ADU is hiring teachers for its 5 week summer program without offering work visas. Teachers will be independent contractors working on tourist visas.

Can a visitor legally work as an independent contractor in the UAE? Is getting paid likely to be a problem?

Thanks.

There are now two other threads with your question discussed. I think you have caused yourself a problem by spamming the board with questions. Laughing Now you will have to search for answers.

According to UAE law, it is illegal to work without a valid work visa - ADU offering 5 week contracts without providing correct documentation? STAY FAR FAR AWAY - as the person breaking the law - YOU will suffer the consequences. And now that their scheme has become public, I wouldn't be surprised if examples will be made.

It's illegal in the UAE to work WITH a valid work visa? Smile))

And I thought Russia was bad!
