Lindaflychick,
I remember all seven of us having to fill out one of those "Entry Permit Application" forms right before the final interview. It was prety much just one sheet of paper (photocopy) with your basic details such as full name, DOB, permanent address, phone numbers, next of keen, mother`s name, father`s name, ALL your passport details and they even ask you about your religion and, if musslim, whether or not you are willing to serve alcohol. We were told it is part of the visa processing paperwork. Just as reference, I`ve found one online at http://uae-embassy.org/documents/VisaApplication.pdf that looks almost like the one we filled out. Check it out and see if you recall filling out something similar already.
As far as only certain countries having to fill out that form, I am not sure... Did you try emailing your recruitment officer? Perhaps they can email you a copy of it, as the one above (in the website), IS NOT exactly the same as EK`s form. EK recruitment officers have been very helpfull to me AND they have promptly replied to my emails.
Hope this helps,
Fly Rules

hi everyone and flyrules!
can i bother you for a few questions to answer but first of all i've read more than 700 comments here sure it takes sometime but gives you a lot clears your doubts, fills the blanks. So on the 30th of this month which means i have 8 days to go, i am going to attend the OD in istanbul. i live in izmir. First question basically i've read some information about this but my circumstance is a bit different here i think. i am flying for a company and my schedule is already set so it is really difficult to get permission especially to get another job to tell your manager to live the city to another i can hear you say what are you talking about, people are leaving their countries i know but i need your advice even though.i have got permission for the 30th of this month from my company but just 2 days which is the 29th same day i am going to fly to istanbul and the 30th to attend OD.
I've read that after the OD on saturday they might call you back on monday to ask you to take the other step like exams and so on or is it not so?
flyrules or anyone could you inform me would be greatly appreciated.
another question i would like to ask is i actually have bought a light coloured business attire as it is mentioned on the invitation they have send me. i know how to do my hair right ,how to do my make-up, nails and etc.i am not going to ask how to do anyway but the point is my jacket is of course conservative long sleeved though is it ok if i wear a short sleeved blouse into the jacket would that be appropriate as long as i don't take my jacket off?
because in these days istanbul is approximately 35 degrees cantigrate
another question how many days do i need roughly to complete the interview exams etc as i still have a flying schedule i don't know how to cope with that!
so finally i have 8 days to go it is going to be my first try with emirates hope it would be the last and sure i will share every inch of my experience about OD and inform everyone here.
thanx in advance and million thanx who has shared their experience.
ooops!
wish me luck
Alya

Hola,
Well, they will actually tell you that you should be available for at least 5 days. It actually depends on how many people end up showing to the OD.
For instance, there were about 100 of us during the OD in Santa Cruz, only 7 got selected for the final interiew. So that's only 7 people to be scheduled for the final interview (avrg: 1 hour per person). The recruitment officers wanted to give us a whole day off to be able to gather all documents and photos required for the final interview. Also, we needed some extra time to finish up the on-line based tests.
Before we were sent home the first day, we talked to the recruitment officers and explained to them that we had everything ready (docs, photos, etc). I had booked my flight back to Miami for the following evening; another guy had to be at work and couldn't take the day off. So we agreed to held the final interviews the following morning as opposed to the day after. I was the first one scheduled for interview as they knew I had to catch a flight later that day.
With that said, my suggestion is: once you recieve the invitation to attend the final interview, talk to them, explain your situation. They are very understanding people. Even when you fill out the application forms for the final interview, you will be asked to let them know if there are any important events happening in your life within the next couple of months such as weddings, birthdays, graduation parties, etc. They will give you a start date based on your avalability! That is very nice of them.
As far as advise on what you should wear or not during the OD, I will let that for a girl to answer. I am a guy and its very simple for us: suite, shirt and tie. Guys can't go wrong.
Good luck!

Hallo,
As I am a female, may be I can give You some advice aboute what You have to wear on the Open Day.
There is a description in Your invintation what You have to wear :
. Business attire needs to be worn.This includes a fitted schirt/blous, fitted long sleeved jacket and a knee length skirt with skin coloured stockings.
. Appropriate foot ware would be: Court schoes with a heel and no ankle straps. Pleas do not wear open-toed sandals or ankle chains.
. Pleas do not wear neck scarves.
. pleas ensure that Your jewellery is conservative.
. Hair: If hair is schoulder length, pleas ensure it is tied back in a neat manner.
There were different Ladies on the Open Day and evrybody had business attire. But the most important on the Open Day is TO BE YOURSELF....
Just make a dicission of Your own what You exactly wear. The basic details You have already got. Wish You good luck!

I donīt really know about the dental check. But I think that it is imortant that Your teeth are healthy and have white natural coulor when You smile.
I am sure there are alot of cabin crews that have fillings .
And what about Your weight... It is difficult to say, because nobody knows what exactly does EK want. If You look normal ,not too fat and not too skinny....If You look nice and attraktive ,and confident with Your 85 kilos..it must not be a problem.But I canīt say You exactly. And what is Your personal feeling about Your weigt? Some people with 175 cm and have 85 kilos...but they look very different it depends on Your figer and so on. Just try....You will never know till You visit the Open Day.
Wish You good luck as well!

I hope we will get our happy End
I have just translated in to english one poem of a very famous russian writer his name is Alexander Pushkin. May be it helps some one . This poem has a avery deep meaning.
I am waiting for the answer from EK and I have so many thoughts..;-)
Only once we have achived our goal can we be hyppy.
If the life once lied to You
Donīt let You be upset
Just calm down,no regreats.
You will get Your happy End!
Yes in Future lives Your Heart
And the Presence is too sad.
Evry thing is like a wind
Disappears so quick as ice
And the Past will be so nice!

sad and in need of help
Hi everyone! Well I had my open day today, and I am feeling rather crushed.
I smiled, talked to people, was not negative in any way, made an effort to include quiet people, and honestly was relaxed and happy.
but...I didnt even make it past the first round....
I just have no idea what more i could have done.
I have years of customer service experience, am actively involved within my community, am running my own business and work bloody hard at everything I do!
Im not going to curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep, but I really am crushed.... If there is anybody, anybody at all that could offer any advice in regards to my resume I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it, because I am starting to think maybe that is part of the problem?... I kept it to two pages but clearly that didnt help .
I intend to reapply in 6 months, but help now would be really, really appreciated
