MOHRE work permits

Work Permit Servicesin Dubai

Nobody from abroad may work in the UAE without a permit from MOHRE, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. It is the legal permission that ties a person to an employer and a job title.

We handle every permit type MOHRE offers: new hires, job changes, renewals, part-time, temporary, mission, training and permits for people already on a family or Golden Visa. Employers and individuals both get a file that follows UAE labour law.

Whether MOHRE approves depends mostly on two things: the employer's quota category and how the job title is mapped. We look at both before anything is filed, so there is less chance of a refusal.

Step 2 of 2

Which visa does the person hold?

The permit and its fees are the same for both.

Free · No sign-up · Every government fee itemised

01 · Permit types

Which work permit do you need?

MOHRE has a separate permit for each kind of working arrangement. File under the wrong one and it is refused, the fee is lost and the clock starts again. Choose a group, then a permit, to see who it suits, what it asks for and how long it takes.

Group 1 · A normal job with one employer

Not sure which one fits?

Answer three short questions and we will point you to a permit.

Already in the UAE

New Work Permit

Valid for: 2 years Usually 2 to 5 working days

Suits

  • People in the UAE on a visit visa or another status
  • Hired directly by a company in the UAE

Main requirements

  • Passport with at least 6 months left
  • An offer from the UAE company
  • Papers showing the current UAE status

Watch out: The job must fit the company's licensed activity

Good to know: What you need exactly depends on your own profile

In Dubai, most permit delays come from three things: a job title in the wrong classification, no quota approval, or papers that are not complete. We sort these out before the application goes to MOHRE.

02 · Documents

Documents for a Dubai work permit

One missing paper is enough to get a file refused and lose weeks. Pick your situation, then tick off what you already have to see what is still to come.

Papers have to be attested properly and match the MOHRE job classification. A small mismatch can hold up approval or lead to a refusal.

What a work permit costs in government fees

These are the MOHRE and Tasheel counter fees from our current fee sheet, for a permit given to someone who already holds a family or Golden Visa, and for a part-time or intern permit. The final figure is confirmed once we have checked the employer's MOHRE status. Our service fee is quoted separately.

See the Employment Visa page

Check the employer first

We look at the employer's MOHRE standing and quota before you pay any fees.

The Tasheel typing and submission charge is part of each figure above.

MOHRE regulates work permits in Dubai. Applications are typed at approved centres such as Tasheel, and identity checks run through ICP.

05 · The process

A UAE work permit in five steps

Getting a work permit is easier when you know what comes next. Here is each step, what to check at it and the signs that something is wrong.

From offer to residence

Five steps to working legally, with nothing left to guess.

Step 1 of 5

Job offer

What happens

  • The employer issues the official MOHRE offer
  • It sets out the job title, salary and terms
  • You read it and sign

Check this

  • The job title should fit your qualifications
  • The salary should suit the job category
  • Do not sign a form that is blank

Warning signs

  • You are asked to pay the visa costs, which is against UAE law
  • You are told to start work before the papers are processed
  • The job title is not the job you will do
  • There is no written offer
