If you want to apply for a job and get a work visa in the UAE, you'll need to have a few things ready:

  • A valid passport
  • Recent passport-sized photos
  • Your academic and professional certificates, all verified
  • An employment contract or offer letter
  • A medical fitness report from a clinic that the UAE accepts, and sometimes a professional license (like DHA or KHDA)
  • For residence visas, you will also need to register for an Emirates ID and provide your biometrics.

If you are applying for a Green or Golden visa, you must provide:

  • Proof of your income
  • Your qualifications and work history.

Make sure all your documents are either in English or Arabic and are legally attested in your home country, as well as by the UAE embassy.
