How UAE visas actually work

A work-and-residence visa is three things: a work permit, an entry permit, and a residence stamp with Emirates ID.

What affects your visa route

Your workspace, visa route and applicant profile shape the quota, timeline and cost. We confirm the route, documents, timing and government charges before work begins.

Quota

Your workspace and licence package determine how many visas your company can support.

Timeline

Clearances, applicant location and appointments determine the route and timing.

Cost

What clients say

Frequently asked

How many visas can my company obtain?
Visa availability depends on the issuing authority, licence package, facility or office arrangement, establishment status, employee role, and current immigration rules. A licence alone does not create a fixed universal visa quota. We confirm available capacity before the setup is finalised.
Can every shareholder obtain a UAE residence visa?
Not automatically. Shareholder or investor residence options depend on the entity, ownership position, immigration rules, supporting documents, and the individual applicant’s approval. We assess the intended residence route as part of the wider company setup.
How long does a UAE employment visa take?
Timing varies by emirate, authority, applicant nationality, document readiness, medical and Emirates ID steps, and any government query. We map the current process and manage the sequence, but final timing remains with the relevant authorities.
Can a visa be processed before the company licence is issued?
Usually, the company must first have the relevant licence and establishment or immigration records in place. The exact sequence differs by authority and visa type. We confirm the correct order before beginning the application.
Do employees need a work permit as well as a residence visa?
Often, yes. Required employment, labour, work-permit, and residence steps depend on whether the employer is mainland or free zone, the employee’s role, and the authority involved. We coordinate the correct process for the company and individual.
Can I sponsor my spouse and children through my UAE residence?
Eligible UAE residents may be able to sponsor family members, subject to the applicable visa category, supporting documents, insurance, relationship evidence, income or accommodation conditions where relevant, and immigration approval. We confirm the correct route around the principal applicant’s residence status and family circumstances.
Can I sponsor my parents through UAE residence?
In some cases, family sponsorship can extend beyond a spouse and children, but eligibility depends on the sponsor’s residence category, income, insurance, dependency evidence, documents, and current immigration rules. We assess the practical route before any application is filed.
What happens if my visa is close to expiry?
The correct action depends on the visa category, sponsor, renewal window, documents, medical or insurance requirements, and the company’s own licence and establishment status. Do not leave renewal to the last moment: a company lapse can interrupt immigration processing. We review the dates and sequence the required steps.
What documents are usually needed for a UAE residence visa?
The required documents vary by visa category and authority, but may include passport copies, photographs, entry or status documents, medical results, Emirates ID biometrics, insurance, company or employment records, and supporting evidence for the relevant sponsorship route. Family applications may also require attested relationship documents.
