Overview
Build your UAE team without the admin
Every employee in the UAE needs a work permit and residence visa sponsored by their employer. Mainland companies apply through the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), while free zone companies apply through their free zone authority.
We handle the full cycle: quota planning, offer letters and contracts, work permits, entry permits or status change, medical tests, Emirates ID, and cancellations when staff leave.
