WHY HIRE FOREIGN WORKERS

HOW CAN YOU HIRE FOREIGN WORKERS?

Companies that hire foreign nationals in the UAE must apply for and sponsor their employees visas.

The UAE offers a standard work permit that’s typically valid for two years. To obtain this work permit, foreign nationals must also obtain a residence visa and Emirates ID card.

According to Article 13 of the UAE Labor Law, companies cannot employ non-nationals without taking prior consent of the Department of Labor and obtaining a work permit.

When giving a work permit, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation considers the following:

  • The worker must possess the professional competence or academic qualifications needed in the country.
  • The worker has lawfully entered the country and satisfied the conditions of residency in the UAE.
  • The Department of Labor may not consent to the employment of non-nationals unless it examines its records and ensures that there are no nationals registered in the employment section, capable of performing the required job.
