The Arabia Expat team values accuracy above all else. Our guides, data tables, cost-of-living figures, and regulatory information serve tens of thousands of professionals making life-changing decisions about relocating to the Gulf. When a visa rule changes, a school adjusts its fees, a utility tariff is updated, or a rental market shifts, our content must reflect that change promptly and correctly. Your feedback is an essential part of our quality assurance process. Readers who are living and working in the Gulf, HR professionals processing visas daily, immigration consultants advising clients, and real estate agents tracking rental markets all possess frontline knowledge that helps us maintain the most accurate and current expat resource available.

Email Us

The most effective way to reach us is by email:

contact@arabiaexpat.com

We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 working hours. Messages received over weekends or GCC public holidays will be addressed on the next working day. For data corrections and regulatory updates, we prioritize faster turnaround times since these directly affect the accuracy of published content that other readers are relying upon.

When to Contact Us

We actively seek the following types of feedback, and every substantive message receives a personal response.

• Data corrections: If you notice outdated visa requirements, incorrect school fee information, inaccurate utility costs, or stale rental price data, please let us know. Include the specific page URL, the information you believe is incorrect, and if possible your source reference or firsthand knowledge. Verified corrections are published within 48 hours of confirmation, and material updates include a note acknowledging the change.
• Regulatory updates: If a country has amended its visa rules, labor law provisions, driving licence requirements, utility tariffs, or any other regulation that affects expatriates, and our content does not yet reflect the change, your notification helps us update faster. This is particularly valuable for changes announced in Arabic-language official gazettes that may not have received English-language coverage.
• Content suggestions: If there is a topic relevant to Gulf expats that we have not yet covered, or if an existing guide could benefit from additional detail on a specific aspect, we welcome suggestions. Past reader requests have led to new guides on topics including banking setup, insurance comparison, and domestic helper visa procedures.
• Salary and employment queries: For salary data, gratuity calculators, labor law analysis, and employment-specific questions, please visit our sister site taxfreesalaries.com, which is dedicated to Gulf employment and compensation resources.
• Technical issues: If you encounter a broken link, a calculator that produces unexpected results, a display issue on mobile or desktop, or any other technical problem, please describe the issue with your browser and device type so we can investigate and resolve it.

What We Cannot Help With

To ensure we set appropriate expectations and direct you to the right resources, please note the following limitations on what we can assist with.

Is Arabia Expat an official government resource?

No. Arabia Expat is an independent informational website maintained by Mottalib Radif, MBA INSEAD. We are not affiliated with any government ministry, embassy, immigration authority, or employer. Our data is sourced from official government publications, recruitment platform surveys, property portals, and industry reports, but we are not an official source ourselves. For official employment and immigration matters, please refer directly to the relevant government authority: MoHRE for the UAE, MHRSD for Saudi Arabia, and MADLSA for Qatar.

Can you help me find a job or sponsor my visa?

Arabia Expat is an informational resource, not a recruitment agency, visa sponsor, or employment intermediary. We do not post job listings, process applications, interview candidates, or provide visa sponsorship of any kind. We do not connect job seekers with employers or facilitate placements. For job searches, we recommend established platforms including Bayt.com, GulfTalent, LinkedIn, and employer career pages. For visa matters, consult the relevant government immigration authority or engage a licensed immigration consultant in the country where you intend to work.

Can you provide personalized legal or financial advice?

No. Arabia Expat provides general informational content for educational purposes. We cannot advise on individual employment contracts, specific legal disputes, personal tax situations, or immigration cases that depend on your unique circumstances. For these matters, we strongly recommend consulting qualified professionals: employment lawyers licensed in the relevant jurisdiction, certified accountants with Gulf experience, and registered immigration consultants who can provide advice tailored to your specific situation.

Where can I find salary data and calculators?

Salary data, gratuity calculators, salary calculators, and detailed labor law analysis are available on our sister site taxfreesalaries.com. That site is dedicated exclusively to Gulf employment, compensation, and labor law resources, providing more depth and more frequently updated data than we could offer as part of the broader Arabia Expat resource.

Response Time Expectations

We treat every message with respect and aim to provide genuinely helpful responses rather than automated templates. Our current response time targets are as follows.

• Data corrections and error reports: 24 working hours for initial acknowledgment, 48 hours for investigation and response, and if the correction is confirmed, updated content published within 48 hours of confirmation.
• Regulatory update notifications: 24 working hours for acknowledgment and investigation. Content updates published within two weeks of official regulatory change confirmation.
• General enquiries and content suggestions: Within 5 working days.
• Technical issue reports: 48 working hours for acknowledgment and investigation.

Disclaimer

Arabia Expat does not provide personalized legal, financial, immigration, or tax advice. The information and calculator results on this site are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Laws, regulations, and market conditions change, and individual circumstances vary. Government policies regarding visas, residency, and employment can be updated with limited notice, and there may be brief periods between a change and our content reflecting it. For decisions involving employment contracts, end-of-service benefits, visa applications, property purchases, or financial planning, we recommend consulting with qualified professionals who have expertise in the relevant country and can assess your specific situation. Please review our Terms of Use for complete disclaimers and limitations of liability.
