Our Visa Processing Journey

A clear, step-by-step process that takes your employee or investor from application to fully stamped UAE residence visa — efficiently and without complications.

1

Document Collection and Verification

We provide a tailored document checklist and collect all required documents — verifying completeness and accuracy before any application is submitted to avoid rejections or delays.

2

Work Permit and Entry Permit Application

We submit the work permit application through MOHRE and the entry permit application through GDRFA — managing both portals simultaneously to minimise processing time.

3

Status Change

For applicants already in the UAE on a visit visa or other status, we process the status change — converting their existing status to residence visa eligibility without requiring them to exit the country.

4

Medical Fitness Test

We coordinate the medical fitness test at the relevant health authority — providing guidance on the process, required documents, and test centre locations to make the experience as smooth as possible.

5

Emirates ID Registration

We submit the Emirates ID application to the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship — coordinating the biometric registration appointment and tracking the Emirates ID issuance.

6

Visa Stamping and Delivery

We complete the final visa stamping — delivering the fully stamped UAE residence visa and all associated documents, confirming the visa holder is legally authorised to reside and work in the UAE.

Frequently Asked Questions About UAE Visa and Immigration Services in Dubai

How long does a UAE employment visa take to process? +
A standard UAE employment visa typically takes between two and four weeks from the work permit application through to final visa stamping — depending on the applicant's nationality, the free zone or mainland authority, and the processing time of each step. We provide a realistic timeline estimate based on your specific situation.
Can an employee change their visa status from inside the UAE? +
Yes — in most cases, an employee who is in the UAE on a valid visit visa or other status can change their status to a residence visa without leaving the country. We assess the eligibility for an inside-country status change based on the applicant's current visa type and advise on the most efficient approach.
How long is a UAE residence visa valid? +
Standard UAE residence visas are valid for two years for most employment and dependent visas, and three years for investor and partner visas. Renewals must be initiated before the visa expires to avoid overstay fines. We track all visa expiry dates and manage renewals proactively on your behalf.
What happens if an employee's visa expires without renewal? +
Overstaying a UAE residence visa results in daily fines that accumulate until the visa is renewed or the individual exits the UAE. In serious cases, overstay can result in a travel ban. If a visa has already expired, contact us immediately — we will assess the situation and advise on the fastest way to regularise the position.
Do you handle visa processing for domestic workers? +
Yes — we process domestic worker visas including housemaids, drivers, and other household staff — managing the specific requirements and procedures applicable to domestic worker visa applications in the UAE.
How do we get started? +
Simply contact us for a free consultation. We will review your visa requirements, assess your team's current immigration status, and provide a clear plan to manage all your UAE visa and immigration needs efficiently.
