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
