Visa Assistance
UAE Employment Visa for Staff
Onboard employees compliantly — offer letter, quota, permit, medical and Emirates ID.
Hiring in the UAE means a labour file, a work permit, a signed offer letter that matches the contract, and a residence visa — in that order, with the sequence differing between mainland and free zone employers. We manage employee onboarding end to end so your new hire is legally working from a known date, and handles cancellations cleanly when someone leaves.
