Hiring a new employee involves more than signing an offer. Employers also need to coordinate the appropriate work permit, entry or status arrangements, medical fitness and residency steps for the employee. The exact process depends on the employer, the employee’s circumstances and the relevant authority.
Start with the employee and company details
Prepare the employee’s passport and other requested documents, along with the company’s relevant licence and establishment information. Check that names and dates match across the documents before submitting an application.
Plan the work permit and residency process
The employer’s work permit and the employee’s residence visa are connected but distinct steps. Depending on the case, entry permission or a change of status, a medical fitness examination and an Emirates ID application may also be required.
Keep track of each application
A shared checklist helps HR teams see missing documents, outstanding approvals and upcoming renewal dates. Korporate Konnektions supports companies through employment visa and PRO processes in Dubai and the UAE.
Requirements and fees can change. Confirm the current requirements for your business and employee with the relevant authorities before applying.
