Do I need a Work Permit or Visa to work in United Arab Emirates?
We can generally support candidates needing a work visa in United Arab Emirates.
If you’re planning to work in the United Arab Emirates, you’ll need a work permit, and you’ll need a job offer from a company based in the United Arab Emirates. Agility EOR will handle most of the paperwork, but you’ll also need to provide some personal information and documents, like your passport, visa, and proof of your education and work experience.
The work permit will be linked to your specific job and employer. This means that if you change jobs, you’ll need to apply for a new work permit.
The length of your work permit will depend on your specific job and contract. Some work permits are only valid for a few months, while others can be valid for several years.
You’ll also need a residency visa to live and work in the United Arab Emirates. This is a separate document that allows you to live in the country for a specific period of time. We can help with the application process for your residency visa.
