An employment visa in Dubai allows expatriates to legally live and work in the UAE under an approved employer. The process involves several structured steps, including work permit approval, entry procedures, medical testing, Emirates ID registration, and visa stamping.
At Click First Business Services, we provide complete assistance to ensure your employment visa process is smooth, compliant, and stress-free. Our team stays updated with the latest UAE immigration regulations to help avoid delays, errors, or penalties.
An employment visa is issued to foreign nationals who have secured a job offer from a UAE-based employer. The employer sponsors the visa and manages the application process through:
Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE)
General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA)
The visa is generally valid for 1 to 3 years, depending on the employment contract and company classification, and can be renewed before expiry.
To apply for an employment visa in Dubai, the following documents are typically required:
Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)
Recent passport-size photographs
Official job offer letter / employment contract
Attested educational certificates (if required)
Entry permit approval
Medical fitness certificate from an authorized UAE health center
Emirates ID application receipt
Employers are legally responsible for covering visa processing fees as per UAE labor laws.
Obtaining an employment visa involves a clear step-by-step procedure. At Click First Business Services, we guide you through every stage:
The applicant secures a job offer and signs an employment contract with a UAE-based employer.
The employer applies for a work permit through MOHRE. Once approved, an entry permit is issued, allowing the employee to enter the UAE. The entry permit is typically valid for 60 days.
The applicant enters the UAE using the approved entry permit.
The employee undergoes a mandatory medical fitness test at an authorized UAE medical center.
Biometric data (fingerprints and photo) are submitted as part of the Emirates ID application process.
The passport is submitted for residence visa stamping through GDRFA, officially completing the employment visa process.
