What Is the UAE Employment Visa?

The Dubai employment visa is a 2- or 3-year residence visa sponsored by a UAE employer, whether in mainland Dubai or free zones. This comprehensive visa package is processed through MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) or GDRFA (General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs) and includes your labour card, Emirates ID, and mandatory health insurance.

Your employer handles the sponsorship process and liaises directly with relevant authorities like MOHRE or the respective free zone entity. This employment visa gives you legal residency status and the right to live and work in the UAE under your employer's sponsorship.
