Questions
Before you schedule a session.
What is a setting up in a new city session in Dubai?
It is a one-to-one session with a local Expert, lasting 60 to 120 minutes. You talk through your own move and build a setup checklist together. The session takes place in a public place.
Where does the session take place?
Always in a public place, such as a cafe, library, coworking space, mall food court or museum. Both of you see the venue before anyone pays. Sessions never take place in a home or any private place.
Can an Expert give legal or immigration advice?
No. Experts share what worked for them and point you to the official source for anything formal. For visas, tax, money or legal questions, always check with the official body.
How do I schedule a session and pay?
Choose an Expert, then send a request to schedule a session. Once the Expert confirms, you pay the session fee in the app. The Expert sets the fee, and you see it before you pay.
Can someone come with me?
Yes. You can add a Folk, an optional trusted person, to your session for extra peace of mind. Timefolk works on iPhone, Android, the web and inside Telegram.
