I've never had to do this before, and don't want to end up in UAE and unable to get a visa just because I don't have the right documents.
The MOE stated in an initial offer letter; (you need a) "copy of your highest qualification certificates (attested with transcripts)". Some EFL teacher who's already successfully completed the EFL teacher work/ residence visa process in UAE, please put me out of my protracted misery!:(
...I could just ask a lawyer to process both the Degree AND transcript as separate entiities, but that could be wasting quite a lot of money....
