FAIHA SERVICES
Employment Visa Services
Support for employers and employees with UAE employment visas: the steps involved, the documents they usually need and what comes next.
OVERVIEW
About This Service
An employment visa allows a person to live and work in the UAE under an employer’s sponsorship. For private-sector employers, it involves a work permit from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) and a residence visa, with a medical examination and Emirates ID along the way.
The exact steps depend on the employer’s setup (for example, mainland or free zone), the role and the relevant authorities. We support both employers and employees with the process and the paperwork.
