Category 1: If you possess a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Category 2 : If you possess a post-secondary degree in any subject.
Category 3 : Having a high school diploma.
What documents do you require?
You require a number of supporting papers when applying for an employment visa for the UAE, such as:
- A copy of your passport and your original passport
- A passport-size photo that complies with UAE regulations
- A copy of your academic credentials. Your credentials must be approved by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in your nation, as well as the national Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- A medical certificate from a UAE hospital that has received official approval.
- Documents from the business that hired you, such as the business card or commercial licence of the organisation.
How does it happen?
The work permit must be acquired on your behalf by your employer. Work permits for the UAE are issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MoHRE). To apply for a work visa in the UAE, follow these steps:
- At the Tas'Heel website, the Ministry of Labour's online system, the employer prints the application for the work permit.
- They provide the necessary paperwork .
- After reviewing their application, the Ministry makes any required corrections or requests that any missing papers be submitted again.
- The employer can get the permission from the Ministry's website when the Ministry issues it.
How long does it take?
Upon the complete submission of documents, it usually takes about 5 working days for the Ministry to issue the work permit.
What is the validity of the work permit?
A work permit is initially valid for 30 days and can be renewed for an additional 30 days. You have 60 days to stay in the nation during which you and your employer must make arrangements to get a residence visa, an Emirates identification card, and your labour card.
You can live and work lawfully in the UAE if you have both a residence visa and a labour card. Depending on your intended purpose of travel and the discretion of the UAE authorities, residence visas for the country can be obtained for 1, 2, or 3 years.
