Employee Visa

Reliable & Fast Support for Employee Onboarding

start exploring

                  "Work visa" for persons who have entered into an employment contract with a local company. The employer sponsors the employee by applying for a visa for a period of 2 years.

01


2-year residency visa.

02


Allows you to sponsor immediate family — a spouse and children.

03


Allows you to submit for a Golden Visa as a manager if you were holding a managerial position with a monthly salary above AED 30 000 for at least 6 months.

Process of Obtaining Employee Visa

01


Submit your documents to the employer (a passport, your address and other information).

02


Sign an employment contract if necessary, depending on a free zone where are you going to be employed.

03


Receive an entry visa if you are outside the UAE (if you are inside the UAE, you will undergo a change of status which adds to the cost of the visa and to the time of the visa processing).

04


Enter the country and stamp e-visa at the customs.

05


Submit you stamped visa to your employer.

06


Attend medical and biometrics.

07


Receive your residency visa.

08


Receive your Emirates ID.

                  On the side of an employer the process is much more complicated. Depending on the place of the company incorporation employers might need to obtain a medical insurance, register employees in Wage Protection System and comply with other requirements besides just applying for a visa and arranging medical for the future employees.

For instance, Dubai Internation Financial Centre requires you to enroll with DEWS – end of services benefit program — employer should register the company and employees in this program and make monthly contributions for each employee.
