EMPOWER YOUR BUSINESS
Obtaining Work Permits/Visa
Securing a work permit or employment visa in Abu Dhabi allows individuals from outside the region to work there legally. The first step is to receive a job offer from a company in Abu Dhabi, as they will be your sponsor.
Both you and the employer must provide documents such as your employment contract, copies of your passport, and health certificates. The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED) reviews these documents, and if everything meets the requirements, they will issue the work permit. This serves as your authorization to work in Abu Dhabi. Adhering to the regulations is essential for a smooth and lawful working experience in this vibrant city.
