UAE Employment Visa & Work Permit — Handled End to End
Get your employees a UAE employment visa, work visa renewals, and work permits — we handle all UAE visa applications. With an employment residence visa, expats can secure a job and stay in the UAE, open bank accounts, get a driving licence and sponsor family. The application process can be complicated — which is exactly why our PRO team runs it for you.
The Phases of an Employment Visa
First comes the employment entry permit — issued to foreign workers allowing them to enter the UAE, a temporary pass until residency. Upon arrival it converts to the 2-year employment residency visa after medical fitness testing, Emirates ID biometrics and passport stamping. Employees transferred from a company branch outside the UAE need an intra-company transfer visa instead — we process both. The UAE’s new Work Bundle platform has cut the process from 15 steps to 5, and with documents ready, most applications complete in 7-10 working days.
What It Costs
A standard two-year UAE work visa — including health check-ups, MOHRE charges and associated fees — usually falls between AED 3,000 and AED 7,000, depending on skill category and emirate. We quote one fixed all-in number before anything starts.
Already Running a UAE Company? We’ll Be Your Visa Department
If your company is already up and running and you simply need someone to handle the visas — new hires, renewals, cancellations, dependants — that’s exactly what we do for dozens of UAE companies. And our pricing model is deliberately different: you pay the real government charges at cost, plus only a small handling fee on top — and we show you the actual breakdown, government receipt by government receipt. No padded "packages", no mystery totals. Most companies discover they’ve been overpaying their previous PRO by more than our entire fee.

Documents & Requirements
A valid job offer from a UAE employer, valid passport (6+ months) with white-background photos, the MOHRE-approved offer letter and employment contract, the sponsoring company’s trade licence and establishment card — and for skilled job categories, attested academic certificates. That last one trips up most applicants: our attestation service covers 105+ countries with a quote within the hour, so your degree is UAE-ready before the visa clock starts.
Renewals — Don’t Burn the Grace Period
Work visa renewal follows clear steps: inform your employer, pass a medical test at an authorized center, renew your Emirates ID with biometrics, then submit for stamping. You typically get a 28-day grace period after expiry — beyond that, fines accumulate and prolonged overstay risks legal consequences up to deportation. Lost your job? The clock works the same way — our Dubai Job Guide (AED 25) is the 30-day re-hire plan built exactly for that situation. Our renewal tracking makes sure our clients never see any of it.
Thinking Bigger Than One Visa?
If your salary reaches AED 30,000+ with a degree, you may skip the employment visa entirely and qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa — check in 60 seconds with our free eligibility tool. Bringing family? We plan family visas alongside yours. Not sure which route fits? The UAE Visa Finder maps it in four questions.
