Just closed my Nbd account a year after leaving. And they had all cash on hand as I requested. Couple a kilos worth of thousand dirhams bills! I then walked to exchange to transfer it all back to the home bank. Only thing I needed to show was my passport. Someone had mentioned requiring a copy of your old UAE visa... Which I had made and ready to offer but they never asked for it.
It was definitely much easier to close the account than I thought... And in hindsight, it sure seemed a lot easier and more pleasant leaving than joining so many years ago. So glad to be gone from the slave ship mentality Kap |
Great thread,
on my way out as well Just resign also last week......once I start the process I will come back with all the info |
Slight thread drift (sorry people), but is EK aware of how much experience is walking out the door?
|
Just one correction/ question to Ron. I know it was a year ago, but when I wanted to close my HSBC account I was told I had to do it at the head office in Deria. Perhaps things have changed.
|
Yes.
Some comment has been heard to the effect that maybe we could reduce the number of lost cellphones being special-delivered to Brisbane under pillows if we had just a few more mature commanders. Retention measures have been proposed from our level to very high floors. If we hear anything at all from that it would likely be in early June. |
Lost phones under pillows ....that's cryptic.

SOPS,
I have been here for some time -standard letter (Good luck) from the chief pilot also the same for some other pilots that I know. I didnt get the impression that they care. Anyway move on keep the tips coming in everybody-great thread |
Hi SOPS,
The HSBC process I was told about did seem easier than expected, but I confirmed it again today with the call center. Even if you have a balance remaining in your account, you can withdraw it from an ATM (or transfer it all out before) and close the account from any customer service center. |
Clearance/pre-paid phones/roaming
As part of your leaving process you will be required to clear any guarantees showing on HR Direct. If you have a guarantee related to your Etisalat GSM phone the easiest way of doing that is to change the phone from postpaid to pre-paid.
Can anyone comment if the phone still works for international roaming after that change to pre-paid is done? Perhaps it requires some minimum credit to be maintained in order for roaming to be possible? |
I have been using prepaid since I arrived here. I am able to make and take calls in any country that I have tried. I have never been asked or seen anything relating to a minimum balance.
I vaguely remember talking to Etisalat about international roaming. Maybe just give customer support a call and tell them you want it. J |
Is there any chance to get a " kind of " Check list from Day 1 : how to resign ? with further steps ?
|
Am going through the process at the moment and
until now everything seems much easier than joining and actually great help from the leaving coordinator. Good luck everybody |
It's nice to know that things finally start rolling and getting easy once you hand over your resignation.

Cargo Allowance
Anyone know where to find the Cargo allowance for shipping your house home from DXB? If so how much do the company cover?
|
staff manual from the portal-according to years of service
|
Based also on distance to shipping destination, i.e. Oz and Americas get more than Europe.
|
Dropp, international roaming works fine with prepaid - they don't care about it because you can only use whatever credit you've prepaid anyway. The big deposit is only required on postpaid accounts in case you run up a big roaming bill.
|
Where in the Staff Travel manual? Going round in circles here
|
Uplink , it's in a strange place. I can't remember, but it is is in the Staff Travel Manuel. I just can't remember where.
|
Staff Travel Manual is on the Travel page in Groupworld on the left hand side about mid page!

One's "@eim.ae" email address
I will close out the Etisalat home phone/Elife account shortly which is associated with my "@eim.ae" original, personal, decades-old email address. Does that email address go dead when one's Etisalat account is closed or does it remain valid for some time?
|
Drop, it goes dead!
|
Has anyone tried to obtain a GCAA no accident record lately? Ive followed the link that's has been posted here previously but it doesn't open anymore! Anybody know the new one or must one present himself in person at the GCAAHQ along with passport,licence,visa,ID card etc?
Any help would be ummm helpful! |
Just a quick warning concerning etisalat...I resigned and left UAE in november, one week before I turned my etisalat contracts in prepaid by paying all my bills. I got all the receipts and guess what, they are messaging me every day that I still have to pay XXX dirhams and they threat me of bringing me to court..I've sent them the receipts and they said that it was a mistake and I owe them this money anyway.... Unbelievable.

Bank clearance letters Does a bank clearance letter require you to close your account first? Thanks |
Loads,
You don't have to close your current account. I left mine open after leaving dxb. I think they're more concerned with credit cards which may have an outstanding balance, or loans having the same. For that, you need that clearance letter. K |
Has anyone resigned and left before the 90 day period? Can we negotiate an earlier exit?
Any advice appreciated. |
if you transfer your final salary in your bank account you don't need a clearance letter
|
Bia
I did mine 1 month ago with no issues. Perhaps its a browser issue. Try it through another browser. Good luck!!

Last check
Quick question
My last day is at the end of the month 29th. I cant figure out what I should be paid. Is it my monthly pay + flying pay for May and June and Housing allowance. Or will I get 2 checks. The normal pay on the 25th then another last check on my last day the 29th. Thanks |
I have a good one for you, dropped off my passport for visa cancelation a few days ago, was told I will receive an email in 3 days to pick it up, when I went there after 3 days I was told the passport was actually ready the same day I dropped it off. If you want to leave Dubai in a hurry its worth it to go back there the same day.
|
bio botal,
You don't need to get EK involved with this. It's called a Verification Letter. Go to the GCAA website, and under e-services, look for Verification Letter. Get one issued before your last day of service. There's something in the rules about your license becoming invalid if you're not employed as a pilot. Not sure of the details, though. |
Does Anyone know how long the "letter of good conduct" from the Dubai Police is valid for?
Thanks Max |
Does Anyone know how long the "letter of good conduct" from the Dubai Police is valid for? |
It will say on the letter itself....
K |
FYI, I received my provident fund 19 days after my last day of service to my UAE USD account.

Is it possible to booked Cat A tickets for travel after last day of service?
