United Arab Emirates (UAE) visa information

Before you prepare for your removal to the United Arab Emirates, you need to learn about the country you'll be moving to. The decision to move to the UAE can be a complex one, and shouldn't be taken lightly. There are a many different visa types for temporary and permanent residence in the UAE which you should investigate before moving.

This should not be considered emigration advice; visa information can and does change. For professional advice and the most current information, please contact the Emirates embassy for up-to-date and thorough information on visas and immigration rules.

A general guide to visas and work permits for the UAE may be found on the Living in Dubai website - which may be a very helpful resource should you decide to move to the UAE.

Rules for visas and working in the UAE

Once you have landed a job in the UAE, you will need to secure a residential permit. Once you have this permit, your employer can apply for a labour card which allows you to work in the UAE.
