Employment Visas for Private Companies

Businesses in the UAE mainland can hire international talent by obtaining employment entry permits and processing residence visas. Here’s what you need to know:

Key Details:

  • Validity:
    • Free zone companies: Employment visas are valid for 3 years.
    • Onshore mainland companies: Visas are valid for 2 years.
  • Employer Responsibilities:
    • Employers must ensure all travel arrangements are made for employees, including the ‘okay to board’ clearance, which may be required by airlines.
    • Residence visa status must be applied for within 30 days of the employee’s entry into the UAE.

Estabia ensures your visa applications are completed on time and comply with all UAE regulations.


Family Residency Visas in the UAE

If you’re a UAE resident, you can sponsor family residence visas for your spouse, children, or parents. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:

Sponsorship Requirements:

  • Monthly Salary Thresholds:

    • AED 4,000 or AED 3,000 + accommodation for spouse and children.
    • AED 20,000 or AED 19,000 + a two-bedroom accommodation for sponsoring parents.

Required Documentation for Family Residence Visas:

  1. Typed application form.
  2. Employment verification:
    • Salary certificate (government employees) or an attested work contract (private-sector employees).
  3. Bank statements:
    • 3 months for long-term residents or 1 month with a bank letter confirming salary transfer (for new residents).
  4. Accommodation proof:
    • Attested tenancy contract.
  5. Identification documents:
    • Emirates ID and labor card.
  6. Marriage certificate:
