Employment Visa Processing in the UAE

An employment visa in the UAE is a critical requirement for foreign nationals seeking work in the country. Employers are responsible for sponsoring the visa on behalf of their employees. 

The visa allows individuals to legally work, reside, and receive benefits associated with employment. Neo Vision Corporate Services provides seamless support in employment visa processing, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Key Steps in Employment Visa Processing

  1. Offer Letter and Job Contract: The employer issues an official job offer letter, which forms the basis of the employment agreement.
  2. Work Permit Approval: The employer applies for a work permit through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). This permit is valid for initial entry into the UAE.
  3. Entry Permit Issuance: The employee is issued an entry permit (valid for 60 days), allowing them to enter the UAE to begin the visa process.
  4. Medical Fitness Test: Upon arrival, the employee undergoes a medical test to ensure they are fit for work.
  5. Emirates ID Registration: Employees must register for an Emirates ID, which serves as the official identity card.
  6. Labour Card Issuance: A labor card is issued, officially registering the individual as an employee under UAE labor law.
  7. Residence Visa Stamping: The final step involves stamping the employment visa on the employee’s passport, granting residency and work privileges.

Documents Required for Employment Visa

– Employee’s Passport (valid for at least six months)
