About This Service

How the UAE employment-visa route actually works

UAE work visas are employer-sponsored: a licensed company in the UAE issues an offer, applies for your work permit, and sponsors your residency once you arrive. There is no route that bypasses a genuine employer โ€” anyone offering a "guaranteed visa" without one is not describing the real UAE process.

Why Candidates Work With Us

What we check before you commit to anything

๐Ÿข

Employer verification

We check UAE trade licence details for the sponsoring company before you're asked to pay any fee.

Contract review

We help you read your offer letter and labour contract carefully โ€” salary, role, hours, and end-of-service terms.

FAQs

Dubai work-visa questions, answered plainly

Do I need a job offer before applying?+

Yes โ€” UAE employment visas are employer-sponsored. A confirmed offer from a licensed UAE employer is required before the visa process starts.

How long does the process take?+

Typically 2 to 6 weeks once the employer initiates sponsorship, depending on medical, Emirates ID and labour-contract processing.

Who pays the recruitment fee?+

Under UAE labour law, recruitment costs are generally the employer's responsibility. Be cautious of any agent asking for large upfront candidate fees for a "guaranteed" UAE job.

Can I change employers once in the UAE?+

UAE labour law allows job transfers under certain conditions after your initial contract period โ€” we can explain the current rules relevant to your visa category.

Is a medical test required?+

Yes, a standard medical fitness test is required as part of the Emirates ID and residency process after arrival.

How do I know if my sponsoring employer is genuine?+

We check the company's UAE trade licence before you proceed. You can also independently verify through the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
