UAE security clearance

[pavil]

Apologies for not posting something in relation to flying and I know it's probably the equivalent of asking how long is a piece of string, but could anyone please let me know how long the security clearance roughly takes?

I've accepted a position with an airline in abu dhabi and although the welcome pack states it can take between two weeks and two months, I'm just wondering realistically how long I might have to wait as it's now just over two weeks since I sent all the required documents.

Thanks

as they said....2 weeks-2 months...

In actual fact, the clearance quite often is dependant on timely responses from other countries, that's why the time to obtain varies greatly

Mine took 9 weeks....maybe I was a bad boy

[pavil]

9 weeks? Think I'll be demented if it takes that long. I'm just keen to start but I'll have to keep playing the waiting game I suppose

[SOPS]

2 weeks 3 months, it will happen when it happens, and if that sends you demented, you are,coming to wrong place.

It greatly depends on your nationality as well.
