Overview
An employment or labor visa lets a person live and work in the UAE under a sponsoring company. Each stage involves government approvals, medical checks and accurate documents, and a mistake at any point can delay the start date.
Our visa desk manages the process for employers and employees. We prepare and submit each application, coordinate every step and keep you updated until the visa is complete. You get one point of contact from request to residence visa.

What documents are needed for an employment visa?
Typically, the company’s trade licence and establishment details, the employee’s passport copy and photograph, and a signed offer or contract. Some roles may also need attested qualifications. We give you a clear checklist before starting.
What is the difference between an employment visa and a labor visa?
Both let a person work in the UAE under a sponsoring company. The category depends on the type of job and the worker’s classification, and the documents and requirements can differ. Tell us the role and we will confirm which applies.
Can you process visas for several employees at once?
Yes. We handle individual and multiple applications together, keeping every employee’s documents organised and tracked.
How long does an employment visa take?
Timelines depend on the company’s status, the job role and the authorities involved. We give you an expected timeline upfront, though final timing and approval are up to the authorities.
Can a visit visa be changed to an employment visa?
In some cases, yes. It depends on the person’s situation and the current rules. We review the case first and tell you honestly whether a change is possible and what the options are.
Can you handle the whole bundle for me?
Yes. The Employment Visa Bundle covers the steps from work permit to residence visa stamping, with one point of contact.
