Visa Processing for Employment in UAE

The Dubai work visa is a requirement for foreigners who want to be able to stay in the country for work long-term. With the visa, a person is legally allowed to work and reside within the country for a predetermined amount of time.

If you’re a company looking to hire non-UAE nationals as employees, obtaining a valid work visa for your staff is necessary. We’re here to make the process of obtaining work visas for you and for your employees easier. Trustword offers PRO services to ensure your company complies with the UAE Government regulations and employment laws.

Step 1

The Visa Process

Entry Permit

The hiring company is responsible for obtaining work visas for non-UAE nationals they wish to employ. The application form is sent to the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, who will provide the entry permit

Step 2

Medical Test 

Once in Dubai, the employee has 60 days to obtain a residence visa. The employee needs to be subjected to a medical test at a government-approved health center and accomplish other formalities to receive documents needed for the application, such as obtaining their ID from the Emirates ID Service center.

Step 3

Employment Visa

After acquiring the necessary documents, the application can be submitted to the Ministry of Labor, who can then issue the employment visa after the application is reviewed.

Step 4

Obtaining Residency

Obtaining an Emirates ID and Residency in the UAE is a vital part of living and working in the country. The Emirates ID serves as an official identity card for residents in the UAE and is required for various legal and administrative purposes. Residency allows you to live and work in the UAE, and it is typically tied to your visa status. Below is a detailed breakdown of the process for obtaining both your Emirates ID and Residency in the UAE.
