 workers from outside the EU for a UK farmworker visa.
The address and websites of these companies are as under:
1)- Pro-Force Limited
Office address: Hunstead House, Nickle Farm, Chartham, Canterbury, Kent CT4 7PE, UK
Email: enquiries@pro-force.co.uk
Initially PRO Force Limited, An authorized company for the UK farm worker visa scheme, started registration for the sack of checking candidates’ interest. A pro forma was given on the company’s official website for all non-EU countries.
Meanwhile, the Second operating company Concordia limited announced that due to a limited quota of workers, they are unable to entertain people from all around the world. The company will consider candidates for a UK farmworker visa only from Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova only. This announcement is still available on the official website of Concordia.
Now after some days, PRO Force Limited has also given a similar statement on its website. According to the company, they will work for a UK farm worker visa scheme only in Ukraine and Moldova for the first year.
Therefore, the PRO force has promised to entertain candidates from other countries in case of fewer applications. They have explained that all data of candidates for UK farmworker visa is saved which may be used next year.
Comparison with Canada farm worker visa
Canada farm worker visa is very similar to the Uk farmworker visa due to the same requirements. Both are seasonal and for unskilled workers. Wages are also almost equivalent in this category in both countries.
When we talk about major differences, that may be clearly seen. As you know that Pakistanis are not eligible for a Canada farm worker visa. In the same way, green passport holders are not entertained this year in the UK farm worker visa scheme in spite of the UK government announcement.
Anyways, a chance is still there, as an authorized company for UK farmworker visa has promised to consider candidates from all non-EU countries in next season. So don’t leave hope, best of luck for the next time.
Meanwhile, you may search for farmworker jobs in the UK from given UK job portals for general categories. You can get further details of the UK farmworker visa from our videos given in this article.

Submit this information to the service focus or National Benefit Center that affirmed your most recent Form I-765.
In either case, if we receive your application or demand for a substitution EAD and you never again have any basis for applying for an EAD or employment authorization, we will not restore the card and will notify you that you don’t have a present basis for applying for an EAD or employment authorization.
Interim EAD
Interim EAD Card is issued when U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has failed to adjudicate an application within 90 long periods of receipt of an appropriately filed Employment Authorization Document application or within 30 long stretches of a legitimately filed initial Employment Authorization Document application in light of a haven application filed on or after January 4, 1995.
The interim EAD Card will be allowed for a period not to surpass 240 days and is liable to the conditions noted on the record. It is never again issued by neighborhood service focuses. One can anyway make an INFOPASS appointment and place a service ask for at nearby focuses, explicitly asking for it if the application surpasses 90 days and 30 days for haven applicants without an adjudication.

Comparison of EAD and Green Card
In spite of the fact that employment authorization archives and the green card share similar physical characteristics yet they are vastly different in practice. You can state, a green card is an ultimate objective while an EAD card is a way to achieve that objective. The main motivation behind the Green card is to identify a foreign individual as a man who has legitimate lasting resident status. By law, managers in the U.S. are required to ensure the greater part of their representatives has the best possible authorization to work in the nation.
Showing a valid EAD card fulfills that requirement, despite the fact that U.S. citizens and green card holders needn’t bother with this report to demonstrate work eligibility since it is an inherent benefit of the green card or citizenship. Another favorable position that green card holders have is the ability to movement uninhibitedly in and out of the nation, file petitions for unmarried children and companions to live in the U.S., and the sky is the limit from there.
Green card holders are permitted to movement uninhibitedly in and out of the nation, file petitions for unmarried children and companions to live in the U.S., and that’s just the beginning. The EAD card does not permit these benefits. To move in and out of the U.S., you should file for a movement record with the I-131 form. To file immigrant petitions for family individuals, you should be a green card holder or U.S. citizen.
Then again, employment authorization card is substantially more limited in what you can do, despite the fact that it is available to a wide scope of non-immigrant categories and also those waiting for pending applications with USCIS. In addition, unlike green cards, EAD cards can run in their validity period depending on the status of the cardholder.
EAD to Green Card Processing Time
USCIS is permitted up to 90 days to process your EAD application. Having an EAD that is pending does not authorize you to work; the EAD card should really be affirmed. Likewise, there is no premium processing option for employment authorization records. Consequently, planning ahead of time is emphatically prescribed to avoid any holes in employment time. Counsel one of our immigration lawyers to take in more about renewals and processing time.
Qualifying EAD categories
The classification includes the people who either are given an Employment Authorization Document incident to their status or must apply for an Employment Authorization Document with a specific end goal to acknowledge the employment.

Undocumented immigrants have been considered a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing influx of unregulated immigration, many worried about how this would impact the economy and, at the same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to control and deter illegal immigration to the United States” resulting in increasing patrolling of U.S. borders.
Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act implemented new employment regulations that imposed employer sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against employers who knowingly [hired] illegal workers”. Prior to this reform, employers were not required to verify the identity and employment authorization of their employees; for the very first time, this reform “made it a crime for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States.
The Employment Eligibility Verification document (I-9) was required to be used by employers to “verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States”. While this form is not to be submitted unless requested by government officials, it is required that all employers have an I-9 form from each of their employees, which they must be retained for three years after the day of hire or one year after employment is terminated.
