In the UAE, various visa types cater to different needs. As a business owner in Dubai, understanding these options is essential for making informed decisions.
Employment/Work Visa
To work in Dubai, a work visa is essential. Typically sponsored by an employer, this visa requires the applicant to have a valid job offer. Once in the UAE, the employee must complete additional steps, including obtaining a labor card, an Emirates ID, and a residency permit issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA). F.L.C.E.M. assists in securing your work visa smoothly.

Also known as a family visa, a residence visa in the UAE permits a foreigner to live permanently in the country. This visa allows holders to sponsor immediate family members, including spouses, parents, and children under 18 years of age. To maintain a valid residence visa in Dubai, holders must enter the UAE at least once every six months; failure to do so may result in the visa being blocked. The residence visa is typically valid for up to three years and should be renewed at least 30 days before expiration.
