Whether you’re an employer hiring foreign talent or an individual pursuing a career opportunity in the UAE, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you handle the UAE employment visa process in 2025.
Step-by-Step Process for UAE Employment Visa & Work Permit
1. Quota Approval from MOHRE
Your employer must first obtain quota approval from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). This approval allows the company to legally hire foreign employees.
2. Employment Contract Submission
Once the quota is approved, the next step is signing a valid employment contract. This contract must be submitted to MOHRE for review and approval.
3. Apply for Work Visa and Entry Permit
Your employer will apply for a UAE work visa on your behalf. Required documents include:
- Passport copy
- Signed employment contract
- Educational and professional certificates
Alongside the work visa, an entry permit (employment entry visa) is also requested, allowing you to legally enter the UAE.
4. Receive Employment Entry Visa
Once approved, you’ll receive your employment entry visa, typically valid for 60 days. This gives you time to complete the in-country formalities upon arrival.
5. Emirates ID Application
After arrival, you must apply for an Emirates ID from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship. Biometric data (fingerprints and a photo) will be collected at an authorized center.
6. Mandatory Medical Fitness Test
You’ll be required to undergo a medical examination at a DHA-approved health center. Tests typically include screenings for communicable diseases like HIV and tuberculosis.
7. Submit Labor Contract to MOHRE
Your employer must submit the final labor contract to MOHRE. Once approved, it will be officially registered in the ministry’s system.
8. Health Insurance Coverage
Health insurance is mandatory in the UAE. Your employer will provide a valid health insurance policy before visa finalization.
9. Receive Official Work Permit
Once all approvals are complete, you’ll receive your UAE work permit. At this point, you're officially allowed to start working and your payroll processing can begin.
10. Residence Visa Stamping
The final step is stamping your UAE residence visa in your passport through the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). This legalizes your stay in the UAE for the contract duration.
