How Can I Apply for a Dubai Work Permit?
To obtain a Dubai work permit, follow these steps:
1. Secure a Job Offer
• You must first have a job offer from a company in Dubai (UAE). The employer acts as your sponsor and initiates the work permit process.
2. Employer Applies for Work Permit
• Your employer applies to the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) for initial approval. This includes submitting documents like the job contract and your personal details.
3. Entry Visa Issuance
• Once the work permit is approved, you receive an entry visa, allowing you to travel to Dubai and begin the process for residency.
4. Medical Tests
• After arriving in Dubai, you must undergo mandatory medical examinations to check for certain health conditions (e.g., tuberculosis, hepatitis).
5. Emirates ID and Residency Visa
• Apply for an Emirates ID by visiting the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Ports Security (ICP).
• Your employer assists in obtaining a residency visa, which is tied to your work permit.
6. Work Permit Finalization
• The work permit is finalized once you have your residency visa. This permit allows you to legally work in Dubai.
Key Documents Required:
• Passport (valid for at least six months)
• Passport-sized photographs
• Job offer letter or employment contract
• Educational and professional certificates (attested if required)
• Medical fitness certificate
• Employer's trade license and company details
Notes:
• The process typically takes a few weeks and is primarily handled by your employer.
• Costs are generally borne by the employer, not the employee.
• Ensure your job offer and visa sponsor are legitimate to avoid scams.
