Hello, my husband is in the interview process of getting a job in Abu Dhabi. We are a family of 5 (couple with three young kids) from Australia. The offer looks like it'll be 50,000 Dirhams a month, which is obviously great, but nothing has been offered about housing, schooling, etc. The only extras mentioned were his flight over (not ours) and basic health insurance for him. 

Please let me know the procedure how can I apply Romania work visa.

Hi

I am moving to South-Korea next year to study. The university I want to go to (Hanguk university) doesn't allow me to stay more than a week after I finished my semester (end of June).

Whilst exploring the option of relocating from UK to Belgium, a major consideration is the schooling for my 6 year old (English speaking only). Wanting to live closer to work (Antwerp), I contacted three primary schools in surrounding areas, but am yet to receive a reply. As Antwerp and surrounding areas seem to be predominantly Flemish speaking, I fear my potential relocation choice may be a no go - from a state schooling point of view.

We have been offered a contract in Shanghai. It does not cover the cost of schooling for our son (first grade). Does anyone have any alternatives or know of expat homeschooling? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

As the title says, I am wondering if I am doing all that I can to land interviews and hopefully a job as a Manufacturing or Process Engineer in Ireland? As far as I have been able to tell, my occupation is eligible for a Critical Skills Permit. I have gotten mixed messages from recruiters and employers. For the most part recruiters are much more likely to say that I am eligible, while I have only talked to one maybe two employers directly.
